First In-Studio Guest: Roland Manthorpe (Sky News)
The hosts show off their new studio and imported Italian sofa, preview the day's guest lineup, and welcome Sky News technology correspondent Roland Manthorpe as the show's first-ever in-person guest. He explains why the AI minister's cabinet move is actually a demotion for AI within DSIT, details the two-year GDS-to-DSIT migration, and warns that agent-driven FOI requests and claims will overwhelm public services built on friction. He also calls open letters low-stakes status games — arguing Dario should fund Demis's model-inspection plan rather than sign statements — leading to a debate on Zuckerberg's revealed preferences on open source and who benefits if AI is commoditized.
Granola's Apple Watch App — Sam Stevenson
The hosts react to Granola's surprise Apple Watch launch and the social norms around wearable recording, then co-founder Sam Stevenson joins to explain the product. He walks through the app itself, the woven strap made by a local London weaver, the 2-million-impression launch video, and privacy choices like the always-visible green screen and deliberately no audio recording, predicting most work conversations will be transcribed by default. He also shares updates since their last appearance: a 20-person San Francisco office, larger enterprise customers, the new follow-up-emails feature, growing API/MCP usage, and the long-term 'company OS' vision.
The 'Bezos List': Founders Ranked by Wealth Created for Others
The hosts walk through Pirate Wires' 'Bezos list' ranking founders by wealth created for others: Samsung's Lee Byung-chul (#10), Micron's founders (#9), Zuckerberg (#8), Musk (#7 — with the Tesla share count and SpaceX IPO math unpacked), Morris Chang (#6), Bezos (#5), Gates and Allen (#4), Page and Brin (#3), Steve Jobs (#2), and Jensen Huang at #1 with $4.95T. They note Nvidia raised only ~$60M in total, so nearly all of its $5.1T value accrued to others, and that memory/chip names dominate the list's lower half.

Sam, Granola Co-Founder, on the Raise, PMF & Company OS
Granola co-founder Sam explains how the Index-led round came together, why Danny Rimer was a top choice, and how a year-long closed beta turned 'granola' into a verb before they felt confident launching. He lays out the vision of meeting transcripts as the raw material for company AI — new API, team spaces, and a San Francisco go-to-market team — and credits their edge in the crowded AI-notetaker market to users' reliance on paper notepads with rival bots. He also shares his privacy reservations about always-on hardware and his hands-on role as a designer in the Ragged Edge rebrand.
