  • Easily the best AI podcast for me

    This is a fantastic podcast. It’s always to the point, well researched, and concise. It’s not full of rhetoric. It informs me around categories I do know while regularly pushing my limits and challenging me to learn more. It’s not so deep and technical that I get lost but neither is it so high level that there’s no meat. Well done!

    I recommend it to everyone.

  • Love the show, hate the ads

    I love this show and listen to it every day. So much so that I decided to subscribe to the premier version with the hope that it would get rid of ads. However, this did not happen. I paid for the full year but I still get the same ads I got before. Hope this gets addressed asap.

  • Paid Version Still Full of Ads

    Paid for the subscription. Still have the full block of ads between headlines and main episode. Still have the pre-amble about the sponsors of today’s show. What was I paying to remove?
