More from the comments

Daniel Ellsberg was interviewed on the awesome 80,000 Hours podcast. Great to listen to:

The 80k Hours podcast does a fantastic job at this, providing a full transcript, a summary of the key points, and a time-indexed table of contents.

The 80,000 hours podcast probably had the largest intellectual impact on me of any media in 2019
