    Good info sometimes
    Mostly just some guy rambling his thoughts aloud. But sometimes some useful information, info or insight.

    Real value in a noisy space
    As someone just starting out in the AI podcast space (NxtG.ai), I know firsthand how much work it takes to cut through the hype and actually bring real value to people every day. This podcast does that consistently. It’s wild to see folks giving low ratings just because NLW also runs a company or has ads. That’s just how sustainability works. We need more people who actually care about the space and are willing to show up daily with solid insights. Respect the hustle.

    This is simply a consultant trying to advocate AI because it is in his best interests. When the bubble bursts let’s circle back to see if there’s any self reflection.

    Terrific information covering what’s happening today and tomorrow in AI
    The most recent episode I listened to was about vibe decoding, and it really opened my eyes to all that’s possible with AI across not just coding that almost every industry and job that even touches a computing platform or smart phone. Well worth your time.

    Best use of 20 minutes daily
    I started listening in October 2024 and I haven’t missed a brief since. Nathan jam packs the episodes with information and insights. Definitively a must-listen for everyone from the AI novice to people actively leading the AI frontier.
  • Theraymiles
    Best AI Recap
    I listen to this show every day to catch up on all the AI news headlines. It’s quick and easy, I highly recommend it.
  • HJColeman
    Favorite ways to stay up to date
    He hits the perfect balance between concise news sharing and deeper dives with valuable insights. Keep up the great work.
  • Ruttin
    About 20%-30% Ads
    The podcast itself is good. About 10 minutes long with 2-3 minutes of ad reads in the middle which is beyond annoying. The signal to noise ratio isn’t as worth it anymore
  • Peter Jay Cramer
    Keeps me informed
    I am a lawyer whose practice is mostly AI, and this podcast is critical to keeping me informed.
  • Buddha Calm
    Hype
    Mushy self-serving navel gazing content, delivered in an obnoxious sing song voice, often feels AI generated.
  • DDina24
    Brief, to the point, excellent takeaways
    Appreciate the hottest trends and observations in AI shared in digestible and useful format, I share many of these takeaways with my teams

    Best AI Podcast
    Nate Whittemore, I am retired and on a fixed income. I love this podcast so much that I bought a subscription to Superintelligent to support you. This is probably 4x the cost of any other podcast I support. I don't really care about the lessons as much as I treasure your in-depth coverage of the business behind all the developments in AI. I know of no place else I can get such rich analysis. Thanks!

    Best Podcast to stay updated with AI
    I can’t thank you enough for providing such comprehensive AI updates in a concise manner. This is exactly what I needed and you’ve saved me hours of time!

    My go to pod for AI news
    The best podcast for staying up to date with what’s happening in AI.
  • baileen
    Fantastic
    I listen every day, went from a total newbie to an AI aficionado. Such exciting stuff, and NLW breaks it down in such a way even I can understand!
  • BIZMARSKEY
    I dig it
    Please keep making longer episodes.
  • smallhorse
    High production values, low quality
    The host affects a very rigid affectation, almost as if he imagines himself a BCC radio host from half a century ago, though he’s American. Worse, he’s clearly not technical at all and is selling an AI course. To top it off, the way he pronounces Jensen Huang’s name is downright offensive.
  • Jeff the Nuke
    Talks too fast but still my daily listen
    The host needs to slow down! The speed setting helps but slows down the speech too much.
  • Chrispb15
    Foundational Source
    I consider this podcast my foundational source of thought-invoking information and analysis on the current and future happenings in AI.
  • Pluteski

    Well scripted and edited, with sound insights beyond just reporting.

  • ShawnStorm13
    The best AI podcast.
    I’ve listened to most of the AI related podcasts and feel that this is the best of the bunch for the following reasons: 1. It’s both informative and concise. I don’t have time to listen to someone ramble on for an hour about a subject that could be covered in 5 minutes, which is my experience with most other podcasts. I love that the AI Breakdown doesn’t waste my time. 2. The host seems both knowledgable and unbiased. I appreciate that he try to stay relatively neutral on most topics and presents all perspectives so that we can decide for ourselves how we feel about something. 3. Consistency. I love that a new podcast is released daily and it has become my routine to listen to the AI Breakdown every morning to get caught up on the latest AI news.

    Hands Down Best AI Related Pod
    A source of succinct, insightful, and well-rounded information on the vast artificial intelligence landscape. This podcast provides a ton of relevant information in under 30 minutes. This is accomplished through the hosts ability to consistently provide the context necessary behind each headline. Not to mention the podcast is extremely well-produced. The host is trustworthy, personable and informative. It feels like you are catching up with a friend ‘in the know’ whose opinion you can trust to be fair and well-informed. This podcast is the go to source for up-to-date AI news and developments through a lens of integrity and consideration. Kudos to the host for creating such a valuable + enjoyable podcast - the effort put into The Ai Breakdown is evident.
  • Lucfmnt
    Every podcast should be like this
    Phenomenally well produced, thoughtful and balance. Would recommend.
  • Jack Jankowski
    By far the best
    I started to listen to NLW in early June on a 3 hour drive. I was so inspired by the one episode I listened to that I went back and listened to every previous episode. I have told about 100 people to do the same thing since then! I very much look forward to listening to this Podcast every morning. I work as a coach to 20 CEOs and it is the #1 way I stay informed efficiently. And that is one of the keys - efficiency! There are so many other blowhard podcasters selling their Secret Prompts or their Master Classes and they just talk and talk and talk. NLW gets right to the point and keeps his focus like an experienced newscaster giving you mostly facts and then some well thought out opinions. If I could wave a wand and get NLW on the speakers circuit to educate CEOs around the US, I would do so in a heartbeat. In the meantime, this podcast will give you that benefit on a daily basis.

