  • Way to many sponsors

    I had to stop listening because it feels like there are more sponsors than content. Too bad, it looked like an interesting podcast. I support sponsoring, but there is a limit.

  • Let the guests talk!

    The guests this podcast gets are great. Unfortunately, the host of this show wants so desperately to show the guests (who have real AI credits) how much he knows about AI that he ends up talking for 2/3rds of the podcast, leaving his poor guests with not much to do but stammer out a polite “yea” every now and then. A typical show will go off the rails with the host pontificating at length about some topic he thinks he can sound smart about or trying tp relate everything back to his own experien... more

  • Great content, faulty production

    I’m not in the industry, simply curious to understand our future. The technical stuff goes over my head sometimes but there’s so much else here for anyone contemplating these seismic shifts we’re entering. Audio for Nathan was great but it was awful for the guy asking questions. I was stunned when the interviewer mentioned that his business was podcasting production.
