I agree on the audio production but maybe it's just a taste I have not acquired.
What really surprised me is how lauded this podcast has been. I was expecting at least the level of depth of YC's Startup School series from a few years ago, hoping for even more insight. The kind of depth I imagine was in Hoffman's 'blitzscaling' course. It never reached that level and even seemed less detailed than NPR's How I Built This.
The podcast seems geared to a more general audience, which is why I have been befuddled by many who are deeply entrenched the startup/valley/software worlds praising it as a must-listen.
I do echo your respect/like/admiration for Chesky and Hoffman. This free podcast they have made is just not for me.
