Experimental Music Podcasts Update
Over the years, some podcasts shut down, but there are always more to be found, and some that I wonder how I could have missed them:
A Duck in a Tree
Made by ambient titans Zoviet*France, minimal, ambient, some sprinkles of non-western music, no talking.
http://zovietfrance.podbean.com
Vital Weekly
by fellow titan Frans de Waard, eclectic and sometimes wierd, but always highly interesting, no talking
http://www.vitalweekly.net
L’Expérimentale
GRM radio show by François Bonnet with electro-acoustic, electronic, improvised avant-garde music, some talking (french).
https://www.francemusique.fr/emissions/l-experimentale
Indiedrome
Philippe Petit changed name and station of his art rock/improvised/neoclassical podcast BipHop Generation, minimal talking (french).

Podcasts about science and art
Non-music podcasts to keep up to date and to amaze yourself about science, technology, and art. A slight deviation from the series of posts with podcast tips about interesting music podcasts, essential listening podcasts, experimental music, or unmissable podcasts about the history of technology and music,
Sur les épaules de Darwin (France Inter, french)
The most fascinating, marvellous, and often mind-boggling podcast about everything touching on life: Evolution, cognitive science, anthropology, language, art, music, neuroscience, ethology, philosophy… Jean-Claude Ameisen combines scientific rigour (often, the cited articles are just out in Nature or Science) with a deep-felt humanism and sense for art and philosophy.
Forschung Aktuell, Wissenschaft im Brennpunkt (Deutschlandfunk, german)
Science journalism at its best, with the daily Forschung Aktuell, and the weekly background research in Wissenschaft im Brennpunkt.
Creative Disturbance (english mostly, with other languages)
Art–Science podcast with several sub-series, sometimes interesting but quite uneven quality.
