  • Barry Diller

    Very insightful interview with Barry Diller. My impression was that Dylan may have been somewhat surprised by Barry’s response to some of his questions. With that said, overall terrific pod.

  • New essential listen

    Dylan has some real mic skills, drops great insider intel (as an extension of his terrific newsletter reporting), and has the Rolodex to book interesting, unexpected guests. Unlike other lesser Puck-to-pod brand extensions, this one is really working and becoming an essential listen.

  • Too much suffering of fools

    Too often a vip is allowed to bloviate and make idiotic pronouncements way outside of their area of expertise, and sometimes within their area of expertise. It was useful, though, to see how intellectually limited and banal some of these movers and shakers are, when they are given an opportunity to go on and on with no push back. A sharp, interesting, curious mind is obviously not the secret to this kind of success. Didn’t get much out of this podcast. I enjoy Dylan on other people’s podcasts.

  • Great Interviewer

    So glad Dylan is doing his own media focused show. He’s a great interviewer with deep knowledge and sources in media. I appreciate that he interviewed Jeremy Boreing at all. And on top of that the interview was a genuine interview designed to enable listeners to learn more about a very successful media business.
