I've been dealing with racism in tech since 1985 and this is the first time I've heard the issues articulated so well. Dairien hits the nail on the head with episodes 1,2 and 3, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and what solutions he finds or suggests.

After listening to many of the ‘Startup Playbook’ episodes, I have taken away several valuable lessons and tips. They will definitely help me with my personal entrepreneurial endeavors. Thanks to the team for making this great content available.

I have listened to most of their episodes, as I was hoping to learn about AI. No joy here, it’s god awful. The woman on the podcast is terrible, who says inane and banal things and then laughs at it with a half snort like she made a great joke. What’s sad is the woman who fills in when she is away (the Chief of Staff) is amazing. She says she doesn’t listen to the podcast herself, which is ironic because she is such a terrible podcaster. Every episode the one guy will inevitably say “When we were at Evernote...”, which gets tedious. It takes about 10 episodes to actually learn something.

I was expecting a show that deals with AI. It doesn't. The guy didn't even know how to pronounce ArXiv. (He acknowledged not knowing though.) So forget about anything to do with science. It does hint at what it is like to be a startup, if that is what you are interested in, then you might like it. If you understand the reference in the title, you probably know more about AI than the hosts. I listened to the first 6 episodes (after listening to most of the two bonus episodes--I should have learned from those that it would be bad.) And to be fair, they say they are new to podcasting (in general, they are self-deprecating) , and I was hoping they would improve after 6 episodes. But I did not see any evidence of that, and I decided not to waste any more of my time on this. They are using AI just like any startup: it is the latest management fad, but they really don't understand it. Don't expect anything more than management speak. They fall prey to what most upper management thinks: everybody wants to be a CEO.

I heard about this podcast on Matketplace Tech today and now I'm on episode 9. I'm writing this review using Grammarly, it definitely helped me with my college papers. I'm very interested in AI, but who isn't? I've dabbled very lightly, but the very basic thing I can't figure out is where my trained AI exists. I don't understand how to use it once it's trained. After testing, how do I use it? Gawd, I feel like such a noob. Anyway, I love the program; I'm excited to hear more about All Turtles. Each of you brings something important, but obviously Ms Collier is the best.

Heard about this from Marketplace Tech. Just listened to the first episode and am impressed! Will be subscribing and looking forward to where this goes. Keep up the great work!

It's such a joy to listen to people talking about the near-term effects of smart systems and how to design their interaction with people in a holistic way. I'm encouraged to see a funny, insightful, and well-informed woman involved at the top of this product design company, too. Diversity in Silicon Valley is essential to creating well-behaved products that work for us all.

Love this show -- the hosts do a great job explaining how this new technology can have a fundamental impact on our everyday lives. Personally, I appreciate the discussions around diversity and gender equality. Having all kinds of different voices represented in tech (especially in new sectors like AI) will only make our industry stronger and more resilient. I mean, if we're creating artificial intelligence, we should probably get this stuff right! So kudos to Jessica, Phil, and Blaise for having these conversations. Great new podcast team, thanks for the show.

This podcast strikes a remarkable balance between depth, playfulness, and perspective. It’s refreshingly different and much more self-aware than so many of Silicon Valley’s voices. I especially admire Jessica’s courage to challenge the status quo and provide sharp insight on issues that matter. I love the dynamic between these three hosts, and the inclusive vision they share for their work. Highly recommended for people who care about writing Silicon Valley’s (and technology’s) next chapter. Can’t wait to tune in for future episodes!
