1d ago45:43

45:43

Notes from James: The biggest lie about writing is that it takes years. I’ve written multiple books in less than a month—including bestsellers. With the right system, anyone can do this. In this episode, I break down how to structure your first book and why your life experience, not your grammar, is your superpower. You’ll also hear my take on AI w…

3d ago39:19

39:19

Notes from James: I’ve written 25 books—some huge hits, some total flops—and what I’ve learned is this: anyone can write a book, but not everyone gives themselves permission to start.

“Free Thought vs Free Speech” with Jenara Nerenberg 1:05:25

7d ago1:05:25

1:05:25

Are people too disagreeable these days? Or, in fact, are we losing the knack for disagreement? Are we self-silencing? Or getting more rude?

She's a Harvard graduate who lectures widely on neuroscience and diversity, and who runs workshops at institutions like the Stanford Gradu…

Bitcoin Meets Gold: Sunny Ray on Tokenization’s Future 1:01:04

10d ago1:01:04

1:01:04

A Note from James: Sunny Ray is working on an incredible project involving Bitcoin and his company, Matador. They’re digitizing gold—turning it into crypto—and he’s a Bitcoin maximalist. That’s different from my stance: I think there are many crypto tokens that are useful for specific purposes. But Sonny’s view is clear—Bitcoin is the foundation. W…

"Does Alien Life Exist?" with astrophysicist Dr Sara Webb 1:21:17

11d ago1:21:17

1:21:17

Are we alone? If alien life exists, why can't we find it? What's "the great filter"? Why is the universe set up the way it is? What are the chances there 's some purpose to it all? And is BBC News correct in reporting that "Scientists find 'strongest evidence yet' of life on distant planet"? What have we actually found? What might it mean? Whenever…

A Note from James: So Dr. Oz—television personality turned government official—this is such an interesting thing. He's going to be the new administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS. He’s going to be in charge of all Medicare and Medicaid. What does he know or think about these parts of our government? Medicare and Medicaid…

13d ago1:35:29

1:35:29

A Note from James: Marty Makary is the new head of the FDA, but he is also an old friend of the podcast. He's been on several times, and it's really important to know how this is going to be a new and different FDA, and it's going to be molded by Marty's very specific opinions about healthcare and the medical industry—and here they are. Episode Des…

“Conspiracies, Echo Chambers & Culture Wars” with Sacha Judd 1:44:24

14d ago1:44:24

1:44:24

The internet is a dumpster fire. Are you a firefighter? Or an arsonist? This episode is a cracker. Sacha Judd is an expert on internet subcultures. A former lawyer, she has become something like “the Mark Cuban of New Zealand” - a smart, left-wing investor in high-growth startups; advisor to businesses; and fierce commentator on Big Tech. Sacha wan…

PREVIEW: Nobel Peace Prize Winner Dave Sweeney 50:27

17d ago50:27

50:27

19d ago1:11:54

1:11:54

Have indigenous Welcomes-to-Country gone too far? On Friday, far-right hecklers disrupted the Welcome to Country (i.e. the land acknowledgment, in North American parlance) of a profound Australian national event, the Anzac Day Dawn Service.

DataRepublican’s Mission: Uncovering Government Fraud to Save the Country with Determination 44:03

19d ago44:03

44:03

A Note from James: The Data Republican—it almost sounds like a superhero name. And in a way, she is. She’s been single-handedly uncovering massive amounts of government waste and inefficiency. It’s honestly unbelievable. And regardless of whether you're a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or anything else, I think we can all agree: there shouldn’t…

"Facebook Whistleblower" Frances Haugen 1:13:36

21d ago1:13:36

1:13:36

How to Succeed with Zero Qualifications 1:04:31

1:04:31

A Note from James: So I gave a little talk at the Full Stack Business Builder Conference. Basically, a conference for entrepreneurs, VCs, technologists, aspiring entrepreneurs. It was more of a Q&A, where the moderator, Peter Satton, asked me questions, but also took questions from the audience. A big concern for many people was, what if I have no …

"American Authoritarianism" with Matt Welch 1:24:55

25d ago1:24:55

1:24:55

What do you make of a U.S. government that snatches people off the street and disappears them into Central American prisons, forever, with no trial, and no way to appeal? Matt Welch is a libertarian journalist. He's no wild-eyed, Trump-loathing leftie. Fresh off the back of his appearance on Bill Maher, Matt joined Josh on Josh's streaming TV show,…

I got a 65-Year Jail Sentence. Then this happened... | Damon West's Story 1:32:12

26d ago1:32:12

1:32:12

A Note from James: Oh my gosh. This guy was thrown in jail for 65 years—and he deserved it. You'll hear about his crimes and misdemeanors. He started as a superstar quarterback, high school and college hero turned meth addict, and eventually became a hardcore RICO gang criminal. Sentenced to essentially life in prison, Damon's story is genuinely on…

How to Write Your Own Best-Selling Autobiography: Part 2 – Crafting Your Life Story with Impact 44:31

1M ago44:31

44:31

Notes from James: I don’t care if you’ve never written a word before—if you’ve lived, you have a story worth telling. The people who write the most impactful books aren’t the most famous or the best trained. They’re the ones who tell the truth with clarity and heart. In this episode, I show you how to do exactly that. You’ll learn how to structure …

PREVIEW: "What Can Democrats Do?" with David Pakman 20:23

1M ago20:23

20:23

The Democratic Party is paralysed. It can't merely offer resistance to Trump. It also needs to offer an alternative to him. But how? Should they oppose his every move, as the likes of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Cory Booker believe? Or should they shut up and wait for the president to doom himself, as Senate minority leader …

Why You Should Write Your Autobiography (Part 1): Unveiling Your Unique Story 48:44

1M ago48:44

48:44

Notes from James: Here’s the truth: if my great-great-great grandfather had written anything—just 10 pages about his daily life—I’d treasure it like gold. And I promise, your great-grandkids will feel the same about your story. You don’t need to be a celebrity to write something that matters. You just need to be honest. Whether you're sharing how y…

“Decoding the Gurus” with Chris Kavanagh and Matt Browne 1:18:53

1M ago1:18:53

1:18:53

When are independent shows like Uncomfortable Conversations serving a useful purpose... and when are they just preaching to the choir?

Anthony Bourdain’s “Lieutenant”, Laurie Woolever 1:11:24

1M ago1:11:24

1:11:24

Anthony Bourdain was Josh's hero. Laurie Woolever was, as Bourdain called her, his "lieutenant".

Tariffs Are Freaking Everyone Out—Here’s Why I’m Not Losing Sleep 43:16

1M ago43:16

43:16

A Note from James: I can't think of anything more boring to talk about than tariffs, but right now, I can't think of anything more interesting either. Tariffs are dominating the news, stock markets are crashing, and everyone is scared. Are tariffs good or bad? Is Trump wrecking the economy or saving it? I'm going to address these questions, looking…

PREVIEW: "What Is the 'Patriarchy'?" with Prof. Cordelia Fine 38:46

1M ago38:46

38:46

Do males and females differ in what we want out of life? In what jobs we want to do? In how much we want to look after babies, or run a tech start-up, or sweep the living room, or be a CEO? Or are biological preferences just an excuse to justify inequality? Cordelia Fine is a feminist academic who studies scientific explanations of sex differences …
