Great Podcast

Another great one from Andy

Why is this even a thing?

I am an avid listener and let me put it this way; this is a show which has a old blabbering man, a woman who i feel is there just to you know keep this interesting (but fails pathetically, and is also a weirdo), only the aussie is somewhat normal thing in the show but he too is boring...and why are they doing this show anyway? They say its a google podcast but there is hardly anything other than silly laughs and giggles about googles impact or other factors, it is a serious company and relay fm is a serious platform. This is getting too much annoying for me, any tech nerd who listens to another podcasts can understand where i am coming from and what this channel does to annoy me, why are they calling themselves a tech podcast anyway? Seriously such a poor podcast and also there are no shownotes(well they don't talk about anything that needs shownotes, they just blabber anyway) and tell me which self respecting podcast doesn't make themselves compatible with overcast? Almost none of its features are used by them. I feel for google, apple has such great people and podcasts to talk about them and make a healthy discussion, and here is google stuck with an oldie who stammers, a woman who laughs too much for apparently no reason, and a guy who seems to have tiny knowledge about tech but thats ok, the other two morons don't let him talk much too. Serious waste of time.
