Customer Reviews
Casual and Fun
A surprising favorite. I'm always happy to see this in my feed. Not cranked up, like so many podcasts. Low key conversation with a slight tech focus.
love this show
I love this show. I have been a long time podcast listener and even teach documentary radio at my college, but (gulp!) I never listened to this show, even though (truth!) David Spark is my brother. I thought it would be "too" technical for me. Not so. It's a huge amount of fun. It's all the fun of being with my brother and his very funny friends without him teasing me. (Well, most of the time he doesn't tease me in this podcast.) I learn a lot about the week's tech news and silly news. Have a listen!
Even Steve Miller Would Love It!
We've all been waiting for that perfect podcast that blends the latest nerdy technology gossip with a smattering of delightful pop culture references. This podcast has it all. Knowledgeable yet funny hosts, frequent references to Steve Miller, debates about The Muppets, brush with fame anecdotes, and questionable lead stories. All in a family friendly format! I can't wait to listen every week. And not just because I'm waiting for them to mention my name.
