    It’s obvious Mike puts extraordinary effort in covering salient topics and finding guests that are authentic and truly care about being a positive force in this space - the insights they bring to bear are still mind-blowing every. single. time.

  • Literally does not understand tech or the law

    Opines CONSTANTLY on the first amendment, understands nothing of how that works. Doesn’t understand how IP law works, nor CDA 230. Worthless site and worthless commenters. more

  • People that don't know tech, attempt to talk about tech. Painful to listen to.

  • Good niche podcast

    Episodes either go really deep into a specific topic or introduce a niche subgenre of tech policy. Mike seems weirdly uncomfortable with hosting at times, but he is pretty thoughtful.
