    Generic and Hype-y
    Most of the advice doesn’t hold up after the easy money stopped.

    GenAI and address human behavior/violence
    Excellent interview with Joon Park, thank you, your team at a16z is setting up a very important link between human behavior and generative AI, digital/interpretive behavioral modeling and other types of large language processing designs to close the gap between the vast complexity of neurobiological processes that leads to specific behavioral expressions and codifying and encapsulating that in a generative AI system, looking forward to more of those types of episodes that also address specific behavior such as violence and anger and aggression to highlight research teams around the world working on better understanding of how to intervene and treat aggressive behavior in order to create more peaceful individual and societal behavior.

    Always good, getting better!
    Love the three part series on the AI revolution. Just listed to the 2nd part (third not out yet) and the conversation form folks doing the work like Mira (OpenAI) and others from Roblox and Anthropic is great. Deeper is better and a series let’s you do that better than a single podcast.
  • Cowholla

  • Rocketscirick
    Fascinating podcast
    I’m amazed at how much I learn from this podcast and its breadth of subjects. I’m a long-time technologist from computing and aerospace domains, which are now so broad that it’s hard to wrap your mind around them. The recent “satellite economy” series particularly surprised me in the amount of depth brought to important aspect of the subject.

    Valuable, timely, repeatable
    @erdnomad I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years and they’re a part of my weekly rotation. Being a designer, strategist, and want to be entrepreneur in the technology space, information is currency. I keep myself informed, I keep clients informed, and I keep my mind sharp with the help of the a16Z podcast.

    As someone outside the tech industry but interested in developments, this podcast is a great window into what is happening. There is enough detail to develop understanding without knowing all the jargon. It helps me see into other industries and connect more dots.

    Excellent, bleeding-edge tech coverage
    Long-time listener and reader of a16z’s content and podcasts. I especially love those with “new economy” undertones, like electric airplanes, batteries, or ecologically-minded founders. Keep going!

    Really Good Insight
    Insight from the guests are really good all around. Very clear the topics are heavily focused on what the firm is interested in but that’s part of why one should listen.

In terms, it host a large collective of experts, innovators, operators, and investors into the show and cultivates holistic perspectives of the dynamics in the technology ecosystem.

  • zorbadgreek
    Mostly great
    Interesting perspectives and smart guests. If you’re in the tech startup space you’ll get a lot out of this podcast. Only complaint is that sometimes the topics the pod chooses seem to focus too much on what the fund wants to invest in.
  • N_ill_son
    Great podcat
    this podacats is just great. What I like about it the most is that they do not use termilogy thats too difficult ultimately feeding into the their whole public. Great work guys
  • Jon Tarrant

    Best podcast in this space
    This is the best podcast in the AI/web 3 space
  • sparky9987
    Insightful and entertaining
    Steph has great guests, does a great job of asking insightful questions , listens and assures that the audience is clear on what’s being discussed.
  • Jabil77
    Steph moves it from A to A+.
    The content is timely, relevant, educational, and difficult to obtain at this level of comprehensiveness and density anywhere else. The show is produced incredibly well - rather than single or simply sequential guest interviews, the dialogue is refactored around themes that Steph sets up and guides the listener through. And Steph is SO on point as a host. She drives a dialogue with the listener, and asks insightful questions that get to specific responses from guests. And she always has a technical and strategic understanding of the products/platforms or movements being discussed - she’s a true conversation partner and not a “podcast host.” Amazing!
  • mr_platypus
    This is simply the best tech podcast out there
    This podcast sources the best guests, and host Steph Smith does a great job of facilitating insightful discussions. It’s a must-listen for founders and anyone who wants to be on the bleeding edge of technology and important ideas shaping the world.
  • VIX737

  • AN123_DC
    Consistently Great
    Steph does an excellent job of bringing a wide range of emerging topics together. The podcast guests are leading innovators in their fields and the style is always easily consumed while provoking big thoughts. Highly recommend
  • upset883838
    Host voice irritating
    The host speaks too fast/anxiously, it makes listening a little challenging. Would prefer a slower, more straight to the point, deeper voice. Or not necessarily a change of host, but maybe some more public speaking training. Don’t want to hurt your feelings, just being real. Thanks!
  • manicupedicu
    Great show for cutting edge tech!
    Steph is a great host. Love the approachable way she talks with guests and how knowledgeable the convos are. Great way to keep up with the latest macro trends in a fast changing landscape !
  • Chris55710
    Favorite new pod
    This has become one of my favorite new podcasts. They find interesting founders and stories, and I always find little nuggets that make me think after the episode has ended. Love the industry insights as well.
  • Mmmmmmieieiejduhuunurnuf
    Consistently high-quality interviews
    I thought the previous host, Sonal, did a great job. Now Steph Smith is doing a great job as well. I really enjoy the thoughtful questions and insightful responses from interesting guests.
