Episode notes

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a documentary that was especially so food focused, but the story itself was very compelling. The same filmmakers went on to make series for Netflix called Chef's Table and they've taken that format and now it's become TV. But I suspect the movie's more subtle and the TV show is too literal would be, I guess, not having seen the television show.

On this special year-in-review episode, Tyler and producer Jeff Holmes talk about the past year on the show, including which guests he’d like to have on in 2023, what stands out to him now about his conversation with Sam Bankman-Fried in light of the collapse of FTX, the most popular and most underrated episodes of the year, what makes a guest authentic, why he hasn’t asked the “production function” question much this year, his essay on Marginal Revolution on the New Right, and what he’s working on next. They also evaluate Tyler’s pop culture picks from 2012 and answer listener questions from Twitter.
