I really enjoy listening to this podcast, Paris is young and bouncy and her two grandpa's Jeff and Leo try to teach her about the past as technology has moved forward. She on the other hand, brings them up to speed with current. Cultural language, and. Hip and happening trends of the day. I do miss the Jeff Craig Newmark Django. You know you get used to things after a while and you miss it so that is who Jeff is. He needs his jingle. Leo has to stop being so grumpy about it and let it happen.

Listening to this podcast is like getting AI insights from your two charmingly confused grandpas—Jeff and Leo—while their much cooler, more competent granddaughter Paris keeps them on track (and occasionally roasts them with surgical precision). It’s equal parts informative and delightful chaos. I tune in for the cutting-edge AI discussions and stay for the Craig Newmark jingle, which lives rent-free in my brain like an oddly soothing earworm from a parallel universe.

I love this show, the hosts and guests are great, and it presents a fun and balanced take on AI. Speaking of fun, keep the Craig Newmark jingle please!

Interviews are very interesting. Lots of whimsy in between some of the AI news too. It makes for an interesting show. However there is this weird sycophancy for an annoying jingle. Keep the Craig Newmark jingle gone. It’s run its course. Jeff Jarvis isn’t even there anymore! We should be working towards a new one for IM instead!

Love the topic and all the information presented. Always learning something new. And bring back the jingle

I've been listening for a while, and I love the updates to the show, but can we please have the jingle back?

Ai podcasts are either dry, too hype-y, too pessimistic, or worse they predict doom. This podcast is fun! There’s jokes, there’s snark, there’s audience participation in Discord (if you decide to upgrade to the paid version) and there’s a sandy beach (dare to ask.) This podcast is so wild there is even a barbershop quartet singing the name of the one and only Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist and homing pigeon enthusiast. BTW I would have written this glowing review anyway but the barbershop quartet pushed my into urgency as I am a Craig Newmark fan. If it wasn’t for Craig I wouldn’t have been able to furnish my apartment. If you know, you know.

Good AI commentary and inteviews.

The hosts do an amazing job breaking down complex topics and bringing in top-tier guests who offer unique, real-world insights into how AI is shaping everything from business and ethics to creativity and daily life. I always walk away from each episode with something new to think about, and I genuinely look forward to the next one. If you’re curious about the impact of AI or just love learning about technology’s cutting edge, this podcast is an absolute must-listen. Highly recommended! Also bring back the “Craig Newmark” jingle.

Bring it back

I love the delightful back and forth of the hosts of Intelligent Machines and the guests they have on. One of my favorite hosts is Jeff Jarvis, he's the former Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation and director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.

Bring back the Craig Numark song!

This show is academia at its best; nerdy and accessible. The recent interview that starts each show is a glimpse into a world of experts that you would otherwise not even know about (let alone hear them speak)

The guests are usually interesting, the rest is just the hosts rambling about various things they find interesting and their opinions on various topics, not always related to AI.

The interviews done at the beginning of the show are usually very interesting and engaging. When the guest leaves, they start going on near rabid leftist tangents. It’s supposed to be a tech show, not political. So hard to support the podcast.

I really enjoy this show about AI. Just heard a great interview with Stephen Wolfram. Sounds like he has several books out since I read A New Kind of Science a few years ago. Interesting guest on this podcast. Keep it up, TWIT.TV.

Intelligent Machines (formerly This Week in Google) offers insightful discussions on AI, big tech, and the evolving digital landscape, featuring expert analysis and lively conversations. With its knowledgeable hosts and engaging format, the podcast remains a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of technology and its impact on society.

The show was barely about Google when it was called TWIG but now it’s all but unwatchable. Yet another show about AI as if this wasn’t talked about on every other TWIT show. There’s nothing intelligent about this show any longer. And to think I’m a club member.

Love spending my Wednesdays with this show and its brilliant hosts!

I love the new Intelligent Machines show. The guest list has been top shelf! Who gets Steven Wolfram? That was awesome!

When Leo is gone,the co-hosts make it a political show. Advertisers be aware.

I subscribed thinking the new show would be about AI. Instead this is just another leftist outlet attempting to push your personal beliefs.

I miss Stacy. Paris makes me want to go deaf.

One of the funniest episodes from This Week in Google!!!

Affirmation for the weak minded provided by the narrow minded!! The only thing missing from this “Dumpster Fire” is Andy Ihnatko, but he’s probably too busy bringing down MACBREAK WEEKLY!!!

This show gets me to hump day. I have some of my great laughs of the week. The hosts are Awesome!

I don’t listen to as many TWiT shows as I used to due to tech getting boring compared to the old days, but I still tune into this show almost every week. It’s a great show because it takes the discussion beyond some new pointless feature on a phone and actually discusses the societal impacts of technology. The best thing about TWIG is that there is very little Google being discussed.

I used to love this show. I enjoyed the usual bit of philosophical discussion, but now the scales have tipped way to much toward that, leaving actual tech as an afterthought. Stacey is absent way too much, which is unfortunate, as she often would prod the others back to tech discussions. Love Leo, but in the last few years, he interrupts others way too often, on every show he hosts. The never ending pitches for Club Twit have become intolerable. I get that there are less advancements in tech, Google included, leaving less to talk about. So stretching these shows to 2.5+ hours seems counterproductive.

