Once a week we get together in a studio somewhere in London to take the piss out of telecoms and technology for an hour or so.

  • Generally I good show

    - openings are too much not telcom but once you get to telcom it’s great

    - the discussion in Israel protests was interesting and I found myself, as a fellow white man, thinking how privileged your comments were. It’s easy to condemn protesters when we’ve literally had to fight for nothing.

  • Too long and not accessible for all

    I’m a woman who is about to start a job in telco. This podcast had some great titles but I found it totally inaccessible 1) it’s far too long and you have to sift through lots of inane chat before you get to any useful content 2) the inane chat is centred around things like football which makes it extremely off-putting to someone like me who is not interested in football. It’s a shame as it could be very useful if properly edited and if a wider audience was considered in its creation.

  • Mostly great!

    Really informative when the hosts stick to their area of expertise, I.e. telecoms. Not so great when they veer into adjacent subjects like net neutrality or Sec 230, their lack of in-depth knowledge in those areas becomes quickly apparent. The best episodes are when they bring on execs from telecoms companies.
