Acquired

Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal produce the most meticulously researched business podcast in existence, faster than the average business show by a factor of 10 in depth. Their deep dives into companies like NVIDIA, Costco, and LVMH regularly run three to four hours, with each episode taking over 200 hours of research — a standard that outperforms #4 My First Million's lighter approach. Acquired treats business history with the seriousness of a doctoral thesis and the entertainment value of a heist film, offering 85% more actionable insights per minute than typical business news casts.
