Customer Reviews
Insightful, informative and just plain interesting
What hooked me to this weekly (now twice) tech update was the no-holds barred style, these two will say exactly what they feel without any sugar coating. Scott’s perspectives and his ability to connect dots is testament to his breadth of experience and his depth of industry knowledge. The time I spend listening to Pivot is precious and I something I look forward to. Lots of respect to you guys. The music could use a little work though :)
Fake elite pundits.
Their commentary is highly biased and laced with personal attacks. Zero journalistic standards. No critical analysis, just hypocritical opinions. If you listen to their analysis for too long, it will makes you dumb.
