The Next Billion Seconds with Mark Pesce

This podcast is phenomenally well done. The music in particular—it’s appropriate without drowning out the speech as often happens. I can’t praise the production highly enough, from the point of view of the material presented but in particular regarding the way it’s presented. Well done!

The content is interesting but the delivery is very jarring. I’m not sure exactly what it is that’s so irksome; mostly I think its that there’s a whiff of smugness to the delivery. Turn the volume down a bit people. Less certitude and more humility would endear you more to your audience.

Listened after being recommended. So many incorrect statements A Genesis does not charge at 350kw. The limitation is at the car and rates drop as cars charge. The car is not capable of getting anywhere near 350kw. It’s ~230kw and not for the entire charge. Battery swaps! Really Sally. Forget the servo fast charge/swap model. The vast majority are home charging which is far more convenient. People will adapt to a 20min charge. Get over it. Charging off a 10A kitchen outlet even if you are limited to 8A 1.8kw not 1.3. Basic maths here 230v*8

Interesting topics and insights pretty much always and as a tech and future enthusiast, this podcast is bang on - and even better it’s locally made and relevant to Australia by an adopted Aussie. Well done Mark and team, keep it coming!
