This Machine Kills - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Does a great service by going beyond critiquing the obvious stupidities such as crypto coins and NFTs, and examines the more insidious connections of surveillance technologies, automation, algorithmic discrimination, and finance capitalism. The hosts take time to fully unpack the ramifications of these connections, sometimes going deep into the weeds with a guest, and explore the dire consequences of things running unchecked.

Overall an interesting podcast but can be hard to follow since it’s somewhat rambly and unstructured. It can also be a bit unapproachable and hard to digest; most of the episodes seem geared toward people who have the same academic background as Jathan (host).

this pod is incredible. the perfect balance of intellectually informed and salt of the earth ways of speaking. ed’s intellectual and cultural understanding of issues is totally profound. jathan talks a lot (just responding to other reviews here) but what he has to say is significant and profound - not to mention absolutely hilarious. i love the tmk canon, chairman bezos, comrade graber, et al. still longing for the TMK x softbank futureware. hope it’s not vaporware. -jack jammer
