Customer Reviews
Good show, but quality is dropping
One of the better shows, but as of late the signal to noise ratio is going down. Would be nice to get hosts that do more than giggle and speak nonsense and actually bring up new points of views and background on the topics.
Quality podcast
Really good tech podcast. No complaints.
Hype check
It's an excellent review.
