Comfort Zone
Christopher Lawley, Matt Birchler, and NiléaneComfort Zone is a podcast that pushes its hosts outside of their, well, comfort zone. Every week, each host will bring new technology they've tried to the show to discuss whether it worked and how it pushed them out of their comfort zone. Then, at the conclusion of each episode, one of the hosts will issue the dreaded challenge to the others to try something new, and perhaps even something they mi... more

United States2 months ago - A refreshing take on a podcast
I used to listen to a lot of podcasts, but have mostly fallen out of favor with most of them. Comfort Zone and their subscriber-only Cozy Zone have remained.
All 3 hosts bring a very different energy to the podcast.
Chris is the organized Apple tech nerd, Matt loves diving deeper into tech topics and bullying Chris with Android. And finally Niléane manages to keep the both of them grounded and brings less technical topics to the show.
It‘s this mix that I appreciate and I couldn’t imagine the po... more

Germany4 months ago - Niléane vs. Literally Everything
I actually liked the concept at first, but after a few episodes the same pattern kept creeping in: Niléane is constantly mad about something, and it really drags the whole thing down. Every topic turns into a complaint… and the moment politics pops up, it’s just exhausting.
Apple Podcasts1SashkaBUnited States4 months ago - 2 great hosts…
unfortunately one of them is one of the most boring, bland, constantly annoyed sounding host I have ever heard in a podcast. It’s been a year, they haven’t changed at all. If anything they sound as if they would love to do something else right now instead of recording a podcast. It’s not even like they have anything of importance to say. We got it. You have no money and it’s the billionaires fault.
Apple Podcasts1Moomintroll_IVGermany5 months ago - Nileane is just not it
I really don’t see any meaningful reason as to why Nileane is there. Always sounds annoyed, tiring to listen to, nothing of interest to say, no real expertise on the topics… ruins an otherwise great show. I skip these segments entirely now.
