Customer Reviews
Delivered in a straight style
Such a pleasure to listen to the tech news without all of the gloss that comes with other podcasts. It’s a good listen for me covering a wide range of subjects within less than 10 minutes. Good enough for me to start a whole range of conversations with friends and family.
Too many adverts
I used to listen to this daily but now there are far too many adverts. Some 2 minutes long and disguised as editorial, so it takes a while to realise you’ve just listened to a sponsored ad. A big shame.
Excellent podcast, let down by poor audio and intrusive music
I tried this podcast today and found it an excellent source of current and ongoing tech news. The individual subjects covered are really bit-size chunks, but the show I listened to was marred but annoying and intrusive music over the voices and poor quality audio from some contributors. The jury is out whether I will stick with it, which is unfortunate.
