I don’t think my comment is likely to be all that useful, but putting it here anyway.
I personally find it difficult to pay attention to podcasts with more than 2 people. I tried to listen to the first episode for about 30 minutes and this one for about 5 minutes, and I couldn’t comfortably follow them while paying attention to other tasks (walking around, cleaning, cooking etc.).
I think it’s likely that more diversity in the space is good though, as many of the most popular podcasts I see on e.g. Youtube tend to be more than two people. I suspect this is more related to my own personal idiosyncratic preferences, and it might be good to attract new listeners that have different preferences. I can see another commenter was absolutely enthralled!
I also now really like the look of Dwarkesh’s podcast, and plan to listen to it, and I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise!
