Customer Reviews
'Tightwad' - a powerful message
An ever interesting, ever informative podcast which adheres to its core values of providing educational (& other) tech support using the principles of best value, rather than simply working to a shoestring budget.
Mark and Shaun provide a technically superior show (good sound quality, fluent delivery, packed with content) which is easy to listen to, partly due to their knowledgable background, partly due to the wide-ranging topics they cover and often because of the enjoyable banter between them. It's not like listening to a lecture, it's more akin to sitting around a table, enjoying a drink or two with a couple of good friends.
Keep up the great work guys.
Great show, full of useful gems!
Have been listening to the podcast for a few months now. Mark and Shawn have an easy way about them that make for an easy listen, and usually a few laughs along the way. Always interesting topics, and I have discovered so many useful programs and hints and tips from my time listening to the show.
I work in IT in Education myself, (with a LOT of iPads, which I am sure Mark and Shawn wont approve of so much!) so it is interesting to see how other people approach the same problems I run up against on a day to day basis.
Highly recommend this podcast not just to education types, but anyone with an interest in computers and doing cool stuff on a budget. Keep up the good work guys.
