  • Super nova?

    Thank you for this podcast, and don’t let your light either dim or go out due to those 60% who, also gave the highest star level, evidentally didn't mean it. I'm pretty sure x'shard to make one of these casts, and for those who are bl/visually impaired, I'm sure it's even more prep work. I was hoping, however, that you, Kim, would've said whether the SoundCore glasses could; used like you'd use OrCam My Eye/EnVision AI glasses.

    Kim needs to stop trying to be funny or witty and most importantly she needs to stop her giggling.

  • How much I love the podcast

    This podcast is very intuitive. It’s very helpful to me. Me being a beginning technology user was really excited when I found this podcast. I think that Chris is very delightful being the leader of the podcast, and Kim is very silly girl. At least, in my opinion. Lisa is somewhat serious but still delightful. Overall, I think that is the best podcast I have ever listen to in my entire life.

  • Kim giggles too much and should let others on team talk more!

    Lisa is full of wisdom—no nonsence. Is Chris just tolerating the ladies? He really is a gadget guy. May need to add on an extra room to home or buy a bigger place if he keeps it up. But it is all interesting and informative. Keeps me coming back! :-)

    Chris knows his tech. He has a great voice, and can explain and demonstrate how to do something very clearly. The audio quality is excellent and is a joy to listen to.

    Keep the podcasts coming Chris and good luck with your new endeavor with Mystic Access, I wish you all the best!
