Designer Notes is 'a podcast on why we make' in which Soren Johnson (known for being the lead designer on Civilisation IV at Firaxis and founding indie studio Mohawk Games) interviews various people from the games industry.

I've listened to many episodes of this podcast. I find it is a great place for finding new insights, getting inspired, and grounding the game making experience. Here, I will highlight some key episodes for me.
