Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • I'm giving 5 stars for Fevzi but that Eddie Nestor is such a pain in the arse that I nearly cancelled this podcast.

    I know he's not on every podcast, thank goodness, but I want to hear about technology, not about some pumped up DJ's ideas on the future of the human race.
