about this episode

It’s the Double Ryan Roundtable! Ryan Sarver of Redpoint Ventures & Ryan Hoover of Product Hunt join Jason this week to chew on the latest. The three talk Apple, unpack HBO’s unbundling, confess the on-demand services to which they’re addicted absolutely, reveal insights on what makes a good investor, and dish some extra spice involving Tinder, medical marijuana, thin-crust pizza, Ryan Hoover’s swine flu — and what horrible fate will befall anyone taking a picture with an iPad near Jason at a Knicks game.

Also BING Launch of the Week! Will the winner be SmartMat: the world’s first intelligent yoga mat, FeverSmart: the smart patch fever thermometer for kids, or PlexiDrone: making aerial photography a breeze!?
