Customer Reviews
Excellent!
Lovely podcast with great topics and presenters who present it in such an easy way. Kudos to the theam and the producer!
Excellent podcast, sorely missed
This is/was an excellent technology podcast. Shame it’s no longer being recorded, but hopefully it’ll return sometime soon.
Fine content but a hard listen.
As someone else said, content would be fine if it wasn’t for the endless awkward pauses. You can really hear it’s been recorded on zoom and the conversation is so stilted because of it. Wouldn’t even be a hard job for someone to go edit out all the dead air, but if they can’t be bothered, I can’t be bothered to listen.
