Inside the Hive - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Big fan of the show, Mr Seltzer is a thoughtful host, I tend to get something out of each episode, a new data point to argue out in my head as I do dishes, etc. todays episode with Roger Mcnamee has taken this next level, I have stopped and rewound and listened and then stopped, rewound again, and gave it a third listen, McNamee makes a compelling argument and on a topic I was so sure I had fairly strong, clear ideas about. AI as a model of how the tech economy’s push for monopolistic power and in doing so, fails to create a technology that can add value, as opposed to profiting at the expense of the users. It’s very Victorian, I sort of didn’t even realize that I have been blindly presuming the value of ai was just unclear to me, that it would soon be obvious. Anyway, wow, great guest great episode. It’s so refreshing to hear McNamee’s take, he’s def left me with a new perspective. Bravo!

Excellent choice of guest giving practical insights into government - good & bad. Brian Steltser is a great host . Poses excellent thoughtful questions And gives guest plenty time to answer.

If you need to be convinced to subscribe to this podcast, listen to the episode with Nate Silver. Brian kept the pace going very nicely by asking many great questions. Brian is a rare talent that ought to be recognized more. Thanks, Brian, and keep up the great work.

I think this show has become really fascinating. Every week i hear about a new concept/perspective I hadn’t considered. Thanks to the staff for thinking outside the box when putting the content together- very intellectually stimulating!

Very disconcerting to hear this so guest generalize about how “resilient” the Columbine kids were after the tragedy. Talk to, listen to, and review the research on the PTSD, trauma, depression experienced in the months, years, and now a quarter century later, by many of the students and teachers who were there, as well as the secondary survivors such as parents and siblings. Gut wrenching.
