TmerkTwo words: ECHO CHAMBERI appreciate the discussion and willingness to dive in on tough and touchy topics, but wow. A few recent episodes have shown what an echo chamber the podcast and hosts are. Specifically, the episode about new weight loss drugs was incredibly narrow and fear-mongering; presenting a very one-sided view about the dangers of extra weight. Instead of coming across as sincerely caring, they continued present a one-sided view and their tendency for confirmation bias. Not to mention the increase in prevalent of eating disorders and disordered eating, in people of every size. As a person recovering from such things, this episode was massively out of touch, dangerous, and triggering.

GtbmedGreat business insight, but I finally had to drop itI had enjoyed the show and how the hosts would have some excellent insights into business and markets. However, the narrowness of their understanding finally got to me with how they approached other topics. The following examples stood out to me. The inability to understand the chip blockade of China and using the dumb Iranian drones as an example of why we should keep selling advanced chips to China because it wouldn’t affect security concerns made me actually yell “that’s not how that works you idiot” out loud while driving to work. Then a later discussion about demographics and suggested policies showed a complete lack of awareness of the current realities. Affordable child care will not matter if you don’t have enough people of the right age to have children. Also, no talk of how industrialization led to lower birth rates. I mean they even had Ravi on for these discussions. I guess this kind of shortsightedness explains why MBAs have been great for cutting company costs in the short term, but failing to be ready long term. C’mon HBS.

Filly Bu$terVery InterestingWhen is Youngme coming back? I appreciate the guest hosts esp the ones who are on the younger side.

smolpepehighlight of my work weeki’m a big fan of after hours and have been listening for years. the discussions on this podcast tend to walk that fine line of being accessible without sacrificing depth or circumspection. i do have one quibble: the lineup often has a guest spot post-youngme’s departure, and these guests are quite hit or miss. for fewer misses, i would ask that the hosts vary their choice of guest more and lean away from repeat guests that dilute the discussion with more frivolous contributions. (e.g., the discussion of LDIs being met with “ew the bond market!” from the bloomberg opinion columnist...in fact, that guest’s frequent silly takes and clear discomfort with any topics more substantial than elon-mania or lean in make me consciously skip episodes that feature her) anyway, keep up the good work!

bflockLove the show, but…Found the final comments on the most recent episode about OpenAI a little out of touch. The idea that ChatGPT was not born of the biggest players in tech is a bit revisionist. The AI transformer model was originally developed by Google, and Microsoft has made a significant investment in the company. So, it’s not quite the scrappy upstart without access to big resources.

sarahrrrrrrrBrilliant, brilliant brilliant!!Thank you so much for keeping our minds working and your intelligent and witty banter that I look forward to every week!

yvonneguyihonhAwesome podcastOne of my favorite podcasts and I look forward to listening to it every Wednesday going into work. Topics are all over the board, which is interesting, even touch upon some areas I have very little knowledge about. For the topics I am familiar with, I found myself talking along as if I am joining the conversation! And I love all the picks at the end of the show.

RzaryanGreat show but stop featuring Adam grantLove the show and enjoy the fun vibe they add to business topics. But they need to cut out the Adam Grant advertisements in the intro. After hours is fun because it feels unscripted and authentic. Adam Grant is the opposite — rehearsed and synthetic.
-
GabrieldeoGreat podcast, bad long adsWhat’s up with a 3 min ad for a new podcast? No thank you.

notAfan98Bring back Youngme MoonIs it just me or has the quality of the discussion declined without YM? This used to be a must listen show for me where YM’s provocative questions or framing could turn any subject on his head. Now the discussion has become very conventional and the subjects uninteresting. Would love to hear about what the team thinks about how Twitter can be revitalized or how the McKinsey culture lead to it marketing dangerous drugs for Purdue pharmaceuticals. Bring YM back and do some real and rigorous analysis.

GlleeeConsistently Great PodLove the banter and informative info. My favorite part is the recommendations at the end. The personal finance episode was fantastic, I’d love to see more content like that! Actionable advice for your average consumer.

暴躁到想打人Can more details be added in description?I love every episode of After Hours. I found it very helpful to have a more detailed description of the recommendations. It’s easier to check out those fantastic recommendations. Previous you can even find links to those books, musics, websites…could you add that feature back? Thanks a lot!

