What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Consistently great show on tech, especially AI. Alex is dialed in and gets some prime interviews, like Greg Brockman (excellent convo). Mondays with Ranjan are a must watch/listen. Alex does ask people hard questions, he just isn’t a jerk about it. Highly recommend if you’re in the tech world.

Love the show. One of my top three weekly listens. The conversational yet sophisticated approach is perfect (with just the right dose of humor), especially added to the balanced skepticism and devils advocacy. Keep ‘em coming!

Trying to use public transport · May 2026

Informative and fun The banter between you guys is the best. My favorite Tech Podcast. Ranjan’s skepticism is refreshing

Manbirms · May 2026

This podcast isn’t perfect, but i’ve been listening for about a year, and i’m glad about it. I like Alex, and the episodes with Ranjan are very fun. I just like AI, i like the story, and this podcast lets me follow the story i love in a way that enriches my life. 5 stars because i think you should listen
