Ask HN: Has Mixergy jumped the shark?
Mixergy used to be a "must listen" podcast in which you got to hear the inside story behind the startups and their founders who you had heard of through the tech news sites. These days Mixergy seems to be doing lots of shows on self-help and ra-ra salespeople and conference evangelists and interviewing founders who I have never heard of from companies that I have never heard of, companies that operate in non-technology industries that I have no interest in.
Does anyone else feel that Mixergy has lost its way? That it has lost its focus on interviewing founders with public profile from technology companies that are known for some reason?
- pknight 14y agoYou are arguing for having a very narrow selection of people to be interviewed, don't you think that stunts your knowledge if all you would read/listen about is people in popular tech start-ups? Entrepreneurship is so broad, I love the diversity of people on Mixergy and I get inspiration from the most unlikely guests (whom I've never heard of). If you really want to listen to people you have already heard of, it's damn easy to pick and choose from the interviews...so my question is, what's the intent behind this submission?
