They give too much backstory I could watch for 30 minutes without seeing the title and not know what the business is

Excellent!! Guy is a gifted and skilled interviewer. The shows all get 5 stars!

I have been listening to this for 20 minutes and I already love it. I also love a lot of other Guy Raz podcasts.

Guy has kept me company for many a road trip with HIBT - the variety of companies and backstories have forced me more than once to stay in my car till a story is finished. Great podcast!

Good show and motivational. However, please don’t be nosy - don’t ask the inventors their contacts - like chemists or trade secrets. Why does Guy Raz require that info?

Guy you are great

I’m always so niched down that I love listening to all the various business owners on this podcast share their journeys. I always leave more open to opportunities and comforted knowing there are other business owners in the world just like me.

Excellent variety of guests. Guy can fine-tune his interviewing by not suggesting answers.

I love listening to these in the car on a long drive or just chilling outside on the porch!! Love guy and how he asked questions that keep the people getting interviewed talking about there company or business or whatever he’s talking to them about! 💕😁

Never lets me down! Even the episodes that cover businesses or individuals that do not originally interest me almost never fail to pull me in. Guy, I understand the self-doubt, but I do hope you realize on a more objective level that you are nailing it! :)

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Guy Raz is an amazing interviewer. I’ve been listening for years… The stories are inspiring.

Love your pod casts. Every night I put on earbuds and tune in. Please keep up the fine programming Steve Kahn

I really wish How I Built This Lab was a separate podcast. And we could choose to subscribe to that one as well

Very interesting you don’t have as much good people on as you used to but still good. And sometimes you bring something woke into it but other than that I love this podcast!

I enjoy this app while driving or mowing. Guy does an excellent job asking the questions that I would ask!

I typically like HIBT episodes. I like Guy’s questions typically. I wish he didn’t focus so much on Mr. Burch’s opinion of Tory’s goals and aspirations during this episode.

I really enjoy this podcast. Guy Raz is well prepared and asks enough tough questions to make it interesting. And, you really get a feel for the difficulties that people face when starting a business. The Thomas Keller episode was really good!

I find the topics interesting, but I find some of the interjections sound inserted during editing. Some “ums”, “hums” and “yups” just sound like they were inserted into a string of dialog from the guest after the fact. Not sure if this was actually the case, but sounds assembled to me.

Really interesting to go back and listen to the Affirm episode in the era of high interest rates. It gives you a great sense of how blind FinTech entrepreneurs are to the “Fin” side of their profession. Levchin, who sounds like an amazing guy in general, claims that Affirm’s profitability trajectory is essentially guaranteed by the unit economics of the company’s business model. He calls it a fun math problem. Obviously he knows very little about cost of funding. The roughly 20% of his workforce that was recently laid off probably wishes he had taken at least one finance class to balance his programming genius.

I used to Love this podcast… listen every day on my walks. But now I’m finding it almost unbearable. Guys questions go on and on and on… interrupting the guest constantly and he stumbles over his questions with “like” ..my goodness ! The show used to be a bit crisper, but now this is so hard to listen to!! I find myself screaming “STOP TALKING -let your guest finish a thought!!!!” and “Get your questions printed out so he can read them!” Please watch YouTube channel Diary of a CEO.. the host is an industrial strength listener. Questions are well thought out and no stumbling along. It’s not endearing…it’s juvenile.

See title

I love it!

I enjoy listening to different topics without options thrown in. Most topics are very interesting. Thanks to the podcast crew for all they do.

Want to like this podcast but the host saying yah constantly has is so grating, I can’t make it past episode one. Would be much better without the host interview style.

Love this concept. Love the stories. Love the host! Unfortunately the show has an insanely long intro which is incredibly frustrating for someone like me who tries to listen on the way to work-30 minute drive. 15 minutes of it are commercial and lead up blah blah. So I have to go back and listen when I have a full hour to do so!

