WHAT LISTENERS SAY

“

Your AI stuff is great. Keep it up. I'm watching and I know other people will too.

“

For me this is the best and my favorite AI podcast. Alex did a really really incredible job in the two years, setting up topics, inviting friends to discuss...

“

I listen to @thursdai_pod every week. It's an opinionated roundup of all the new model releases, tools and platforms, and open source AI developments.

“

The best non-fiction podcast of all time is ThursdAI. I love the host's energy so much.

“

Amazing AI alpha on ThursdAI pod.

“

You guys have no idea how much I look forward to geeking out on this sh*t with you every week with my headphones on.

“

The @thursdai_pod & crew weekly section on open source models has a very global view and were early on qwen, deepseek, etc.

“

Panelists are using and evaluating. Looking at models from different perspectives. Well done, week after week.
