Customer Reviews
One of my favorites
Been listening for years. Only podcast that I give money to for extra content. Each week I can’t wait for the new episode!
Really fun, ramblings on tech/tech adjacent things
I enjoy the podcast a lot. I was an occasional listener for years, maybe 3-4 episode a year since for 5yrs. For some reason I started listening weekly last September and it’s been super enjoyable.
I was surprised to see alot of reviews mentioning politics cause I barely even remember them saying anything politically related. They might occasionally say something that reveals their politics but mostly it’s just tech stuff.
This show has become just 90% complaining
I used to love this show, however it seems like most of the show topics end up in complaining about how things aren’t good enough for them. It had a good run.
