“I’ve listened to 2 episodes recently (Rivian &Tubi) having worked in both the cable industry as well embedded software/silicon. I have to say I learned so much and got great insights into both companies whilst being entertained. The hour on the cross trainer just flies by 😁”

“Some good info but too many interviews that end up more like ads for company of the ceo being interviewed. Combined with advertisers like Schwab, you need to take everything with a grain of salt.”

“Idk what the exact issue is maybe it’s me. (It’s probably me) But Nilay sometimes mumbles or slurs his words slightly. And even when i have AirPods Pro in I struggle to know if he said “are” or “aren’t”, and similar but i know sometimes he says things as an aside kinda quickly and when he does...”Read full review »

“Nilay’s Podcast is great, and most importantly still is. In an era where insight can be formulaic and the product of aggressive internet induced conformity, decoder still has calm, thoughtful takes, and seeks to truly understand the world we live in”

“homie is the most thoughtful thinker in the game. he’s open minded and inspired/inspiring but also ruthlessly critical at the same time - you can tell he takes a lot of care and time to wrestle with that balance. all the vergecast folks do this too tho. anyways much love”

Can almost hear Nilay itching to ask more difficult questions. And then...”Read full review »

“In a sea of podcasts for the intersection of business and tech, this one stands out as one of the best. Nilay is one of the best journalist interviewers out there, at a time when many just lib softball questions and don’t press the issues at hand, he handles the job incredibly well.
I also like...”Read full review »
