- Complain much?
In Ep. 0, host says that, although he is annoyed and disgusted with the “tech oligarchs’” vision of the future, he wants to talk about things that make him happy, with a future that is “grounded in reality”. Then he proceeds to complain for an hour about the big bad tech bro, with zero talk about a realistic future. Only complaints. For an hour. The show’s premise has promise, but I don’t think the host can separate himself from his feelings or politics.

United States2 months ago - Electric sheep?
Adam Becker manages to go beyond the superficial in this rioting podcast which explores the morality and economy of the whims of Silicon Valley.

Host loves to hear himself talk, and will cut off guests as they get rolling to give his opinion on everything. Only listened to a handful of episodes and already heard the same points over and over. Has potential but needs more structure and a bit of hosting improvement.
