And it shows in the quality of the content being pumped out there, with interviews devolving into conspiracy theories of the flat-earth variety, astrology, peddling questionable goods \u2014 to say nothing of advice on what to do in every room in the house, from the kitchen to the bedroom. It is perhaps surprising that the Lex Fridman Podcast \u2014 hosted by the eponymous computer science PhD holder whose natural speaking voice has all the monotony of the Stephen Hawking voice box \u2014 has broken the mold to become arguably the second most popular interview podcast show after the Joe Rogan Experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Like the latter, Lex Fridman has no qualms with the type of guests and topics he covers<\/span><span style=\"\">: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">From cybercriminals to the cybersecurity officials who caught them \u2014 and from leaders and pioneers to deranged pseudo-celebrities. What differentiates Fridman is the nuance of his approach, which gives every guest the seriousness that arguably some do not deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">A masterclass in podcast interviewing:<\/span><span style=\"\"> Ironically, the same monotonous voice that drives <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">first-time listeners away appears to make his guess comfortable opening up. The show is also helped by the fact that Fridman is genuinely interested in a broad variety of topics, including tech, politics, history, business, philosophy, psychology, and (being the Russian-American that he is) chess. Episodes on any of these topics are a hit. As people who engage with and interview people with a story to tell, we\u2019ve definitely taken cues from his show. <\/span><\/p>\n<p
