The Knowledge Project is a podcast hosted by Shane Parrish (entrepreneur, investor, speaker and author) that uncovers the timeless principles that drive success. It publishes weekly by median gap, though the feed shows 8 episodes in the last 90 days as of October 2026, and episodes usually run about 68 minutes.
The show's stated goal is to master the best of what other people have already figured out. Each episode is a long conversation with a guest, and the show sits alongside Shane Parrish's fs.blog newsletter and books.
Recent episodes include real estate broker Ryan Serhant on how to get people to say yes, a previously unreleased 2022 interview between Charlie Munger and Todd Combs, Bill Ackman, Shopify's Tobi Lütke on the skills AI makes more valuable, and an episode on the 12 years that changed Steve Jobs. The feed holds 291 episodes going back to April 2015.
Our take: listeners who like long conversations about decision-making, investing, leadership and learning, and who prefer depth over a news cycle. The feed has fewer episodes per month than the daily shows on this list.
