  • Please no more titles

    Quite enjoy this adfomertial show and subjects are interesting enough. However the constant reference to the guests job title is irksome. Guess this is because they have paid to promote their product on the show?

    Actual content less than 50% . Constant plugging of sponsors also annoying.

  • Increasing number of Ads…

    I have listened to this Podcast since the beginning and am becoming more frustrated with the amount of advertising and guests peddling their wares and/or services but unfortunately this is the business model of podcasting now…

  • Solving Problems April 9

    Hi Charlie, Although the show is really good for solving problems one thing I was disappointed and was the SSD being put into a laptop and pulled out and you did not solve that problem you passed it on to tech2 it would’ve been nice to give us a couple of options of solving that particular problem because it happens with a lot of people and including me and I end up formatting the SD or SSD Drive .

    Common problem would have been nice if you helped to solve this. Is it that’s hard to explain?

  • Life and Technology

    The podcast is not the Life and Technology show (The House of Wellness was streaming).

    This seems a bit ironic that a tech show isn’t available where it should be :)

    Come on 2GB get your act together - this is not the first time this has happened.
