What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Just finished the Dr. David Fajgenbaum episode and… wow! What an extraordinary human being. Had tears in my eyes and butterflies in my stomach listening to how much “human good” AI is creating — thanks to people like you, enabling people like David. Refreshing to hear Possible’s focus on AI’s promise instead of playing defense.

Erin Quick · Oct 2025

I found this podcast through a recommendation from another podcast, and have listened to about 2 1/2 episodes. I really enjoyed the Mario B. episode. I know it is an older episode, but I was alarmed by some of the messages in the Mustafa Suleyman episode. I had a visceral reaction that I wanted to put in all caps: No! The loneliness epidemic that is largely caused by big tech will not be cured by big tech. Why do we have to keep learning this the hard way? I know that you are making an effort to talk about guard rails in every episode. I recommend that you seek out someone like Joanna Chiu, a journalist who writes about tech in China. I found out about her through following the writer Ruth Ben-Ghiat, who I also highly recommend. I will continue to listen to more of your podcasts.

Inspiring, hopeful, and a range of fascinating guests. I find myself being more excited about the potential technology can offer than the fearful doom and gloom of current media reporting. This is a much needed perspective in the tech innovation conversation.

gingermw · Nov 2023

I know next to nothing about Chat GPT, AI & am far from a techie but I love this show. We need more of these conversations in our everyday lives. I love that this podcast looks at the future with hope and not the doom and gloom we usually hear. Outside of Trevor Noah and Bryan Stevenson, I haven’t heard of most of these guests but they have all been fantastic and so interesting. Even though this is categorized as a “tech” podcast, I think it’s a lot more than that. It’s about the future, something that technology will undoubtedly play a large role in shaping, and what we can accomplish if we can get out of our own way as a society. To do this, we must learn to listen to different perspectives and work together to create a better future.

Kristie7275 · Apr 2023

Interesting subject matter but the male host is constantly moaning, maybe grunting while the guests are speaking. It’s so distracting that I couldn’t absorb the conversations. For a show that covers a lot of tech, one would think they’d utilize tools like the mute button for the mic track.
