Better Offline

Cool Zone Media and iHeartPodcasts

Ed Zitron dissects the artificial intelligence bubble and tech industry excesses through furious monologues and hardware economics.

Why we picked this

We picked Better Offline because it treats the breathless promises of the technology industry with the rigorous skepticism they deserve. Host Ed Zitron cuts through corporate press releases and speculative economic models, examining the underlying math of modern tech bubbles with fierce directness. We favor podcasts that refuse to accept executive competence as a given, and this show spends its entire run exposing the structural vulnerabilities beneath today's most hyped innovations. The back catalog rewards listeners who want a grounded, unapologetic counterweight.
