  • Used to be good then he got political

    the new hosts started off good but the show has become a directionless mess. It’s a pseudo-news show with hardly any “tech” in it. Just throwing in your opinion about AI once in a while doesn’t make it a tech show. I used to listen weekly even as the last host turned it into a political soap box, but I’m done now. You ruined a good thing.

  • I love the podcast content and hosts, but the ads are atrocious. This is true with all iHeart podcasts but seems worst with this one. Literally just had a ~3 minute commercial break, a 2 minute outro/credits, followed by another full commercial break before the end of the episode. The ad/content ratio is unacceptable.

  • Worse with new Hosts

    Way too many ads now and the episode topics feel much less relevant and more “forced”
