People love to bash Lex but he really is great. He consistently gets interesting guests and often understands something about the subject which is more than can be said for some other long-form podcasters. And I can tell he is improving as well.

Over the last 2 years, he's been bringing on fewer and fewer tech-related guests while injecting more and more of his own (often political) commentary into the podcasts rather than simply asking good questions. The podcast has gotten worse, not better (at least from the perspective of someone who just wants to hear insights from proven tech leaders).

I mostly agree. I started listening from the beginning and loved the deep leanring/CS/physicist/neuroscientist/philosopher guests.

I think he began running out of those people or just wanted to expand. Some of the new format guests are great, but I skip many episodes now, whereas before I enjoyed 99% of them.

Still, at its best it remains one of the most informative and insightful podcasts I know of, largely due to the guest expertise.

I only know him from clips, when he brought someone on that explained why January 6 was a crime, Lex immediately slumped back in his chair and pushed back with a non sequitur "the media has lied before".

Disappointing that the one guy everyone holds up as neutral, curious party is just another partisan.
