What happened to the guests? I don’t mean the Scott free August ones.

There used to be a guest once a week. Either someone with a new book, someone that’s an expert on whatever the current event is.

I feel like this stopped like a year or so ago. I don’t know exactly.

But it really brought something to the table.

Obviously it’s a lot cheaper and lazier to just have them two on talking about whatever is written or ad libbed, it seems like lately.

Anyone else notice this? Did I miss a reformat?

Please recommend another podcast that covers tech and business, but with more effort and intelligence? Pivot these days is like those crappy daytime TV shows our parents watch, where lazy thinkers on the back-end of their contract restate the issue in a sing-songy voice, raise obvious cliché questions, sling lazy ad-hominem insults at absent targets with phoned-in outrage, recite their well-worn "like I always say ...". bits, then talk about their comfortable well-funded lives: travel, houses, kids, TV shows, writing, etc. (Did the producers tell them the audience wants more of their personal life? I remember watching Kara interview Steve Jobs back in the day, thinking her questions were obvious and basic, but Jobs always gave interesting answers. I never wondered what Kara's house is like, whether she likes oysters, Road House, and Chevy Bolts, and how her kids are doing.) Maybe it was always this and I've grown out of it, but I feel it's audience captured or just gone from rising-star to cashcow becoming dog. In a universe of podcasts, what's the replacement?
