“Get a lot of data, like Skynet . That worked out well, didn’t it?
Jacob gets so many things wrong (SBF, for instance, but to his credit he admitted it and did a good self-analysis). Unhedged is just awful, and anyone promoting it probably doesn’t have a good grasp on reality. Unfortunately,...”Read full review »

“Latest episode is completely not fit for listening. Narration is barely audible. Music is super loud at times. Interview is two different volumes for the two sides. Get a decent sound editor and QA your episodes before publishing.”

“It’s one thing to pause the guest and re-explain a concept to the audience… but Jacob overdoes it and it comes of as rude. This is one of my favorite shows, but the last episodes nearly turned me off because he does it so often.”

“First, I actually really enjoy the host and the content, but the ads are so bad that I’m giving it only 2 stars. Content-wise, it’s easily 5 stars. But the ads are as bad as old school TV ads, where abruptly the volume increases 10x and it’s aggressively in your face. And the ads have gotten...”Read full review »

Perfect length of 30 mins gives him time to interview his guests about the big problem they’re trying to fix. Similar to How I Built This but about things...”Read full review »
