Customer Reviews
Great tech show
I love how light Kevin and Casey are. It’s easy to understand the information with good storytelling and sense of humor. Absolutely the best show about the tech
mostly good content but
Being in tech myself, I like the content of Hard Fork, BUT...
Tone it down.
I can’t believe that Roose and Newton over-emote in normal conversation, and they just spin up each other into a frenzy here. It gets annoying quickly.
Maybe take a step away from gamer enthusiasm.
Love the concept, but hard to take serious
I love the concept of this podcast and I’m looking for a place to keep up with the fast, ever changing world of technology. But the hosts make it really hard to take them seriously. The forced jokes they tell become distracting and cringey to listen to. In particular, the episode on OpenAI and Scarlet Johansson was painful; Casey’s ScarJo movie title jokes almost made me turn the podcast off.
I really want to stick with this podcast. But please dial back the cheesiness. It’s distracting to the point of annoyance.
