What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Peter is a great interviewer, and honestly has access to the centroid of SV, its such fun to listen in on what seasoned elites are conversating about with the up and coming accelerationists My only suggestion is to bring Salim on for every episode as an official co-host. His episodes are always the best. Peter and him have great banter / rapport and he asks great questions to other guests. Such a reliably fun show. Many thanks Peter for sharing these conversations. Love the ongoing optimism, we need so much more of that in this world.

The first thing I want to say is “I love you, guys!” I was listening to you on my morning walk which became so energized it spontaneously transformed into a 3-mile run… Indeed, what could be best than a moonshot in the early morning, while being bathed by the first rays of the sun? I was still in for a surprise… I truly appreciate the passion in your voice AND the call for passion that is at the core of your message. Yes, I am 66 years young going on 5 and I have a fire in my belly that makes me do all I can to support my body wholeheartedly. Exercise, sleep, nutrition, hygiene: here I come! I want and choose to stay here and contribute my gifts towards the phenomenal unfolding of the next six decades (at the least). Thus the preciousness of the information you shared. Besides your enthusiasm, two things impacted me: your definition of dynamics (or “power”)… Strength, Stamina, Agility, Flexibility and Balance. Brilliant! It led me to increase my stretching routine starting today! Also, the possibility of exosomes as a more cost-effective alternative to stem cells. Altogether, THANK YOU! I really am grateful to know that you exist and to learn from you!

Episode with David Sinclair was truly inspiring and changed my mindset about aging. What an opportunity for public health.

I love this podcast. On the surface, it’s about tech, science, and innovation. It’s smart and inspiring. It shows, via conversations between the host and guests, how the future can be better than the past - it just takes ambition, skill, and the ability to think big. Beneath the surface, it’s a critique of our entire society: instead of fighting, we should be building. The host is a rockstar, as is every guest. There are a couple of tiny things that could improve. 1. The intro music is terrible and weirdly gets louder than the actual show (I need to adjust the volume just for the intro). I’m not picky about these things- I like the intro music featured in every other podcast I’ve ever heard (dozens of them). 2. Peter is a serial interrupter. He even interrupts his own points. Sometimes this helps to get the conversation back on track, but sometimes it kills some very interesting buds of discussion. The episode with Balaji was my favorite and my least favorite at the same time. The conversation was fascinating, but thanks to Peter’s focus on staying the course, I will never know why he “would rather put a gun to my head” than head NASA, nor will I find out why Balaji doesn’t believe in cryonics. He kept interrupting about “but I want to talk about…” but why is your list of preset questions more important than what the guest wants to talk about? (This critique is especially true of the earlier episodes, and I think it’s gotten better.) In this regard, I think Peter can learn from Lex Fridman, who just lets the conversation flow- and if he really wants to get to a question, he just lets the episode take longer than usual so he can get at it. Still, I highly recommend! Thanks for making this, Peter! Hersh

QuestioningPerfectionist · Jan 2023

Peter’s optimism about solving world problems is very inspiring despite the sort of Multi Level Marketing feel to much of what he puts out. Peter is doing a lot of great work, without a doubt. I was as excited as all heck to see this new podcast but made the mistake of listening to the Musk interview first. Based on that and part of the Tony Robbins episode I am not ready to give this 4 stars. I’ll listen to the rest and update my rating. The Musk interview was on the level of two college students who are very stoned. The kissing up to Elon was disgusting. As I said I admire what Peter has done in the last decade. I’ll revise my rating if warranted.
