Customer Reviews
More than tech, but…
A great listen for those following the news about Apple and tech. The guests are always great, but the host… 🙄
Let’s just say that to get to the relevant commentary and excellent insights in every episode one has to suffer through some of the worst elitist chit-chat ever. The conversation is often completely detached from reality in terms of social commentary, and the lack of empathy for anyone who isn’t a wealthy white man living in North America is cringe worthy.
In short: great commentary about tech, terrible insights about life at large.
I liked it better
I love Dan also, but Gruber is better as a stand alone show
Long Live Talk Show
I hope that this new incarnation of the Talk Show lasts a looong time! Gruber needs to learn some of the great skills of Dan Benjamin as a co-host, but he's a smart guy and I think he can get it quickly.
