Hypercritical

Specially funny all the series about TVs, the "badness" of PHP and the toaster buying process.

I WANT IT

When I finished "Steve Jobs" by Isaacson I had a mixed feeling about it. I asked a friend about his opinion and he just told me "I think the same John Siracusa said on Hypercritical" and he sent me a link on twitter of this podcast (we were very busy at that time to meet and talk about it). I started with the biography related podcasts (42 and 43) and continued forward because I had the feeling that everything John said was very interesting and I wanted to hear more about his opinions every week, Dan Benjamin and him make a great show. By the other hand, I had a modest understanding of english language (learned by reading stuff on my fav blogs), and thanks to this show and others on 5by5, week by week I made an amazing step forward, improving it a lot. For a very long time I had this feeling that I hit a wall on my english skills and thanks to this show I went far beyond my expectations. Not 100% sure I made no grammar mistake on this review but you get the idea :) Thanks!

Now seriously, Hypercritical has quickly become something I expect every week. The show has a fantastic blend of entertainment and usefulness, and John Siracusa is a pleasure to listen to; the dynamic between him and Dan Benjamin, host of the show, is just great. The Talk Show, with John Gruber, was easily the best thing on 5 by 5, but I think Hypercritical has surpassed it lately. Great work.
