The Qualys is a subscriber-exclusive podcast, released Tuesday through Friday, and published exclusively on our private, subscriber-only podcast feed. Qualys is short-hand for “qualifying round,” which are typically the fastest laps driven in a race car—done before the race to determine starting position on the grid for race day. The Qualys are short (i.e., “fast”), typically less than ten minutes, and highlight the best questions, topics, and tactics discussed on The Drive.
In addition to The Qualys, subscribers also receive additional benefits:
Access to members-only Ask Me Anything (AMA) podcasts and AMA forum
You get access to the back catalogue of AMA podcasts, and all future AMA episodes. You’ll also get the ability to participate by submitting your questions via the AMA page for possible future episodes. Full AMA episodes will be released through the members-only podcast feed.
Comprehensive podcast show notes
We take extreme pride in detailing every topic, paper, person, and thing discussed in every episode of The Drive. This takes us a lot of time to produce, but there truly is no better way to take a deep dive into any of the topics we explore on the show.
Exclusive discount codes for products we believe in
I want my supporters to get the best deals out there on products I love. Although we do not take sponsorship money from anyone, we’re working closely with some products I love and buy myself to get exclusive members-only discounts. This allows us to take the money sponsors would have paid me, and pass that on as savings to you instead.
Exclusive private podcast feed

Comments are welcomed and encouraged. The purpose of comments on our site is to expand knowledge, engage in thoughtful discussion, and learn more from readers.
Criticism and skepticism can be far more useful than praise and unflinching belief.
There’s an art and science to critical thinking and how to conduct yourself. There’s a multitude of fallacious appeals we could spell out, but a good rule of thumb is not to attack the person, attack the ideas. Don’t look for the flaws in the person, look for the flaws in the hypothesis. Let’s keep the brawling to movies depicting minor league hockey teams and political “news” shows.
Thank you for adding to the discussion.
