  • Nice casual tech talk

    It's really nice to listen in on simply two people having a conversation about their every day tech use. Whether it’s Apple products, streaming services or the odd meme or two.

  • Well produced and interesting show

    This is a very well produced podcast cutting across tech, games, a bit of current tech news. I’ve listened to 2 episodes and it is already pretty polished. If you like tech with a bit of development talk thrown in, you should try this one.

    Update - Ruminate is now my go to podcast for in depth and hard hitting reports on plastic bags. Can't get enough plastic bag information as far as I'm concerned. Serioulsy though, this continues to be a solid podcast.
