  • Do some actual reporting

    Ever since the host change over, overall quality of this show has gone down. Plus, there are way too many ads now. It’s especially annoying when shows like this have people talk on issues they clearly know nothing about but rather just regurgitate what ever is popular to say on the internet in the moment. Worse yet, one of the regulars has a voice that sounds like nails on a chalk board. I have to skip the show entirely anytime they come on and get into this “won’t someone listen to me” mode.

  • Quality has gone down with new hosts

Since Jonathan left, there’s been a notable lack of variety in the topics of TechStuff. It feels more like a podcast about AI with the occasional cool tech topic sprinkled in.

    I started listening when Jonathan was the only host, and the variety and depth of his episodes were always refreshing. Especially the technical episodes where he’d talk abo... more
