One useful thing about the incredible number of podcasts that I've only recently discovered is that you can often find in depth interviews with relatively obscure people or about niche subjects which contain a ton of information that's hard to come by other places.

For instance, a couple weeks ago I was listening to an 20+ year old album I've always loved that doesn't get much attention. I searched in Spotify and sure enough I found a podcast that was doing a multi-hour series just on that album and broke down its history, production, etc.

Another example is that yesterday I was out training for a race I'm running in a couple months and managed to find multiple interviews with the race director, past winners, etc. to put me in a great mindset for a tough day training.

You just input the name of those persons on the spotify search and you find the podcasts?

Yep, that's typically what I do. Often takes a bit of filtering to find the signal in the noise, but that of course depends on how common the name is.
