It’s a testament to this show that I don’t use Android. I haven’t in ages and have no plans to change that, but they are easily one of the most fun listens I have every week. I still like to keep up with what’s going on with the platform, and Flo and Andy make that a joy to do.
Very enjoyable to listen to such knowledgeable reporters who are such good friends. I enjoy the rambling and gossip, and the very relatable disillusionment with the tech bro CEOS getting rich off the skilled labor of others.
Please pump up the volume on Flo’s mic, she is very soft-spoken during most of the show. I’d like to hear what she has to say without cranking the volume up, and then down whenever Andy speaks.
Neither host cares about this podcast. I thought the start of the Material One subscription (which I regretfully paid for a year of) would mean a more serious commitment to the show. I was so wrong. Flo is rarely there, leaving Andy to just ramble on with incoherent thoughts best left to himself. How about a guest co-host since she’s absent so often? I never learn anything or gain any insight on the supposed topic of the show anymore. Now Flo just takes a month off for “mental health” yet Andy s... more
I have always enjoyed listening to Andy & Flo while learning more Android and Google. But now every new show is turning into more of a political podcast. If I wanted to hear about politics there are plenty of other political podcasts, political social media posts, or news television to hear about this subject. I suggest that you change the description of your show and place it in the political category. This isn’t about my personal views about the left or the right side. This is just simply abou... more
Without fail the first 20 minutes of each episode buries the lead. I just want to hear about cool Google news which is what the show claims it is about.
And the hosts are so mortally afraid of anything that is not diverse, or inequitable, or problematic that they can barely stay on topic.
