I'd never heard of the guy, but he did a podcast w/ Pete McCormack where PM asked a question and QTR literally monologued for 45 minutes. Then he made a joke about how much he talked, and I was like: okay, he's self-aware at least. Then PM asked another question and he did it again.
Remarkable, the people that show up in this space.
It's really interesting to compare the occasional technical interviews with devs vs guru interviews. The gurus are the ones who ramble on without a pause for breath, whilst it's only the technical guys who will give clear answers and hold their hands up when they're on a topic they don't precisely understand.
I know who I would rather listen to.

Same. Do you have any recommendations for good interviews, or interviewees? I'm always on the lookout.
reply
The Chaincode & Blockstream podcasts are infrequent but often good.
NVK's Bitcoin Review is always a nice jumping off point, even if they don't go deep on the topics it usually leads you down a rabbit hole to an interesting new project.
What Bitcoin Did tends to go a bit macro for me these days, but I really enjoyed the episode last year with Calle talking about Cashu and they've had Shinobi back on recently which is a welcome return. Also the recent episode with Carla Kirk-Cohen was nice and probably what I had in mind as the counter point to the QTR one you mentioned.

I'm not the person you asked for a suggestion but just going to mention Preston Pysh's name, in case you are not already listening to him. Great as an interviewer (and occasional interviewee).
reply
Good suggestion -- I do listen to him already, but it's good to be explicit. I thought his moderation of the Atlantis panel w/ Saylor, Lyn, and ... that other guy was really good. Just a very adept media dude.

I know. That's what stuck out with me during the interview. In fact I think I mentioned it yesterday. I suspect we'll be seeing more of these conventional investment gurus show up soon.
