Artwork for Grumpy Old Geeks

We dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl. No mercy, no filter—if tech had a walk of shame, this would be it.

  • A long long time ago, in a Los Angeles far far away

    It is a dark time for technology. Although box tops has been destroyed, technology has driven developers from their hidden bases. Evading the narcissistic tech bro's, a small group of freedom fighters led by Jason DeFillippo, Brian Schulmiester, and Dave Bittner have established a podcast in a desperate search for sanity. The evil lord Dickh Musk obsessed with destroying everything good about technology has dispatched billions of dollars into t... more

  • Doomcast

    Jason and Brian grump through the episodes pointing out the fails and nonsense in tech - and, at times, also politics - in a very entertaining way. It's very comforting that mild and educated Dave Bittner gives this Doomcast a furry human touch from time to time.

    A Must-Listen since years!

  • Pleasant find

    Note: uBlockOrigin is not AdBlocker.

    It is a free extension that blocks trackers, popups, and can even be used to remove Google’s stupid AI Overview that is being shoved down our throats. And it is/has always been free.

  • Best Saturday Morning Show

    Don’t usually write reviews, but as sat waiting in a queue, I might as well do something sort of useful.

    I have a backlog of many shows to listen but this is the one that jumps to the top of list every Saturday morning.

    As an even more grumpy, slightly older, tech nerd this is a great pod, well worth a listen.
