Customer Reviews
Great podcast
I love this podcast. It's such a great podcast that keeps you updated on the latest tech news. Keep it going guys!
Horribly boring hosts - “some call center somewhere”
I don’t know if it’s something about being in the Midwest but they’re not very dynamic speakers. The hosts lack the proper intonations and self reflectivity to be good pod cast hosts. The shows drone on and on.
Garbage sounds
Bunch of hot air escaping out of these guys faces. Josh Walrath is a racists troll, the rest can’t communicate a thought in anyway interesting or engaging.
