The voices

I really want to like this show. I’ve subbed and unsubbed several times. Each time I quickly realize on… the voices. I wish i could explain how irritating it sounds over headphone. Oh well, at least i gave it several chances.
Audio on Surveillance ep

I love this show so much! Unfortunately the expert on the protest surveillance episode had poor audio quality and it was hard to hear his insights. Please fix this or make this info available in an analog format, thanks and keep up the great work

The journalists at WIRED don’t know what “libertarian” means? They like, literally have no idea between the three of them??? And they’re not embarrassed to admit this?
Wanted to double tap but I can’t

I wanted to like this show and have given it a long honest try but the hosts come off as kinda not serious and more interested in chatting with each other like friends. It’s a wasted opportunity of a podcast that could delve deeper into information from the magazine but instead they opt for flippant euphemism and superficial hot takes.
News I didn’t know I needed to know!

The tech bros political impact Elon Musk represents certainly caught me by surprise; Uncanny Valley journalists are educating me about a force on our national scene I haven’t been paying enough attention to!
So many likes!

Absolutely look forward to each new episode drop from these brainiac explainers. Seems like a particularly critical listen at this moment in time, but back log episodes are well worth a visit also! Keep up the great work!
Yeah.. like whatever

If you value investigative journalism and want to support a free press, I highly recommend subscribing. So sorry to the very sensitive little guys who want WIRED to just stick to the iPhone reviews. Far be it from me to speak for others. Personally, I think as a nation, we are better off with a news organization that is actually standing up for a free press. One that shines a light on wrongdoing and promotes transparency. But if that is offensive to you, you should leave. For the incels, who don't like their daddies, oops, I meant "heroes" being questioned... or worse, critiqued, so sorry to see how much that hurts your feelings. The tiny brains can't comprehend that this type of journalism is not about being "mad" or "attacking" individuals, but rather about uncovering the truth and promoting accountability. I know that is very hard for them to comprehend.
Informative

I think this podcast is thoughtful and informative. It feels like listening in while your smart friends have a conversation about the impacts of modern technology on society and culture. I’m excited to add this to my weekly listens!
