Customer Reviews
Edging toward Click & Clack
This show started strong, but is now settled in and moving toward Car Talk territory, with forced jokes and forced chuckles in response. Casey needs to stop trying so hard. He also needs to STOP YELLING. I mean, even right at the beginning, during the topic accouncements, so much yelling that the baby cries and the cat runs out of the room. He yells so hard that he knocked a star off my rating. Otherwise, a great show.
Cord box?
Love you guys! I’m a clinical social worker from a tech family… yet I just have to comment Kevin, us women of a certain age have a cord box too!! lol…👌🏻👍🏻
5 stars…AGAIN!
Writing another review about STILL listening to Hard Fork. I thought the music episode was really creative and the compositions were beautiful. I just finished listening the episode highlighting how listeners use AI in their work and even though I’m retired, I got some great ideas. Like, I finally decided to download and play with ChatGPT to help me finish writing my dad’s memoir. He got 2/3 through his memoir before he passed away in Dec and I brought this idea the finish it for him from the back burner due to that episode.
And anecdotes like the “cord box”!!! After I retired, I found 3 of my own cord boxes, which contained lots of forgotten cabling treasures!🤣Casey and Kevin keep me relevant and giggling and I really appreciate that. I always look forward to my weekly Hard Fork doses, thanks!
