  • Not about tech anymore

    This podcast is now about interviewing tech adjacent people about their human story not the tech itself.

  • Off track

    Used to love this show. Now it’s just a weekly news show that goes into too much detail about a select few news items rather actually presenting a weekly round up. No more “history of” of explanations of how tech things work or dives into tech companies etc sadly. New hosts are lovely, but not a fan of the new direction and I Hope they one day bring back the older style.
