Michael takes us all on a journey down the difficult road of making tech both enjoyable and relatable for those that may not know as much about these subjects as others. His manner gives space to any listener to find their comfort and learn. Another Gem by OGGN’s group of podcasts.

Michael is a great interviewer. He asks smart, interesting questions but never seems like he’s trying to look smart. The show always has great guests, covers a huge range of topics across O&G and though I know the space pretty well, I always learn something new from each episode. My only complaint is a compliment in work clothes: I wish the show was longer.
