I agree, I recently found out about Lex Fridman [0] podcast and I am very satisfied with the experts in their field expressing their history and opinions, kinda reminds me of old TED... :)

Huh, I wonder if podcasts ate TED and TEDx talks' lunch. They can cover anything TED would, plus you get recurring hosts with fun personalities.

To me it's been clear that the TED talk format favors good presentation skills above anything else. And I feel it's impossible for the audience to tell if an idea really matters given such a short delivery.

It's much harder to bullshit your way through a 1-2 hour long podcast conducted by a knowledgeable host.

A great take, in one line... ;)
