I’ve been listening to the HD TV and Home Theater podcast for at least 15 years- since they were releasing 2x a week. Ara and Braden share useful news, updates, and insights along with practical advice. It’s a fun show, not dry or clinical. If you’re into home theater or home automation you need to give this podcast a try.
I love this show! I’ve learned so much just listening to you guys every Friday. My wife even listens from time to time.
I wish less BB bottom or Boomy voice, hard to heard what he is saying. Very Interesting but hard to hear.
I’m a newer listener and just getting more into home theater. Ara and Braden are fantastic hosts with a great rapport and break everything down in an understandable and entertaining way. I’ve already learned quite a bit from the show. Highly recommended!
I've been listening to these guys since the beginning in 2005! Love the podcast and don't miss an episode! They are like part of the family!
