Customer Reviews
A Fan fave
I listen to this podcast very often. Chris and Ron have great chemistry; they understand the art of storytelling and explore it visually and creatively.
The topics are always relevant, and I believe all professionals have thought about them at least once in their careers. This podcast takes us all on a journey of their stories and guest stories! As the guys say, they are humanizing technology and the stories behind the tech! It’s so fascinating! Keep up the great work, Hacker Valley Media Team!
