Yet another brilliant episode from Land of the Giants. These deep dives into the tech giants are podcasting at its best giving listeners the long view of how these giants developed over the past 2 decades.
Great Franchise but bias showing more

Fantastic overall storytelling over many series. Clearly well studied and lays out in simple to understand language and analogies, great for mass audiences. However, in more recent seasons the bias is extreamly strong and you can see the clear move away from objectivity/unbiased towards more politically driven analysis and bias. Unfortunate to see but it’s become far more obvious in later seasons
Boring

While one can only appreciate the hard work that’s gone into these series, the fact that many episode descriptions openly compel you to rate them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ means I can only rate them ⭐️⭐️⭐️
