Reception

Oliver Tryon praised the podcast at Cultr in 2020, and wrote, " Anyone interested in tech, business and everything inbetween – this is a must listen."[6] Nitish Pahwa wrote at Slate in 2023 that the podcast is "where Silicon Valley's money says what it really thinks", while also condemning the show for "falling back on shallow talking points when it comes to common bugbears—the media, 'woke' and triggered libs, anti-capitalists, tech workers aka the 'surplus elite,' criminal justice reformers".[7]
