The Social Radars Season Five Update

Source note Episode guide Original audio

Summary

This short The Social Radars update has Jessica Livingston and Carolyn Levy preview Season Five rather than conduct a founder interview. The hosts say the show is getting a new look and feel, expanding to Substack, and publishing full podcast episodes on YouTube. They also use the update to point listeners back into the two-year archive, especially Tyler Shultz, the continuing Ron Conway series, and the shorter-form Founder Mode interviews.

Key Claims

  • The Social Radars Season Five is described as launching soon with a refreshed presentation.
  • The show is adding Substack and full-episode YouTube distribution, moving beyond the earlier clip-oriented video posture.
  • The hosts treat the two-year archive as an onboarding surface for new listeners, naming Tyler Shultz and the Ron Conway series as notable entry points.
  • The Ron Conway series is framed as an incremental oral-history substitute for an autobiography, moving chapter by chapter through Conway’s career and Silicon Valley network.
  • The hosts say the Season Five delay partly came from launching the shorter-form Founder Mode series over the summer.
  • Founder Mode is described here as a short founder-interview format about moments when founders had to enter founder mode or define what the term means to them.
  • The hosts ask listeners to rate and review the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and to subscribe to and like the show on YouTube.
  • The stated Season Five timing is source-relative to December 23, 2025: the hosts say it should arrive in the next couple of weeks.

Source Notes

  • Ingested from the TSR-S5-CatchUp2-v1 Markdown export in the podcastatlas episode corpus.
  • The source is a 158-second announcement, so the page treats it as show-level context and avoids adding new company-building claims beyond the recap.
