I’m not in tech but I love the commentary of this show! I make sure to listen every week for the insights, advice and laughs!

I tend to stay in the center (sanity), and my views move the spectrum on different issues that make sense, common sense. You all however are very disingenuous. Just as bad as some of the other lunatic right/left wing crazies. You have an opportunity to really hammer home sanity and you chose far right trash. Smh.

And this covers that nicely along with media kerfuffles, smart and even handed commentary, tech whatever, etc.

This podcast is at its best when it unites the PW staff in skewering absurdity in tech and politics from each of their unique perspectives or in the (rare) occasion that one of the crew bravely pushes back on Solana and produces some listenable sparring in the process. The show is at its worst when it enforces ideological rigidity and you can hear the team choosing their next cautious words like hostages. The guy named Brandon doesn’t even seem to be paying attention most of the time and just stammers out some stilted agreement with his boss when called on. The vibe is either a comedic roast or the classroom of an over-caffeinated English teacher whose students are waiting for the bell to ring.
