Customer Reviews
Great tech show
These guys keep the rest of us informed of the technology world in layman language! They’re great!
Great Technology Information
I use this broadcast to get general information on tech stuff, apps and tips. Also learn about topics and tools that I didn’t know existed.
A bit out of touch.
Sometimes they have good information about current technology trends. But I have to give pause, when a “technology show“, can’t even do something simple like properly set up audio for a podcast. Also, the amount that the hosts simp for China is quite offputting.
