Love this show. Tells you how tech really impacts your life. Also tells stories from all over the world. Love the presenters, knowledgeable and friendly. This is my favourite tech podcast. Highly recommended.

Tech stories you won't hear anywhere else and no gadgets or toys.
Technology is fundamentally intertwined with the way we live. This is the only show which appreciates that.
Presented with clarity and a lightness of touch, true expertise able to provide clear and meaningful analysis. The show rises far above the parroting of tech marketing hype common to other shows obsessed with business angles.
Tech is part of culture and this show gets it!
Hearing tech stories that aren’t reported anywhere else and a different take on mainstream tech from a global perspective. Nothing else like it out there. Highly recommended, great listen and very good sound.
