Customer Reviews
Smart on tech stuff
Smart on tech stuff but fawning over Apple responses to a “pandemic” that is no longer is getting tiresome.
Static is better
If you like the ramblings of two uninformed elitist liberal progressives, this show is for you. Listened to it for years, but since Elon Musk had the audacity to support free speech via his Twitter purchase, these two have come down with a variant of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They cannot stop talking about how dumb Elon is and how smart they are. When they do actually talk about tech, Jeff is prepared and Bryan never is. Rest of the show is spent getting Bryan up to speed, unless they are pushing his hack new book. Jeff fawns over the book like some Faulkneresque groupie. Yes, Media Matters is an evil organization. I am done….deleted
Listener for countless years
Since the word Apple was removed from the title of context machine. The guys seem more free to bring in left-wing political stuff. Haven’t decided if I’m dropping the whole podcast or just turning it off when they start that crap. I don’t need the “Fk Twitter” rants. I think Musk did a great job, exposing what was going on in the background. We need to know when the government is getting into the bowels of things and creating pressure no matter which side it is. Have fun on Mastodon guys. You’re about to lose a listener. And from your comments, you don’t care.
