  • Found your show

    I stumbled upon this show while seeking tech shows that are run by black technologists. Political commentary aside, I think both of the hosts are very well informed about technology from the Apple side of things and in general. I appreciate their take on the Apple subjects and look forward to their continued success.

  • A nice political podcast

    Not too much in the way of Apple news, poorly researched more just a bunch of wandering political conversations

  • Great Show - Just One Suggestion

    Love this show. Both hosts are extremely knowledgeable. One bit of feedback: Nica, maybe watch the frequency of “ah” and “ums” or edit them out in the post. Otherwise, great job!!!

  • Tired, regurgitated takes

    There’s nothing original or insightful about this show. It’s the same analysis offered by others, only worse.
