The Lex Law of Podcasting: The informational content of an interview cannot surpass the knowledge base of the interviewer.
The Lex Fridman Podcast is great. It was originally called the AI podcast (or something) and some of the episodes does presuppose technical knowledge. (How rude!)
Long-form interview with interesting people holding specialized knowledge and expertly share it with you for hours.
Here’s a recent episode on DeekSeek (etc.) that is maybe not as fun if you don’t know the subject and really insightful if you do: DeepSeek, China, OpenAI, NVIDIA, xAI, TSMC, Stargate, and AI Megaclusters | Lex Fridman Podcast.
And here’s another lecture disguised as an interview (the best kind!) that does not presuppose any knowledge. Just an impressively high-quality 3.5 hour lecture: Vejas Liulevicius: Communism, Marxism, Nazism, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler | Lex Fridman Podcast #444.
