The Tim Ferriss Podcast is Live! Here Are Episodes 1 and 2

What about Android?

Can’t find them on Stitcher.

It should be Tim Tim Talk Talk.

Awesome! Two really great guests, cant wait to check them out today while working.

Hi. I am on linux and don’t have itunes. Is there any way to listen to the podcast? Thanks.

Is the podcast available outside of iTunes? I want to listen to it on my Nexus 5.

I’m trying to find the show on Stitcher but I’m not finding it at all. When I click any of the links above I get directed to itunes. Am I doing something wrong?

Tim- you should provide a non-iTunes way to download them (just an mp3 link here would work).

Tim, it would be great if you post the tools you used to make the podcast: mics, audio recorder/mixer, remote connection (Skype?) the meta learning to produce a podscast.

I just started listening to episode 2 with Waitzkin. It is strange to listen to you with a more serious voice than usual 🙂

Waitzkin sound quality is not so good (but good enough). For non native English speakers sound quality matters more, it makes it easier

Waiting for the next episodes 🙂

These are ****ing amazing, judging from the second podcast! Keep them coming. Having read Josh’s book, I love fact that the interview is a supplement to, and not a summary of, The Art of Learning. I made a note to incorporate meditation into my daily routine.

One thing you could improve is the music – we go from hearing Josh closing with a profound reminder that “it’s all about the love” to 90’s-style techno music! Also, if anyone feels like getting transcripts made and posting a link that would be incredible – I listened to most of the podcast out and about and so didn’t make notes on all of it.

Thank you for these.

Hi Tim, Is there any chance you could make your podcasts/TV shows available in other formats in addition to iTunes? Not everyone worships at the alter of Apple (and no, I’m not a Windows user). Thanks.

Tim,

Tim, Tim Talk Talk is a great idea, however I could do without the vulgarity.

Hi Tim,

Great podcast and interesting topics.

The episode with Kevin was funny and very interesting, while the episode with Josh was inspiring.

With regard to the chess topic.

You’ll be interested to know that most serious chess players above expert level (2000 rating is “expert”, Josh is 2464, Maurice is around 2466, Grandmaster is 2500, I am about 2200… to give a guide) can quite easily play at least one game at once without sight of the board, often several at once blindfolded.

Seems mystical to weaker players and non players, but its just pattern recognition and visual memory, I guess.

Very interesting that all the correlations between chess and martial arts, Josh is a deep thinker in a philosophical sense.

Anyway, keep em coming Tim!

Big fan from Australia.

Tim,

1. Can you please provide these on Youtube, or another non-Apple channel? A lot of people, including me, are die hard Apple avoiders who do not want to install itunes on our laptops (I use Spotify/Amazon instead).

2. Can you provide transcripts of these interviews? Doing so should be pretty cheap, and (as you know) will increase consumption efficiency by an order of magnitude, especially if a reader is only interested in a small part of the interview.

Thanks.

Kip

hi, I loved this post!! great article and congrats on reaching top 100 i will be back to visit often

This is a fantastic idea. It’s something I’ve been waiting for for so long: getting inside the mind of you Tim and understanding how you solve problems and ask questions. I’ve listened to so many video interviews and it’s always the same content and answers said in a slightly different way. This new content is as good as a few new books, hope you keep it going to 100 episodes

Congratulations on the podcast! Looking forward to listening to these tonight.

Any plans to make an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience to promote this? Your podcasts with Joe are always truly epic!

Tim,

Thanks so much for doing this!

I don’t think there’s any need for improvement – the #1 thing is that you and your guests enjoy doing the show (your audience can sense that). That’s the only way you’re going to continue doing this anyway, right? : )

Hi,

If anybody is looking for the stitcher link of this podcast, you can find it below:

Tim, it would be great if you can include the stitcher link too. Not everybody in the world uses apple or itunes..

I had to google a lot to find out the stitcher link of your podcast. Even the search option in the stitcher app doesn’t work well..

First episode was great! Working on the second now. Keep em coming!

I agree with some others that video would be great. I wonder though, do you find it is more work to be on camera? It’s a different level and is much more exposing.

I know that you and Kevin could talk forever but the Random show is never as long. Is this done on purpose or does it have to do with being in front of the camera?

Tim I’m an old school guy still use Zune. Tried your RSS feed I get an error message that the RSS link is good but the podcasts can’t load.

Great pod cast would like to see many different kinds of guests really amazed so far the investing stuff does get kind of old to listen to, but learning how the tech world works is interesting stuff.

Heya, I’d really like to listen to your podcasts, but I refuse to pollute my computer with Apple products, and iTunes in particular. Can you please make mp3’s available for download without having to go through iTunes?

Episode 1 – I Loved the informal nature of the podcast – in particular the fact that you guys were crude aka real at many points. Lots of great questions asked. I felt that the most interesting part of the podcast was the last quarter when you seemed to loosen up and let the conversation flow more without trying to stick to an agenda.

Episode 2 – Listened to 5 minutes and decided to “change the channel” – I found the content and guest to be very interesting but couldn’t get over the fact that Joshua was on the phone. The distance between you two is evident right away, not only in sound quality but in how you interact. There is definitely something lost when people aren’t in the same room. I often compare listening to a podcast as similar to having a conversation with friends (incredibly smart and interesting friends) but that feeling is lost when listening to a phone interview.

– Keep it up Tim, I’m sure you’ll grind out a great product as always.

As someone who listens to multiple podcasts daily, and as someone who has produced my own podcast as a hobby, I feel qualified to offer some constructive criticism.

1) It’s about time you did a podcast, Tim. I love the Random Show, but the latency between episodes is killer.

2) You shouldn’t rely on feedback to determine if you continue producing episodes. The best podcasts, IMHO, are the ones that are made consistently because the host(s) have some deep desire to “output”, regardless of the ratings they receive.

3) Don’t feel obligated to defer or give too much time to the guest. Yes, you did invite them, but your name is in the title of the show and people tune in to hear YOU.

4) I felt the talk between yourself and Kevin regarding wanting to work in fast-food came off as very privileged, borderline condescending. I imagine you have many listeners who aren’t self employed or entrepreneurs who still read your books and visit the site who might find this particular section of the podcast to be a bit insulting.

Other than that, I very much enjoyed both episodes and I look forward to hearing more.

people are asking for video. this is entertaining, watching faces, drinking, laughing. audio in such a case more about what being said, which most important.

mp3 format is a good idea.

of course tet-a-tet talks are better in all meanings, but this limits your choices geographically. so it doesn’t much matter as long as content and your picks are valuable to you and your crowd.

tim, you are fun, and you pick (or make behave) people fun. it’s amazing how you guys move in a matter of seconds from ‘sucking my balls’ to importance of meditating…

you are the hero of our generation, do whatever you do. hope nothing and nobody can stop you.

your good ol fan

Both podcasts were incredible my friend. Listening to Josh go through his story and how he does his daily activities was amazing. Short creative bursts are absolute genius! Who would have thought that was the way to do things. As always, Mr. Rose did not disappoint. Sorry, I couldn’t comment on shitty ass iTunes… which I would not use as a source of information for customer development.

Seriously dude. I just wanted to download the .mp3 and get on with my life without dealing with the iTunes nonsense [which is unfortunately going to keep me from listening today]
