  • Two Months of Repeats!

    I have listened to all 310 episodes. Except the repeats. The constant repeats without a clear warning that it is a repeat suggests a strong lack of conservation for your audience.

    I liked when you went in depth into the details of threats. But as many others have said. The political bias has been getting out of hand.

    I have unsubscribed. I cannot continue to waste my time starting a podcast just to realize it is a complete repeat. The mic drops were bad enough as they had some new and some o... more

  • Largely Written by AI

    I’m so tired of every podcast starting to sound the same: that ChatGPT cadence of three points, then a “not just this but that” and then a metaphor that has never been used before doesn’t really work. I’m afraid it grates on me so much that it’s making it hard to continue listening. Which is a shame, because the stories are really good.

    So much Ai slop they give credence too on this podcast

    I also wish they wouldn’t say cyber ever three seconds on this podcast. It’s so outdated. Give it a rest. You sound ignorant and like Trump just repeating nonsense.

    Also it’s “N-vidia” not “navidia.” You would think a technology podcast wouldn’t screw that up.
