Alex is sorely missed!!! I’ll keep listening, but will be skipping forward a lot more often
Ugh. Already missing Alex’s perspective to balance out the panel. Please hire someone that can respectfully counter Andy and Leo’s strong opinions. Don’t want to listen to an echo chamber of opinion.
I have enjoyed this show since episode 1.
Without Alex Lindsay (He is going over to work for Apple), this show will never be the same. I found Alex a great counterpoint to the negativity of the host. His opinions and way of looking at the Apple Universe aligned closely with mine. This is nothing against Jason Snell (who I “love”, also) and Andy Ihnatko (who is very enjoyable, even if I often disagree with his opinions)… but this podcast will never be the same. I will see how the show moves forwa... more
This used to be a decent show, Alex is the only decent one now days. Andy is just a woke blowhard who just rambles on to make some strange analogy that takes 2 minutes to make a point. Almost falls down to people. Leo used to keep political content to a minimum but now he’s fallen into the trap. People continue to push away 1/2 the country. If I wanted to listen to politics I would choose a political podcast. I want to hear tech news.
Awesome show 🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
