An LLM assessed 456 question → answer exchanges, the host's own answers included. Speaker names were hidden during assessment. Each exchange was marked answered, partly, redirected or not addressed, with a quote as its source. Every exchange below is timestamped and plays. How it works →
These readings are observational: the transcript shows whether the question was answered directly, whatever the reason. It is an AI reading of a public exchange, never a claim about intent, and the tape is one tap away on every row. full disclaimer →
Every one of the 122 people on the record is accounted for: 1 carry a full rate (8 or more assessed questions on raw tape), 104 more have their questions counted (27 of them with at least one not answered directly; too few raw questions for a fair percentage, edited feed included), and the remaining 17 never took a direct question in any tape we hold: compilations, panels and cameo appearances leave nothing to assess.
No needle for Nikesh Arora: fewer than 8 assessed questions on raw tape, and a percentage on a sample that small would mislead. Their counts are real: 1 not answered directly in 6 assessed questions.

Percentages come from raw unedited recordings only: produced podcast audio has tangents and stumbles cut in the edit, which moves the speaker up by about 12 percentile points. The small-sample counts include the produced feed. This is a reading of a transcript. It is not an accusation of dishonesty, and there are many good reasons not to answer a question directly (confidential numbers, unreleased products, someone else's news to break).
