  • Good as Gold!

    Andrew Gold has built one of the most honest interview podcasts around. Sharp questions, real preparation, genuine humour, and no obvious agenda except saying what a lot of people already think. Brave, consistent and enjoyable - Thanks Andrew! You provide a much needed repository to help us all make sense of the madness ;-)

  • Interesting

    I just discovered this podcast and enjoy the host’s calm, intelligent demeanor. He really lets the guests express their thoughts and I find this interesting as I find some of his guests views difficult to get onboard with but I would like to understand how they got there.

  • Love Vanessa

    Yep like one of the other listeners I am now unfollowing based on Andrew’s comment about losing a job based on the fact he’s a white man. Deep unrelenting sigh. Get a grip. If there was always equality this would never be an issue. Also dislike views on trans. I’m off

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Followed the Money Behind The Protests. It Led to 1 Man – Nate Friedman
Q: What implications do these funding networks have for public perception and policy?
The guest argues that funding and media strategy aim to shift public opinion and promote certain political outcomes, including the rise of charismatic but polarizing figures, while stressing the need for critical examination of how protests are organized and funded.
I Followed the Money Behind The Protests. It Led to 1 Man – Nate Friedman
Q: How does the funding translate into on-the-ground protests and interviews?
Paid protesters are deployed to influence turnout and interview dynamics, while leaders may be paid; ordinary participants often join due to organizational backing, and the money flows through intermediaries to create a large, consistent presence at protests.
I Followed the Money Behind The Protests. It Led to 1 Man – Nate Friedman
Q: What is the scale of the money behind the protests, and who is funding it?
The guest explains a system where a secret billionaire funds protests through fiscal sponsorship chains, with entities like Within Our Lifetime connected to broader funders such as the Open Society Foundation and Soros, and later highlighting a prominent figure named Neville Roy Singham as a major funder.
I Give Humanity a 1% Chance of Survival - AI Expert Dr Roman Yampolskiy
Q: Can anything be done to prevent an uncontrolled outcome as AI progresses?
Yes, but it requires coordinated, global action on pause or tight safety protocols, transparent governance, robust safety research, and a public understanding of the stakes; relying on individual labs or a few nations to act independently is unlikely to be sufficient without broad consensus.
I Give Humanity a 1% Chance of Survival - AI Expert Dr Roman Yampolskiy
Q: Is there a timeframe within which we should be particularly worried about achieving human-level or superintelligent AI?
There is no fixed deadline; the trajectory suggests rapid improvement could occur within a few years to a couple of decades, but predicting exact timing is highly uncertain, and many models could become self-improving quickly once a certain threshold is crossed, making governance and safety measures urgent.
