Transistor Radio
Transistor Radio

A bi-monthly podcast where we have a short Chip Chat about Transistors! Semiconductors are one of the most fundamental technologies of our time, yet are often under-discussed or misunderstood. We want to chat about them (and other things). Come learn some more about Semiconductors!

Today, the Slop Sons talk SemiAnalysis' obsession with Claude Code, ASML's 3 shot thing, and the Qwen turbulence.
Jeremie Ontiveros of SemiAnalysis joins the Transistor Radio pod for a live in-person episode.

Happy new year, every one. In tonight's unhinged episode, Dylan recounts a wild Christmas. We talk Deepseek V3 and dispel several misunderstandings. We discuss Al Pastor and its differences with shawarma. And close with microplastics.
In today's joint ChinaTalk-Transistor Radio, Dylan, Doug, Jon, and Jordan go through their top 3 stories of 2024.
Another episode of Transistor Radio. We continue to worsen the show's quality to make it more fun for all of you guys. We talk about Intel, nuclear reactors and China WFE.
Note: I apologize, my audio is a bit quiet. Not sure what happened but my whole onside recording got messed and I had to recover from cloud recording. In today's episode, we talk about recording with Dwarkesh, nuclear reactors, and ask what is going on with Samsung?
Yes we are still around. In this episode we talk Intel, Oracle, and Strawberry. Dylan touts a new conspiracy theory he refuses to divulge.
In today's episode, we talk about Nvidia Blackwell delays, what is a Japan carry trade, and cry over Intel
I am traveling today so I don't have my regular mic. Dylan podcasted from bed, but Doug is in tip top form. In this episode, we talk about overheated semicap, the cracked AI programmers in China, that new Etched chip, and nuclear reactors again
I hope you all had a great Memorial Day. In today's episode we talk Nvidia, time in Europe, and egg farming. Updated for some desynced audio and normalized the audio levels
In today's episode, we talk AMD earnings and massive capital expenditure raises by the tech giants. Oh and in the middle, we talk about AI-powered baby cradles.
