This Week's Pulse

How I Built This with Guy Raz surged 29 spots to reach the number 48 position in the Q1 2026 U.S. Podcast Ranker, driven by a high-profile NVIDIA interview with Jensen Huang that aired the week of May 18.

While Guy Raz maintains his business-focused momentum, his lighter side remains on display over at Wow in the World. During a recent discussion on human biology, Mindy Thomas pointedly asked, "Guy Raz, how many words do you know?" before later pivoting to a segment where she noted, "You know, Guy Raz, for a long time scientists didn't have a good way to count how often people tooted."

The contrast between the host's two worlds is stark. On How I Built This, he is the polished interviewer dissecting the legacy of firms like Room & Board with John Gabbert, where he reminds his audience, "If you're interested in insights, ideas, and lessons from some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs, please s". Yet, in the recording booth for Wow in the World, the tone shifts entirely, with Mindy Thomas catching him mid-thought: "Hey, Mindy, uh, sorry to interrupt, but, uh, c- could I get your help with a little, uh, situation we're having over by the refreshments table?"

Looking ahead, the question is whether Guy Raz can continue balancing these disparate personas as his business podcast climbs the charts. Investors and listeners alike will be watching to see if the recent NVIDIA success sets a new standard for the caliber of guests he secures for the rest of the year.
