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

Review 4 you. ,

Influencers in journalist clothing

Paid for by the content they are reviewing, equals just another advertisment. Dont listen to this show unless you like watching ads. It’s total bias malarchy!
