I don't like Lex Fridman's podcasts because his interviews are way too long and he cannot and does not want to keep them concise. Interviews are no different from books in that respect, length does not equate to depth. On the contrary, the short ones are usually the gems. There is nothing worse than university professors and billionaires talking for hours about things they don't have much insightful to say about instead of talking for half an hour about the things they know best.
- nomel 5y agoI like his interviews because they're long, and it lets me see the the perspective on things outside of the normal boxes the guests get put into, like machine learning guest = talk of research from latest paper only. I can always find another podcast (often duplicates), or even a news interview, where the guests stay within, and quickly burn through, their area of expertise. I like understanding the guest just as much as their day job.
