  • Good, when they leave politics out of it.

    When the three of them are dialed right in, it's a pretty great show.

    But, I can't stand Marcos TDS. We get it there you libertarian warrior. Leave politics, gender etc. out of a tech podcast.

  • Political Doom

    There’s too much negativity in the last few episodes.

  • noticeable decline

    Show quality has declined over the last two years. Marco is checked out after a botched Overcast update and other life interests; he never prepares for the show and it’s just an endless stream of negativity. Casey’s contributions used to be grounded but not so anymore. John still delivers but he desperately needs a foil who can challenge him.

    Love these boys and hope they can reflect on the quality of their latest episodes.

  • Oh look, Marco’s complaining again …

    And Casey’s piling on! (Drinking game: take a swig whenever Casey calls something Apple says or does “gross.”) While John’s pedantry used to essentially be played for laughs, the Hypercritical One is now the only sane member of the triumvirate reining in his two cohosts when they go off the rails. In a recent episode, for instance, Marco basically stated that Apple canceling Epic’s European developer account is a warning to all developers to not badmouth Apple, lest you too lose your developer a... more

  • I’m so tired of the negativity

    Apple is bad, Tim Cook is bad, everything is underwhelming, and so on. I love this podcast and I love these guys, but I'm sad to see them slowly turning into angry old men (with John being the least offender).

    Where is the enthusiasm and excitement? Where is the positivity? Where is the glass half full mindset?
