Disappointing

Casey was insufferable and very very clearly biased in favour of his own group at the clear detriment of another minority in the most recent episode. Just very disappointing. The selfish, critical, and unintelligent attitude doesn’t look good on anyone, Casey very much included.

Such entertaining hosts

These guys are amazing. They dissect topical issues in a thoughtful way, and some how are constantly making me laugh. I’m trying to find podcasters in other areas (like history podcasts) who compare and just can’t.

I think they should just become full time podcasters, covering all kinds of things (not just tech related), because it is just so fun to listen to them.

Hard Fork 🍴is funny

I appreciate having tech news synthesize for a non tech person like me - also really appreciate the bad humour - kidding
