Who will be guests on the Dwarkesh Patel podcast in 2026?

Question

Resolves YES to every guest who appears on the podcast. The episode must not merely be recorded but also be released to the public, officially, not via a leak, for it to count.

Any submissions made after the podcast episode is released to the public will be N/A'd.

Dwarkesh Patel option note

Will resolve YES if there is an episode where he is interviewed, like the AMA episode from 25th March 2025

Update 2026-02-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Collaborative episodes (where Dwarkesh collaborates with another podcast/creator) will count for resolution purposes if the episode appears on the Dwarkesh podcast feed and YouTube channel.

Update 2026-10-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Episodes must appear on both the podcast feed and YouTube to qualify; YouTube-only uploads (such as lectures) do not count.

Sarah Paine does not resolve YES based on her 2026 lecture uploads, and the option remains open through the end of the year.
