2: The hosts don't know what they don't knowThe problem is, VC podcasts don't stick to the core issues of venture capital. 3: The hosts want us to believe what they don't knowThere's a shocking amount of this kind of drivel on the tech podcasts. This is what a good tech podcast should do: Use access to the best and most successful investors and innovators to illuminate the way Silicon Valley works. But that's not what matters in the world of tech podcasts. But after 40 hours of listening to tech podcasts, I feel kind of bad about it.

"The difference between people who achieve their dreams and those who don't is simple," according to Spanx founder and CEO Sara Blakely. "It's not about having a ton of brains or ton of money or a ton of experience," according to Blakely.
