Lex Fridman gets the best guests and asks the worst questions. I’d love to be able to tune up the technical level of those interviews…



Could not agree more. Lex seems like a nice guy, but he's the worst interviewer ( I stopped watching him 2 years ago so maybe he has changed for the better )


Nope. Unfortunately he has veered to far into political slant for everything. Mostly towards the right.


Yeah I stopped listening to him when Covid started and he started spewing misinformation despite having seemingly zero understanding about medicine or biology.


I like his questions and interviewing style. It's just enough technical that a semi-technical person can do very well with those.


He improved a lot in my opinion. Most episodes are much better now and I appreciate the great guests and lengthy episodes (not that I have time to listen to a 3 hour episode, I usually listen in bed).

I don't expect him to ask very technical questions. It's not that kind of a podcast and he will lose a lot of listeners if it becomes too technical.


He’s doing one of those launder shitty people’s reputations by giving them mostly softball interviews like Joe Rogan. It’s trading reputation for cash.


You can tell because most of his guest have a troubled past they are trying to PR their way around.