    Power of Knowledge Through Podcast
    I am not a big YouTuber, so having this show in Podcast form is great to explore while driving. AI is such an evolving and changing space by the second, so it’s nice to have a daily dive into that world in such a professional presentation.
  • Annabananna52
    EVERYDAY for sure!
    This podcast is a go-to resource for me everyday. There is so much news to keep up on in the AI revolution, and this is a one-stop-shop for the day’s latest. If I listen to this first thing when I wake up, I am well-informed for any conversation about AI before everyone else is even out of bed!
  • Zandy Man
    NLW is top-notch
    Amazing information in everything NLW produces. And his style of delivery keeps you engaged. He’s so concise and obviously super smart. I first started listening to his crypto podcast and knew he was the best. So great to have him talking about AI as well now.
  • Avi Gesser
    Consistently excellent concise summary of important AI developments.
    I’ve listened to dozens of different AI podcasts and believe this is the best of the lot. On the days which I don’t have time to listen to more than one AI podcast, this is the one I listen to. It always manages to cover the important developments, doesn’t engage in either hype or fear mongering, provides interesting insights, and doesn’t waste the listener’s time by repeating itself or spending too much time on each issue.

    I rely on this podcast. (Happy Birthday Nathan)
    Nathan does a fantastic job of gathering the right amount of topics and detail, is a great story teller, has a nice voice to listen to, and generally has become my go to source for understanding this amazing shift on our world. Thanks Nathan for the investment you’re making. I listen every day.
  • solcb
    Probably the best podcast to keep up with AI
    I listen to quite a few AI podcasts and I can honestly say this one is my favorite. Balanced, informative, concise, and entertaining. If you only listen to one AI podcast this is a great choice.
  • NewYorkNate
    Great ai podcast
    I listen to this pod everyday. It’s a quick way to recap ai news in a straightforward news format and they often go deeper on stuff after the breakdown or do interviews etc.
  • cmb132
    Very well produced!
    Well written and delivered overview. I greatly value this podcast!
  • A U12 Coach
    Great format but leaves one wanting more
    Definitely my first resource for everything going on an AI and I love the format but I wish it were 10 or 15 minutes. There’s so much Contant to cover.
  • KevsIdeas
    Great Overview!
    For finding out what the latest updates are in AI, this podcast is a must. I do Uber in the Silicon Valley, and it amazes some of my passengers who actually work in AI that I often know about developments before they do. (I also work in education and was formerly in IT.) Kudos for this podcast!
  • Oncrowdedsubway
    The best AI daily update
    Really appreciate the daily aspect and know how difficult that must be to produce, and yet every day you bring important AI news from a variety of sources and an acute ability to contextualize those items in a format anyone can understand. It feels like I’ve already been briefed before every other AI podcast
  • Dkc@awsomeness
    Great and Informative

    Great podcast!
    Love this podcast!
  • JoelieJoelie
    Absolutely fabulous.
    This podcast delivers in a very short time everything you need to know about the latest news in AI. First a quick summary, then a more detailed episode. There is no extraneous garbage - it’s pure information. Sometimes I have to rewind it,twice, to absorbe it, because he talks quickly. Yes, I slow it down… I don’t miss an episode. Thank you for this excellent resource.
  • Ryan Aussie
    The world’s best AI news podcast hands down
    Every single morning I start my day by listening to the AI Breakdown. Easily the best AI podcast for keeping up with the latest developments. The host is extremely insightful and knowledgeable about the AI world. I’m an obsessive consumer of anything AI and this podcast is really something special. The recent episode about whether AI hype has died down was especially fascinating and enlightening. Definitely recommend a listen
  • StillTheSea
    Brilliant!
    One of the most informative podcasts on the planet- amazing stuff!
  • Me Crad
    Highly recommend
    As a lay person trying to keep up with the developments around AI, this is a great source for things you need to know and thought provoking conversations.
  • neweyedeas
    Part of my daily routine
    Excellent source of information and daily updates on the biggest news and stories surrounding AI. I love listening to this podcast with my morning coffee every day, keep it up!
  • CGillum83
    Excellent podcast with excellent analysis
    The depth and length of these episodes, as well as the content itself, is consistently great. This is becoming my main source of staying up to date in the AI space.
  • adamdrum1
    Fantastic!
    By far, this is one of the best AI podcasts. The host gets right to the point and provides great information for non-technical users like me. It's nice to discover new AI systems that I wouldn't have known about otherwise.
  • TRS336
    SLOW DOWN❤️
    Love this podcast but one suggestion could the commentator please just slow down? He talks like he has had 14,000 cups of coffee. Take a breath and SLOW DOWN a bit. There is a lot of information to absorb, and just taking a minimal pause between sentences would be amazing!!! Thanks so much keep up the good work.
