  • Gave another chance to this Has-Been Tech Podcast

    Just over a year ago I reviewed the TechFan podcast, expressing disappointment at how poor the show had become - especially since co-host Cohen came on the scene.. Checked back in now to see if things had changed for the better (I really DID like the show once). Sorry to say... no improvement whatsoever. Frankly, I'm surprised they still have an audience. Checking out again. Here us my review from last year: "This podcast used to be great. As was sister show, “The My MAC Podcast” (now sadly, not... more

  • Tech? Fan. More like Cranky Geeks

    Tim has gotten too opinionated where any other opinion need to be validated by him.

    I have it a year or longer. Thank goodness Guy and Gaz took over the MyMac Podcast.

  • One of the best

    This is one of the few podcasts I listen to weekly. I always enjoy the conversation and the topic base is broad in tech and not just one topic. Listener feedback is encouraged and always part of the show.

  • Podcast with Attitude

    I've been enjoying this podcast for over a year. These guys showcase a different spin on technology. While a lot of the topics are Apple related, these aren't your typical "Apple can do no wrong" podcasters. They also stray off into other vaired topics which are normally tech related but can also be opinions and rants on politics, entertainment or anything else that comes up. I love the comparisions that I hear between American and British points of view on those subjects. These guys feel like t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TechFan 506 - AI Gadgets and iPads
Q: So do you think if Apple comes out with, whether it's this next event or farther down the road, with the M4 and the AI capabilities that it's supposedly going to have, do you think that kills these products immediately?
Yes, because why would you want the inconvenience of something separate? Unless they've got some other unique selling point, the only one I could think of is privacy.
TechFan 512 - To Innovate or Not
Q: Why is nobody disrupting the smartphone market the way that Intel was disrupted?
Many competitors are hesitant to take risks and innovate, opting to mimick Apple's successes instead, resulting in a lack of disruption in the market.
