  • Great Potential

    I like what they are trying here but the interviewer are so amateurish in their questions and distracting affirmations. So much wasted potential here.

  • Need professional hosts

    This could be a fantastic podcast if I didn’t have to sit and listen to the host, grunting and affirming with “mm-hmm, yeah, right” which is distracting to the point that I can’t listen anymore

  • Grace Hopper episodes

    Wow! I am so glad I found the Grace Hopper episodes. It’s amazing and sad that she warned us about the dangers of big data and big tech back in 1982. If only the U.S. believed our best and brightest women, we might have had a federal privacy law and might now be under constant surveillance by Meta and others. Fascinating.
