I first started listening to GOG in my twenties. I just turned 41.. 😐
No regrets, 5 stars!

Apple Podcasts5*** Diabl0 ***United States22 days ago - Amazing podcast!
I started listening to Grumpy Old Geeks a couple of years ago. It quickly became one of my favorite podcasts! Jason and Brain bring us the headlines in the tech world and offer their opinions. As two people who have been in the tech world for a long time, they often offer insight for those of us who may not be fully tech savvy. Throw in some humor, grumpy rants and some nostalgia from their old tech days, you have yourself a great weekly listen. Keep up the great work!
