People vs Algorithms

Love this show, it hits a real sweet spot for me between the evolution of digital media and publishing, product, advertising and new technology and its potential impact but with a more wide angle lens looking at more subjects and interesting points of view on some of what’s happening in the world. Love the hosts, love their dynamic and their individual viewpoints on the same issues. Keep going with more of the same!

There’s something that I’m getting from this pod that is unique… so even though you’re a sexless Fleetwood Mac, please don’t breakup. But, why is Troy always at Alex’s throat? I’m pretty sure that we’re all 75% listening this for the insight of how tech will change media. Why so angry at the most tech-forward amount you — that being Alex? Troy, you have a beautiful, boomer(ing) voice. You’re already turned up to 11. Only Spinal Tap wants that.

PvA has been a source of useful insights and thoughtful perspectives since the start, but I'm enjoying it even more since they started bringing in a range of guests with diverse backgrounds and expertise. Kudos!

Look, this has been my go to podcast for the last year as the the creative and info spaces have been radically altered by AI, but lately it’s been a chore because the hosts and their petty swipes at each other. Every week it feels like I’ve walked into a room where teenagers have just stopped fighting. PvA folks: please remember that it is precisely your differing viewpoints that have allowed you to so accurately map the terrain in front of us and please leave your catty beefs with each other on your (mercifully) private group chats. Get back to the good stuff. Thanks.
