What it is
The Dwarkesh Podcast is a long-form interview show hosted by Dwarkesh Patel. Its Apple Podcasts description calls it "deeply researched interviews". Recent episodes centre on AI: agent swarms, recursive self-improvement, AI compute economics and alignment risk. It also strays into physics and maths.
What an episode looks like
Most episodes are a single guest for roughly one to two and a half hours. Recent guests include Noam Brown (17 September 2026), Ajeya Cotra (1 September), Dylan Patel (25 August) and Ryan Greenblatt (11 August). There are also panel discussions, such as the 11 September episode with several AI researchers, and occasional narrated or video versions of the host's written essays, such as "The rise and fall of agent civilizations" (31 August).
Cadence and back catalogue
Apple Podcasts UK showed 141 episodes on 30 September 2026. The feed's ten most recent items ran from 30 June to 17 September 2026, so output is irregular: a gap of about three and a half weeks separated 10 July from 3 August, and there were two episodes in some weeks (31 August and 1 September). The feed is public and free to subscribe to in any podcast app.
Who it suits
Listeners who already follow AI and want guests questioned at length on technical detail, rather than news summaries. Expect heavy use of jargon. Episodes are also published on the show's Substack, which the feed says offers bonus episodes and subscriber discussion. The price of the paid tier is not shown.
