Customer Reviews
Consistently evolving, and still the best daily source of tech news
I’ve said this before, but DTNS continues to deliver every day, and I never miss an episode. AND I support DTNS on Patreon because it is obvious that the bonus content for patrons is worth it as well. I’ve yet to find another show that respects my time and insists on journalistic integrity as well as Tom, Sarah, Roger and the regular contributors and guests.
Love the show, but (of course)
I love the show. The hosts are the great. Its a good podcast covering today’s tech news.
I do feel the hosts spend too much time talking about subjects are semi-related or even unrelated to the topic they are discussing.
I would love if they had their topics ordered and a time limit set for each topic to help keep them moving and the show more concise. (Something similar to ESPN’s PTI).
Touch Grass (a/k/a go to Walmart)
Having your female host opine at length about how “Kmart-alternative” Walmart is changing so much after she admits to never having been inside one ever got real cringe real fast. Tone felt out of touch and elitist. Either do your research or don’t filibuster about stuff you don’t know about.
