Fabulous tech show!

I just listened to episode one and it was terrific. I have followed Amber Mac for years and she and Michael deliver a fast-paced show with lots and lots of information.

It was great to hear Cali Lewis talking about her new show Geeks Life.

I’m subscribed and can’t wait to listen to episodes two and three!
