Love these guys!

Update for 2020: still my favorite podcast. I’m an unabashed superfan. I always learn a little something and laugh a lot.

Update for 2018: new year, same great show. Funny, informative, smart. I feel like I'm in the company of great friends every time I listen to an episode.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Chris, Robb, and Rod strike the perfect conversational tone - I feel like I'm in the room with them. Beer and chicken wing episodes are my favorites.

Still here!

The guys keep me entertained and informed. It’s good mix of tech and regular life every week. They have good group of regular guest to keep things fresh. I also have to hand it to them on their TV show recommendations. I listen every week and I can only say that about one other podcast.

Update: It's over a year since I first reviewed this podcast and I'm still listening every week. Great show!

I'm dropping another update. Jan 2017 and this is still one of my favs. I listen weekly without fail and do recommend you give them a try.

June 11th 2020! I'm not listening to podcast like I used to but SMR is still in the rotation. Once things get back to normal (COVID-19) I'll pick up some of the pods I recently broke up with and some I've found I can do without. This podcast is informational and entertaining enough that it's a mainstay. Give it a listen.

Dope!

I really dig listening to these guys. Different perspective from other tech podcasts. It is welcomed! Plus just fun.
