  • Love the show

    Useful info and advice, plus fun stuff, all explained in a way that demystifies the tech jargon for non-techies like me. I never miss an episode and really appreciate the handy ‘show notes’. So thank you, Alan and Brian, and all your guest experts. You are truly appreciated!

  • Always interesting

    Like how the show is audience centric. I’m happy to hear what the average person is doing. I get asked questions about computers from friends. And your show a lot of the time has talked about an update or something I can pass along. I encourage others to listen to your show! Great job!

  • Tech or cameras?

    Seems like this has become Camera Talk more than tech but then cell phones are more camera than phone nowadays. If you’re not into photography it’s often pretty boring listening to the hosts drone on about stuff you don’t understand. There’s still the odd call-in being told to switch it off and switch it on again. Not the show it used to be.
