Tech news I regularly tune into

He’s just colorful and honest! The shows don’t go on forever (except for the live Apple event streams lol) and he seems very to the point and genuine as he points out things that most average joes care about. Thought it was time to give him his due cuz I’ve been listening to Brian since his Cnet days w/ Molly Wood. Hope u keep it goin strong brotha!
