The first episode of "the portal" was great. In that episode Eric Weinstein and Peter Thiel deeply discussed a variety of topics.

I like Eric Weinstein and he is obviously brilliant, but sometimes he comes across as liking the sound of his voice a little too much--or too theoretical. For that reason, I really enjoyed the interview with Tyler Cowen--Tyler challenged Eric on some things that made for an overall excellent conversation.

But, yea - there are not a lot of interviews out there with that kind of access to Thiel, so it was greatly enjoyed.
