  • Seriously Keith Rabois

    This would be a 6 star podcast if we didn’t have to listen to this d-bag. 5 minutes and I need to hose off the slime. I wonder how many times he is named in the Epstein files.

  • No longer objective or factual

    Quite shocking the lack of intelligent rigor in interviews and episodes are declining factual evidence. Such a respected organization that appears to be declining in integrity in terms of vetting guest or even having robust data backed in conversations. I do hope someone will take this podcast seriously and give this show a chance.
