Gold(or should I say Bitcoin)-mine
If you’re looking for compelling storytelling at its finest, Acquired is the perfect podcast for you. Ben and David guide you through company histories as if the founders are protagonists in a world where odds are perpetually stacked against them. Just when you though there’s no escaping the new existential threat this time, they somehow manage to preserve. Only through meticulous research and raw excitement could one tell an 8 hour saga about Berkshire Hathaway, a 4.5 hour dive into the long-standing legacy of Standard Oil, or my personal favorite, an exploration of the mysterious and antiestablishment origins of Bitcoin. These guys are truly world class and have expanded my knowledge about startup culture, venture capital terms and society wide tech trends. Thank you for turning daily routes like washing the dishes into something I yearn for.

More reviews of Acquired
I absolutely love this podcast. They cover a topic area that I don't hear discussed in any other podcast--tech acquisitions. They make a topic you might not think is super compelling into full episodes that I can't wait to listen to whenever they come out.Read full review »

I recently started listening to acquired and really enjoy it so far. The conversation is great and I like their takes too. Also the notes and resource section is awesome.
