  • Very Far left political podcast now

    Used to love this podcast but now is far left political nonsense. Unbelievably uniformed sheep now with less tech talk. Trust the “science”. HHS finally is using actual Science.

  • “Look”

    I like the show, but Will begins almost every other sentence with “Look”

  • This show has filled a “Car Talk” shaped hole in my life.

    Just a wonderful podcast. These guys are fun and easy to listen to. I’m not always the most tech savvy guy, and if I’m being honest, I don’t always understand everything they’re discussing. But it’s always a fun time and I usually walk away from an episode having learned something, which is really cool. Reminds me of growing up listening to Car Talk with my dad. Just a couple dudes taking shop about stuff they love. Give it a try, I recommend it!

  • Used to Love It

    I really enjoyed the show until the latest episode where the episode essentially felt like an ad for a product. I brought that up to them on blueksky and Will responded by saying I should stop listening to them. If they don’t need me as a listener than I’m happy to take my time elsewhere.
