[Best podcasts](https://realalpha.app/best/) · Updated Oct 23, 2026

As of Oct 23, 2026, Real Alpha’s ranking of 68 interview podcasts puts Sources, Latent Space, All-In, a16z Podcast and Training Data at the top, by the minutes worth watching cut from each. We follow 68 long-form podcasts and cut those minutes from their episodes. Every show we follow is a long-form interview show, so all of them are here, the big general shows we follow only for their AI and tech guests too. This list ranks the 68 we follow that fit it: the 48 we’ve cut 478 moments from, then 20 we haven’t cut yet. It changes as we cut more.

**How we rank:** Each moment we’ve cut from a show earns a point, plus one when an AI builder is the one talking and one when its episode cleared our views bar, and a moment’s points halve every year after its episode came out. Each show is scored on its five best episodes by those points, so posting more often doesn’t lift it. Shows we follow but haven’t cut from yet come after, by the views their episodes usually get on YouTube.

## Questions

### What is the number one interview podcast?

Sources is the number one interview podcast in Real Alpha’s ranking of 68, as of Oct 23, 2026. It has 18 moments cut from 6 episodes, 15 with an AI builder talking, mostly on AI agents and open-weight models.

### What is the best daily interview podcast?

Latent Space, No. 2 of 68 in Real Alpha’s ranking, is the best-ranked one with a new episode every day.

### How does Real Alpha rank interview podcasts?

Each moment we’ve cut from a show earns a point, plus one when an AI builder is the one talking and one when its episode cleared our views bar, and a moment’s points halve every year after its episode came out. Each show is scored on its five best episodes by those points, so posting more often doesn’t lift it. Shows we follow but haven’t cut from yet come after, by the views their episodes usually get on YouTube.