Brigitta PThought provoking!An exceptional cast who bring the listener to the table. This podcast offers an in depth analysis within the exciting world of business. The topics are thought provoking and keep you thinking long after post credits of the podcast. Thank you so much to Felix, Mihir and Youngme. You inspire us!
-
grclalaThe show needs YoungmeFelix is great with offering an unique angle on opinions or topics, however, without Youngme, the show lacks balance in practicality vs. textbook; the latter is more obtainable while Youngme brings in the former. I would rate 5 with Youngme and 3 without.

acajoeBabyOTakis Fuego!5 stars for recommending takis, best shout out in the last 3 years as listener! Keep up the good work

BTO205Where is YoungMe?I love the show and the substitutes are fine but I miss YMM.

texasfan11Bring back Youngme!Loved this podcast when Youngme was a host. Without her, the show seems to lack knowledge on products that the other hosts should know but don’t. She brought the most valuable insight to the table.
-
Jill CFantastic!Glad to see that the podcast has resumed. Love the show, just wish that the episodes were longer! Interesting conversations, very likable hosts with a great chemistry.

This KenPretend business professorsWhat kind of a business professor would have a fantasy about taking control of a business and then shrinking or eliminating it. Any business that would allow such an idiot control deserves to go under and be replaced with competent competition. Any business professor who thinks business drives demand for long established products instead of demand driving business decisions to produce is not fit to call himself a business professor or to be hired by any credible business school.

Deanster1394!New Favorite Podcast!I found out about this podcast just a week ago and I’ve binged the majority of 2021s episodes. I love the banter between the three hosts and how they mix interesting business topics with humor and culture. I also appreciate the recommendations at the end. My favorite episode has of course been the predictions for 2022.

anniesyLove this podcast!This is one of only a few podcasts that I listen to every week and I look forward to each new episode. The conversations Youngme, Mihir and Felix have are timely, educational, thoughtful and fun! Great topics and I absolutely love the picks!!

KaiserBeckThe smartest 30 min of my weekA brilliant show made by brilliant people. I love the chemistry between the hosts as much as I appreciate their insights into the topics they discuss. Without fail, their comments will expand my perspective and work their way into my conversations with friends.

04RyExcellentWhat fun!

jfvfhkbsebbWhy is no one talking about this show???!I listen to a lot of podcasts but came upon this one very randomly when I searched “Peleton”. I not only listened to the episode that the search provided, but ended up bingeing severe episodes in one night. The banter between the hosts, the wit, the insight, the culture…I love it all!! Please keep it up!

elgodseyHands down the best podcast streaming.Hands down the best podcast streaming. My whole family enjoys listening.

QuoloradoPure tinned fish!!!!I look forward to the thoughtful discussion every week and have listened for years without disappointment. The analysis is first rate but stay tuned for the recommendations! Youngme’s new love of F1, Mihir’s hack of reselling Legos on eBay, and Felix’s love of obscure music deeply enrich my life - polka excluded. Keep up the great work After Hours!
-
DimateGood fun but one sidedI enjoy most of the discussion by the intelligent and knowledgeable hosts but sometime the dialog strikes me as superficial. For instance, today’s conversation about threat of a long term inflation failed to mention a very key element of the situation: that unlike in the 70s the Fed would be hesitant to raise rates aggressively because US national debt is so much higher now and with higher rates a much higher share of federal spend (up to 30%) would have to go to the debt service.

rbongniLove itMy favorite podcast. Very informative, entertaining and the hosts have a great dynamic together.

-
MYOLWe missed the three of you!At long last, you are back! Still so observant, analytical, insightful with a good dose of wit and never-take-yourself-too-seriously. Do keep going. Your podcast was my few minutes of sanity and intelligent conversation. We have not had much of that in the last four years from the loudmouths out there. Love the other socio-cultural aspects of our lives.
-
Eric JudeGreat conversationThis show makes me feel like I’m having a conversation with friends. Such a relaxed and informative format that allows me to understand their perspective on a wide range of important topics. Love listening. Also, I love the recommendations!
-
SshefChina insights but not track fansGreat start to new season. The dual perspective on China was insightful. Closing private schools is a long term solution to slow out migration of talent Disappointed that no one appreciated the generation setting performances in track and field. A great history continued at the core event
-
W BezzyTop Five Podcast for meThe explanation of the subjects just draw you in. I feel like we all grow better one nod at a time because after this conversation, action happens.
-
howehillThoughtful discussionIs it possible today to hear a diversity of views about important business topics? Yes. This podcast offers intelligent discussion where one can agree and disagree but always learn. Refreshing.

ChasedoneSo interesting!I love that the topics are so diverse! I don’t know a podcast where I just listen and learn or am exposed to stuff I didn’t know about!!!!

Former fan of showAsian hateWhy haven’t you covered this topic given your ancestry?

KanarpskiTerrifying Out if TouchConsidering the power these people have to shape the business world, they are terrifyingly out of touch with the powerlessness and desperation of so many ordinary workers. I listened to this for a long time because I like hearing different perspectives. But the “unions are failing because companies like Amazon just treat their workers *really* well” episode was a step to far. That’s just delusion and dangerous. I’m not listening to propaganda.
