Waveform Guests Best Of! Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

This week, half of the podcast team is unfortunately home sick. But we haven't missed a single week of the podcast and we weren't going to start now! So instead of a typical "news of the week" episode, Marques shares some of our favorite moments from a few of the many amazing guests that we've been lucky enough to have on the podcast! Whether you're a new listener, missed some of the interview episodes, or just want to revisit some thought-provoking conversations, this one is for you. Hopefully we'll all be back in the studio next week and can make a regular episode, but we hope you enjoy this one as well!

Are We Optimistic About Tech with Hasan Minhaj Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

This week, Marques and Andrew sit down with Hasan Minhaj! They discuss everything from fantasy basketball to whether or not artificial intelligence can create art. There are a lot of upsides to new technologies, but there are also some serious negative aspects of technology that are worth discussing (hence this 2-hour long conversation). Despite all the downsides, Marques sheds some light on how he thinks about technology and continues to stay optimistic about the future. This is a good one!
