Good conversations
12/30/2011
I like how Emily and Farhad come to most questions from completely different directions. They have good discussions and give mostly good advice in the end. My only wish was if the podcast went a bit longer. They should tackle two or three questions a week and go for 20-30 minute podcast. These podcasts under 10 minutes are almost not worth it.
Waste of time

The hosts pride themselves on disagreeing with each other and still neither of them come up with good advice. Neither of them seem to understand the question half the time. They are judgements land spend too much time on confused tangents.
Bad Tech, Bad Etiquette
06/10/2013
This podcast is the reason I switched from subscribing to the Slate Daily Podcast to only subscribing to specific Slate feeds. These two often don't understand the technology they're speaking about and usually have dated or just irrational opinions about what etiquette should be applied to the technology they're discussing.
Downhill Fast

I'm sure both Farhad Manjoo and Emily Yoffee are wonderful in their individual roles, but covering the subject of digital manners they both seemed to go off track. Fahad makes the mistake of assuming his preferences and expectations of the internet are the same thing as manners and Emily fails to take him to task when he goes awry. If you're looking for manners, you'd be better served relying on a more traditional source and adapting it yourself.
