  • Exploring the effects of new technology

    It’s an interesting and engaging podcast. I like how the host explains each episode’s topic and explores the pros and cons of a new technology. It’s never really one-sided, but he does come up with a conclusion in the end. I highly recommend to give this podcast a listen

  • TOO MANY SOUND EFFECTS 😡

    This podcast used to be pretty interesting. Now is choppy narration with a sound effect for every other thing they say. Extremely distracting, not good for working. If this is their new podcasting mode, you lost a subscriber!

Are Sports the Most Valuable Commodity in the World? with Pablo Torre
Q: Can you tell me a little bit why you stepped away from that? And also just like what this pressure feels like to have this industry which is playing a real role in the actual sports?
Pablo Torre discusses his experience working in sports media, highlighting the potential conflicts of interest that arise from partnerships with gambling companies. He shares that despite no direct interference from DraftKings, the nature of his investigative journalism felt misaligned with sports betting, leading him to seek new partnerships that align more closely with his work.
The Internet Is a Misery Machine with Hank Green
Q: What is your conceptualization of the internet now versus in the past?
