  • It’s Okay

    Not a great podcast.

    It’s okay.

    I tried it because it was recommended because I listen to tech podcasts.

    I might listen once per week.

    I recommend you give it a try and see how it goes.

  • Former long time listener

    Listed to Ken for 18? years. This past January I had to stop because of his contempt of all things Trump. Now, I am NOT a trump fan but Biden and family f’ed up and gave us no viable option. Anyway, I don’t listen to tech podcasts for political commentary. I took a break for a few months and came back to Ken railing about the Trump admin 3 months later. I’m done, Ken. Take some of my donations and fix your teeth.

  • News and opinions

    I’ve listened to Ken for many years and have always enjoyed his witty take on all things Apple. With the things that are going on in the US lately, I truly appreciate Ken’s honesty and, frankly, bravery to stand up for what is right. Some may not like that, but I feel he’s taken a 5 star podcast and made it a 6 star podcast. Well, I’d give him the extra star if I could. Ken, you rock!

  • News/Opinion

    I have listened to this show since 2006. The show moved from news to “news/opinions” from financial analysts to more and more opinions and less news. I’m very disappointed in content over the last few years.
