• Investors at JetBlue Ventures, Mighty Capital, and other VC firms shared their favorite podcasts.

• They include "All-In" with Chamath Palihapitiya and "The Future of Everything" by the WSJ.

• Another recommendation is "Origins" by partners at the biotech VC firm Notation Capital.

Global venture-capital funding in 2022 may have dipped 35% from 2021, according to a report by analytics company CB Insights, but VCs are still eager to make deals.

It's a tough market right now, though, and investors need reliable insights, news, and information to spot opportunities and avoid making the wrong moves.

Podcasts can help. Here are 11 great options, recommended by VCs,  founders, CEOs, and other industry insiders.

1. 'The Full Ratchet' with Nick Moran

Steve Taub, the managing director of investments at JetBlue Ventures, JetBlue Airways' VC firm that's invested in startups like Joby and Flyr Labs, said he likes "The Full Ratchet" because it "demystifies" the VC world. The podcast's host, Nick Moran — the founder and general partner of New Stack Ventures — has interviewed VCs and startup founders like Mark Suster, Eric Paley, and Joanne Wilson on how they build great companies.

"Moran often has interesting guest interviews, and I like the short 'investor stories' about lessons learned and unusual situations," Taub said. "I like that they're brief so I can listen to them when I don't have time for a full interview."

2. 'Catalyst' with Shayle Kann 

Taub is also a fan of "Catalyst," which interviews investors, researchers, and executives knowledgeable about the world of climate tech.

While this isn't a strictly VC-focused podcast, the host, Shayle Kann, is a partner at Energy Impact Partners and leads EIP's investments at the frontier of climate tech, so the show covers timely topics in the climate-tech space.

Taub told Insider he listens to "Catalyst" because the threat of climate change — and humanity's response to it — is among the defining issues of the 21st century. "It will shape almost every aspect of our society and economy, so it's creating enormous opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurs," Taub said. "I think Kann does a great job of finding people with interesting ideas in the space, and he teases out the real challenges they need to overcome to be successful, so it's not just cheerleading."
