Transistor Radio

A delightfully casual (and free) podcast by the semiconductor mavens at SemiAnalysis, occasionally co-hosted by professional podcaster friend Jordan Schneider. Typical topics cover semiconductor manufacturing and research, AI model progress, support infrastructure for high-tech industry build-out, and the technological struggle between leaders in these fields. Features disarmingly casual personal moments that provide insights into the hosts’ personal routines and fascination with zeitgeist curios such as personal massagers.

Needs polish for it to really shine. Good material, the hosts are clearly knowledgeable about the material but it’s difficult to listen to them ramble completely unrehearsed. They can’t even seem to decide who’s supposed to talk.
