  • Too much “You Might Also Like”

    Most of the episodes are interesting (yes, Red Delicious apples are NOT delicious - they are mealy and flavorless - so I wondered why they are everywhere), but today I finally gave up and unsubscribed because I’m tired of deleting all the spam they keep dropping. I will download actual episodes if/when it occurs to me to check for them.

  • This podcast needs to be “Hyperfixed“…

    The original concept of this podcast and the first few episodes were great, but now it seems like they’ve run out of “things to fix“ and are now just throwing anything against the wall to see what sticks. This show has definitely fizzled out. We don’t need all these “Bonus“ episodes where you feature other random podcasts that we don’t care about. If you don’t have a new episode to push out this week then that’s fine, but you don’t need to push these random “filler“ episodes into our feeds just ... more

  • Enjoyable show!

    Definitely worth checking out Hyperfixed! Not every episode is a blast - but what podcast is perfect? People spend a lot of time comparing Alex and PJ to their old podcast, so I'd go in with an open mind and get ready to learn something fun! I loved the recent apple episode as well as the Shopify Arms Race and the Missouri license plate cabal. Such fun auditory trips :)
