Customer Reviews
Great storytelling!
I'm glad to hear Motherboard doing a podcast that dives deep into the complexities of tech in our world! I'm looking forward to more long form takes on interesting stories that normally might not get such in-depth coverage. Great theme music too, btw 😉
Riveting and thought-provoking!
A must-listen! Gripping and thought-provoking first episode! This was fascinating story that I'd never heard before that touched on hacking, use of police force, data privacy, and double lives! The production quality is A+, too. If subsequent episodes are anywhere near as good as this one, it's at the top of my subscription list.
