  • Devolved into conservative propaganda

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, and it’s often been full of really great content for someone who works in cutting edge tech.

    Lately, however it has become more and more clear that Tseng just wants to platform conservative mouthpieces who are spewing propaganda, rather than caring about moving a technology ecosystem forward. The latest NASA/Artemis episode was trash. Useless propaganda.

  • Dunning Kruger

    When the topic is new media it’s painful to hear billionaires deceptively talk their book, and abuse media theory concepts like “availability cascades” while pretending to be populists.

  • Occasionally good

    A16Z often has great tech related guests and fairly good interviewers, but sometimes the audio quality is horrible. For example, the recent Balaji episode from April 22nd is unlistenable.

  • I was listening to recent a16z podcasts in the mornings in recent several weeks , it's an awesome podcast in general, and it’s amusing to listen to Silicon Valley formally articulate important tech trends. It is indeed an invaluable source of insights for anyone related to the tech industry. Highly recommended.

  • Sonal Says Yes Too Much!

    On the episode with Sonal as host he interrupts the guest who is talking about Waymo constantly throughout the show. He has also done this in the past on previous episodes. It makes it very difficult to focus on what the guest is saying. I couldn’t sit through the whole episode to be honest.
