Thanks for taking action on the feedback! I welcome this change and am looking forward to that new episode. Here’s 3 people I would nominate for that episode:
Tied as my top preference:
Peter Hurford—Since he has already volunteered to be interviewed anyway, and I don’t think Rethink Priorities’s work has been featured yet on the 80K podcast. They do research across animal welfare, global health and dev’t, meta, and long-termist causes, so seems like they do a lot of thinking about cause prioritization.
Joey Savoie—Since he has experience starting or helping start new charities in the near-termist space, and Charity Entrepreneurship hasn’t been prominently featured yet on the 80K podcast. And Joey probably leans more towards the neartermist side of things than Peter, since Rethink does some longtermist work, while CE doesn’t really yet.
2nd preference:
Neil Buddy Shah—Since he is now Managing Director at GiveWell, and has talked about animal welfare before too.
I could think of more names (i.e. the ones Peter listed), but I wanted to make a few strong recommendations like the ones I wrote above instead. I think one name missing on Peter’s list of people to consider interviewing is Michael Plant.
