Great show

One of the best tech podcast been a fan for years. Look forward every week. Lots of fun and great conversation about tech and much more.

Get caught up on tech and have fun doing it

I started listening to this show while it was in double-digits. I've heard 99% of the episodes since because Rod, Robb & Chris give the feeling that I'm hanging with them, taking part in an everyday conversation. Their knowledge & their camraderie make SMR a 'can't miss' part of the week.

Like shooting the breeze with your pals

Interested in a tech agnostic podcast, that's thoughtful and funny, all at the same time?SMR manages to hit that sweet spot right in the cross hairs. This is always at the top of my rotation, and I look forward to it every week.
