Great host. Great guests. Great talks.

Branding and running tech/business podcasts are quite tricky, as most of them sound alike and have similar guests.

a16z Podcast stands out with its wonderful host, reputable guests, and insights from industry experts. Thanks for sharing it!

Very informative

I’ve only listened to a few episodes, but I’m very surprised there are no reviews. A few of my coworkers both enjoy listening to this podcast and I decided to give it a try. The audio quality is great so far and the guest speakers are very well-spoken and amazing people. I’m learning a lot.

They really need an outro though! After every episode I sit and wait for a few seconds wondering if there were technical difficulties, only to realize it had finished.
