  • Great Podcast

    I like how it is long (I’m 12 so I have a lot of time on the bus and stuff) and always interesting

    Only thing is that AI is bad for the environment

  • Awesome tech podcast but…

    These three men provide some of the best insights into modern day tech. Especially Apple. And not just hardware, software too. They’re also capable explaining most things in layman’s terms and are funny. But… the recent segments about sport watches drive me crazy. Please go to a different source like dcrainmaker.com to really get useful in-depth info about Garmin, Suunto, etc and how they perform against the Apple Watch when focusing on sports. For everything else this is a great podcast 😃

  • Politics not Tech

    Terrible and negative with politics. I listened a couple of times and quickly moved on to real tech podcasts. So long.
