“Comparing Israel’s war with Hamas to Vietnam is wrong on almost all counts. The trigger for the war (Cold War vs. savage terrorist attack), the proximity of the war to the civilians of the US versus Israel (far away versus on the border), the ratio of militants killed to civilians killed (2x1 or...”Read full review »

“Used to be great. Not anymore. When talking about startups and business they are really interesting and expert. Fell into the trap of thinking that makes them expert on any topic, which clearly isn’t the case. Then got way too political. I don’t listen any more. Not worth the time like it was...”Read full review »

“Used to be great. 4 friends sharing their perspective on various events during the COVID crisis, no ego, no agenda. Now their egos are huge, all of them are busy and, therefore, frequently comment on topics that they haven’t researched well. It’s sad because they used to be so good. I still...”Read full review »

“It’s a good podcast with good ideas thrown around and some intellectual heft despite the tech bro vibes. The thing that is becoming disappointing is the increasing punditry— saying one thing one week and the opposite the next. I get that they’re giving “hot takes” in the moment but just have some...”Read full review »

Every issue has multiple variables and these guys have gotten lazy.

“I really like this podcast…Glad to see some are coming around to the horrific policies being implemented by the current administration and how they are gaslighting the country. Would love to hear more on the free speech issue and how tech is reacting to the Murthy v US case.”

Not as fact-based or research based as some others, but it’s VERY contemporary and very candid.
