  • Can you go back to the old format?

    Sorry Nate and Ian but I’m just not enjoying this new format. Was excited to see the pod return but after listening to the first couple of episodes I miss the old format. The news sections were great. Any chance we can go back to that? Sadly will be unsubscribing ☹️

  • Real World UK Tech News

    There’s very little coverage of U.K. technology news and issues.

    All the major tech companies and their associated press releases are well represented in the tech press and in a plethora of podcasts.

    This is a blunt, insightful and funny podcast between two very knowledgeable hosts covering real world news and issues in the UK.

  • No, but I insist.

    You must listen.

    They are funny, they are quirky and, yes, the talk a bit about tech.

    UK centric, mostly, which is why should listen if you're in Canada or the US. It's good to get another point of view other than our ridiculous non-regulated, “disruptive” billionaire-grifter focused one.
