Happy Birthday Hard Fork

Greetings from Belgium (literally around the corner of Imec). I am not even that tech-minded, but your podcast is truly one of the highlights of my week and the actual ‘psychological’ start of my weekend. The focus on the practical and sociological relevance and impact of all changes that keep on coming at such high pace is super interesting. But even more importantly, you’re both so fun to listen to. Never thought ICT stuff would make this lawyer smile!! Keep up the great work!

Love the podcast!

I’m a really fan of the podcast.
But the episode with the CEO of Parler was the worst. She was verry rude to him without any reason.
