google maps is the worst ,

Really good, but…

This pod is really good. Definitely worth your time. I think it’s clever and interesting, and also entertaining.
My only critique is that the two hosts, and one in particular are very strongly biased in their political views, and their views of the world. But they don’t seem to realize it or have any self-awareness of their own biases.

Excellent

I never thought I would listen to a podcast about technology. But somehow I stumbled, literally, into this podcast. And, surprise, I enjoy it tremendously. I don’t always know what the host are talking about, but they talk so enthusiastically and with humor, that I just enjoy the conversation. Thank you.

cben ,

So much talk, so little content. And drop your voice an octave.

Even skipping the first two minutes of this podcast automatically to try and avoid the banter, I still can’t deal with the deluge of strong opinions and pointed comments from the hosts. The guy with the higher pitched voice especially is extreeeeeemely irritating
