- Interesting, funny, wholesome
Dave and Glen are always a pleasure to listen to - the perspective and the stories bring some much needed levity to a technology zeitgeist that can feel a bit dark lately. Always happy to see another episode pop up just in time for my commute.

United Statesa month ago - Strangely fascinating
Dave has a wealth of knowledge on all things IT, no surprise considering his Microsoft background.
He openly discusses his autism though I can't say it hasn't remotely affected
his sense of humour, if anything it's
enhanced it.
I do frequently find him amusing as are
some of his Microsoft anecdotes.
Won't pretend I understand much about the subject material but I am finding
it educational, and rather entertaining.
Definitely worth a listen