At its best, TWiG gives me an update on what I missed last week in the high tech world in a fun and engaging manner. More often (especially lately) it could better be entitled “Liberal Nerds get distracted by politics.”

Leo Laporte keeps bemoaning that he’s losing advertisers, probably because he’s losing listeners as well. Leo, Jeff, and company are extremely self indulgent in their conversation, as though they have no concern for whether what they are saying would be interesting to the audience. They are also nearly solely focused on Elon Musk, Twitter and other “social media” companies to the near exclusion of all other topics. I don’t mind listening to brief discussions but 2 hours of non-stop fixation on Twitter or Instagram or TikTok and Jeff yelling “moral panic” every 10 minutes, is not interesting.

When the hosts talk tech it is fascinating. Unfortunately the show frequently turns into a far left echochamber, with no room for those who take a different view.

Love it

I used to listen to this show years ago but stopped because of all the political discussion that was irrelevant to the show. I recently gave it a listen again to see if it has changed and unfortunately it hasn’t. Additionally, the show is called this week in Google but I found that Google is hardly discussed.

More politics than Google.

I enjoy the tech information they provide, however as of lately the show likes to get on rants about their political views.

This is supposed to be a tech show it is not. The hosts spend too much time talking about their political views. The show could be about an hour is they cut out all the irrelevant talk.

I've been listening to the show for years. It's an overall good show. Lately though, Leo has been making it a habit of bringing up his son's TikTok account and it has gotten annoying. He's a proud parent, but there's no need to make it a regular thing on the network.

I had found certain parts of what I had believed to had been certain installments of this "This Week in Google" to had been vulgar, negative, unprofessional, unnecessary, and detrimetal.

Leo is one of the best & brings on great guests.

It’s really boring when Leo doesn’t host. Skip those episodes and only listen to the episodes when Leo hosdtstl

There was a time when a high-level, serious intellectual discussion about tech could be heard here. Now it’s all personalities and filler. Ant Pruitt adds zero value to an already watered-down discussion about one company. And there’s already a show for Android so what’s left is… chit-chat about Stacey’s headaches and barking dog. This Week In IOT would be a better focus. Jeff Jarvis is a distinguished journalist; it’s beneath him to have to sit for 2 hours to only discuss Google, and really kind of silly.

Twit needs to hire an editor. We don’t need to hear every off topic or sidetracked discussion. Cut this down to a half hour of hard hitting content and it would be amazing. Who’s got time to listen to a 2+ hour long podcast?

Nothing to do with Google and more of liberal show where they crap on conservatives. God forbid someone has a differing opinion. Terrible.

I get it, you’re a lefty. Don’t need to hear about it. Stick to talking about Google.

Great tidbits on iOt as well Can be broad ranging since it’s about Google The Journalism aspect is straight from a professor, which is its own course in thought experiments 👏👏 And some of their guest are phenomenal. If you did t realize all the hooks Google is into, scan through some of these netcasts and be rewarded with insights 🍩

I greatly enjoy the regulars on the show, Jeff Jarvis and Stacey Higginbotham, but I cannot stand listening to the host, Leo. As others have stated, the show is much better when Leo is out and Jason Howell fills in.

The balance of backgrounds makes tackling some of the heavier issues a full and lively discussion. There's also lots of nerdery with things from web technologies to IOT chipsets to publishing business models. They have done a better job recently in not falling into many political wormholes, which I know a lot will appreciate.

This podcast is a must listen podcast for all. Informative and entertaining conversations from some of the best minds in the industry. Leo hosts every week Stacy and Jeff with Ant to discuss current events and news from the world of Google which touches on many subjects. The knowledge displayed each week is better than any other podcast I have heard with such a wide range of subjects. They make a fabulous panel and it’s enjoyable. Give this a listen for a few weeks and you’ll be hooked.

The title is a misnomer at this point. It’s more about the shady stuff that Google/Facebook/Amazon and sometimes Apple/Microsoft do. Which is fine if it’s good analysis. And the politics don’t necessarily bother me because tech news and politics are necessarily intertwined in 2020. I used to listen to this every week but I’ve had to switch in the middle of the episode for the last two weeks because I can’t take Jeff Jarvis’ defense of FB anymore. FB has been used to poison the minds of half my family and he seems unable to grasp, for example, that just because his personal FB feed isn’t full of nazi stuff doesn’t mean that people with less education and less obvious left-leaning politics aren’t fed that crap. When people say critical things about “out of touch liberal white elite academics in ivory towers”, it’s people like him being criticized. And I say that as a liberal white academic who is neither elite, out of touch (hopefully), and who has yet to be given a tower of any sort. If I can’t make it through an episode of this without yelling at Jeff through the speakers and shutting the podcast off I’m just not going to try anymore. And that makes me a bit sad. I’ll listen to the rest of TWiT though. Just not this one.

These guy disguise their selves as tech people. Yet, their main focus is politics.
