The Tagline

The definitive deep-dive on how the greatest companies were built.

Full Review

Acquired is the gold standard for long-form business analysis. Ben and David spend hundreds of hours researching each episode, producing three- to four-hour deep dives that rival the best business books. Their Berkshire Hathaway, NVIDIA, and Costco episodes are masterclasses in corporate strategy. No other podcast comes close in terms of research depth per episode.

Fun Fact

Their Berkshire Hathaway two-part episode totaled over seven hours and became the most-downloaded investing podcast episode of 2023.
