    It’s nice to see (and hear) that this show is back! I’ve been listening since The New York Times days and the hosts continue to be smart, well informed and very funny.

  • The OG Pop Tech Jam is back and I am delighted! JD and Pedro (El Kaiser!) have been informed observers of the pop-culture and technology worlds for decades. They actually know things! And the chemistry between them is completely engaging. Remember "Buzz Out Loud"? Yeah it's like that! Give it a listen!

  • Welcome Back!!!!

    Welcome back PTJ!!!!!!

    Glad to have you back in my ear buds after your hiatus.

    J.D. and El Kaiser deliver the news about PopCulture, Tech and other current events the other shows won’t touch or go way toooooo loooooong about.

    Just the snippets we want to hear and in the right amount, delivered with the journalistic professionalism Cronkite and Murrow and the dead pan comedic timing of Abbott and Costello (yes, I am old).

    Looking forward to all you shows in your Next Gen phase.

    Give a listen and... more
