  • On balance ...

    Andrew has some obvious flaws but many , many strengths (depth-of-knowledge, style, clear-speaking, engaging ...).

    On balance a clear benefit to the podcasting world.

    Keep up the great work.

  • Great…but Mr Keen should learn to listen more.

    Great guests, interesting questions, however Mr Keen should learn to listen and let his guests finish their sentences. He compulsively interrupts his guest, it’s distracting.

    Nonetheless a great show, wide ranging subjects, and great guests.

    Bonus, the “That Was The Week”, episodes with Mr Keith Teare are some of the best tech overviews in podcastland.

This is so deeply deeply offensive and wrong. How dare he. For anyone who has lost a while this is such an absurd and cruel opinion. Disgraceful. Immediate unfollow. ... more

    Great guests, interesting questions, however Mr Keen should learn to listen and let his guests finish their sentences. He compulsively interrupts his guest, it’s really frustrating and distracting.
