Keep your political slants out of it

Mar 12

Capt Benjamin Sisko

Just report on the tech need and keep your political slants out of it. Other than that an informative podcast.
Content: great, sound effects: awful

The content is great... The sound between news items is apalling! I flinched and almost dropped my coffee the first time I heard it 😬
Editorialism gone too far

Generally good quick tech news. Not sure where they find these hosts. Today’s commented on Apple’s latest ad with a minute long tirade about consumerism and Apple’s “disgusting” ad strategy. This is absolutely too far for a tech new podcast. Just give us the news please and let listeners for their own opinions.
Please bring the old TechCrunch back
