Customer Reviews
Still as good as ever, but needs to be more frequent
TechZing is one of the few podcasts that I look forward to each and every episode, in fact whenever I receive a new episode I interrupt any other podcast I am listening to, to tune in to another information packed TechZing show.
Their format is very relaxed, there are no gimmicks, just lots of chat about their projects and health, whether that’s torn ligaments from trying to jump for a hoop, or mental issues, it’s all laid out on the table for all to share.
My last review mentioned Pluggio and AnyFu, so I’ve updated this review. Pluggio was sold, AnyFu other was about to go live and wobbled at the last hurdle - even though it had great potential it no longer exists. My impression was that it wasn’t a technical failure, but instead a conflict between them which seemed significant at the time.
Back to the podcast, you will love the sound quality, it puts many others to shame.
Right now they need to improve the frequency and have an agenda, for example I’d love to hear a bit more tech than zing, the details previously discussed tend to now be about math academy, sporting injuries or Justin’s move to the hills, I’d love to hear more about their thoughts about upcoming tech (Web Assembly, etc) and more low level details about their development work and choices made.
Great show guys - keep up the awesome work.
Just don’t listen to Justin’s stocks and shares advice 🤪

The hacker's guide to DIY start ups
If you're bootstrapping a startup or thinking about it then this is the podcast to listen to. Very entertaining and you learn a lot by listening.
Awesome show for driving on long trips...
After listening all 234 episodes (so far) I can just say - It can change your life... ;)
The amount of excellent stories, ideas, laughter, good vibe and just plain old decent fun is remarkable...
Not only for tech geeks, there are also "Stories from the dark side", dieting and exercise advice (mostly not very good, but really funny), raising kids, psychology of people, lots of Tesla related stories and much much more !
Awesome work guys, all the best!
