Where We Go Next

If you listen to podcasts, you're probably familiar with Andy Mills' work. He was a co-creator of The Daily, the award-winning podcast for the New York Times that attracts millions of listeners each week. He's also created, produced, and edited Rabbit Hole, Caliphate, and The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, among others. Andy is a deeply thoughtful, intentionally curious human, and that is readily apparent in his newest show, Reflector, co-created with Matthew Boll. We get into a lot in this conversation, like why has storytelling become increasingly political over the last decade? What happens when politics comes to fill a space in society that religion once did? And how do we get to the truth of an event that involves multiple valid perspectives? If there's a though line here, it's a call to reject what Andy calls, “The arrogance of certainty.”Reflector (Substack) // Reflector (Spotify)Rabbit HoleThe Witch Trials of J.K.

On Episode 92 I had the pleasure of speaking with Max Sklar. He's a software engineer, with a focus on machine learning, content discovery, and Bayesian inference - all of which we talk about during his episode. He's also the host of The Local Maximum podcast.Max's podcast appeals to me because it touches on a wide array of complex topics in nuanced, digestible ways. Like the intricacies of intellectual property or quantum computing, even the faults of and potential fixes for US Constitution. Max has a seemingly insatiable curiosity, an addiction to learning new things, and he's a generous host. So it was an honor to be his guest on The Local Maximum, and I'd like to share our conversation with you. We went to some provocative and at times deeply personal places - parts of my story I've never discussed this in-depth before. So I hope you enjoy our chat, and I highly recommend checking out additional episodes of The Local Maximum, available on your podcast player of choice, and at localmaximum.substack.com.