Guy does a deep dive into each Pod and is a master interviewer. I look forward to all of shows. I learn so much. Thank you Guy & Pod Crew!

This is my favorite podcast!!!! I listen every night and my favorite episode is Milk Bar with Christina Tosi!!!

Is it possible for Guy Raz to have a guest on his show and not interrupt them? Similarly is it possible for him to have a non American and not re-say everything they say as if they don’t speak English? His guests are amazing but the etiquette is awful. I could scream.

Love love love this podcast. Great stories

I really enjoy this podcast when it is a company I am interested in. Also can you please look into Melissa

Maybe it’s my own interests, but I’m finding the show is losing my interest, seemingly mostly from the guests they get. Less and less appeal to me and it feels like they’re scraping the bottom. Sure, these people are successful by some people’s measure, but they sure don’t inspire me like some guests they’ve had on.

Interesting content/guest ruined by intermittent/random audio overlay makes it too distracting to listen to.

It blows my mind that this show gets some of the most interesting and accomplished founders on the planet, only to have Guy ask naive / hungover-sounding questions. Stop dumbing everything down — this isn’t a podcast for 4 year olds

It’s my go-to podcast. It’s fun and I learn something new about businesses I know and don’t know with every new listen.

Just OK

Enjoy every single moment of each interview And I learned so much about everything Thank you Pink is a fun and very intelligent person Amazing story and courage Bravo Pinky

Adding to my review. I am going to drop listening to the Lab shows because they are now close to an hour long. The main show is 1.5 hours and if the quality continues to decline I will drop podcast all together. 2.5 hours is too much to ask of listeners. Anyway it is a shame since this was my favorite podcast. The quality of quests is lower and length is increasing. The quality is going down hill. Double whammy. The stories are not as interesting and the length is way to long. Too much background. We don’t need to know the guests entire life history. I can’t listen any longer. I can’t believe that Guy has the nerve to believe that he can waste over 1.5 hours of our time. His shows keep getting longer. Too much detail that is not important. Need better editor. This is what I wrote a 6 months back. Guy is making these shows TOO LONG. 49 mins tops should be the target. Shows are know about 1.5 hours. I can’t deal with that. Too many shows with 3 per week. Over load. Shows continue to get longer. Well he know is putting out 2 shows a week. The main show released on Monday are close to 1.5 hours. Way too much background of the individual in them. 2nd show is the right length but so far they haven’t been very interesting. I am seriously thinking about unsubscribing because I can’t justify the use of my time. It is a shame because this was one of my favorite pod casts. I think it is now about how we can capture more of the listeners time.

The guests and companies profiled are awesome. I only wish Guy understood the role of an interviewer. Ask a question, then get out the way and let the guest tell his/her story. STOP interrupting the guest by trying to finish his/her sentence! This habit is annoying enough with a dinner party companion. It’s only worse with a podcast host.

Great podcast to learn about the fundraising world! Thanks!

Loved the MK episode.

I am just a kid, and i love listening to Planet Money, it is really great and fun

I am a podcast nerd and this is my favorite.

Early episodes of this show were incredible. Then they started doing a bunch of filler live episodes. Now, all the sudden there is a paywall with no explanation. New episodes are blocked unless you subscribe to Wondery. Not cool.

I’ve always really enjoyed listening to your show on the radio (guess that reveals my demographic) and just discovered the podcasts. Listing a new way as I move towards retirement. I’ve a suggestion about a company Flowfold that started making wallets out of recycled high end sail cloth.

Let the interviews speak for themselves. The audio overlay is particularly distracting when listening through earbuds.

The shows lately have had a lot of swearing. I know Fword is mainstream but I don’t want my kids picking up bad habits. We used to listen to this together but not anymore. Still good interviews

I love this podcast . I would love for you to do a pod cast with the Jordan Carriers owner.

Guy Raz is a fantastic host with a fantastic tone, cadence and inflection. The production quality is top notch and love the cold opens. Great work to everyone involved on the podcast!
