If you’re going to do a tech podcast in 2026 please do yourself (and the rest of us) a favor and do something different, unique, etc. A new format. Super high production quality. A guest who hasn’t been on every other show. The baseline is too high now. Everyone does video. Tools are inexpensive. Products like Riverside, Descript, etc are so good that the out of the box episode is good no matter what. So you need to go above that. You need to aim higher. And you can! There are so many unexplored formats. Don’t be afraid to get creative. Zig when others are zagging.

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤ Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:52 - Metaverse 15:27 - Quest 3 30:16 - Nature of reality 34:54 - AI in the Metaverse 51:51 - Large language models 57:49 - Future of humanity
