  • All good things must come to an end

    Really disappointed how much this show changed over the years. Tom was great as a solo act; Tom and Sarah were even better. Now we have a group D-list co-hosts that add zero value to the show, no guests, and an overwhelming ad load that for me, is nothing but the same ad over and over. The days that Tom does not co-host are utterly unlistenable. Instant skip. Jason needs to go. His shows are the absolute worst. It’s baffling that he does this professionally.

  • Political as usual

    Like most tech podcasts they don’t realize there is a market they lose by getting political all the time.
