Best tech podcast period.
I’ve listened to countless tech podcasts. This is the best one in terms of the host, content, guests, and moderate listening time.

Well curated, super insightful - make sure to add this to your preferred lists of Tech podcasts. Danny- awesome job.
Sitting with them...
Danny is so effective with logically sequential and pointed questions, it mentally engages you into the conversation - as if I was sitting with them during the interview. Of course the subject matter is fascinating, but Danny's style makes it compelling. Eagerly waiting for next episode!
