Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 249 ratings
  • Weak content and self-absorbed delivery

    The hosts seem think they are very funny and smart, but they come off as annoying. The content is a lot of “I really like this…” and “I like that…”, but very little on any useful details. All of this makes this a gigantic waste of time.

  • Entertaining and enlightening.

    I saw someone comment on ‘pointless waffle’ and had to step in. I love the ‘pointless waffle’! What’s the point of it all if we can’t stop to giggle every now and then. Good Clean Fun. If you want a lecture go to university, if you want an entertaining podcast on UX related topics then here’s your thing. Enjoy!

  • A Web Wonderland!

    Paul and his incredibly knowledgeable guests deliver nothing but value in each and every episode. Comprised of all the traditional things that make a web/tech/development show fabulous (deconstruction, innovation, etc.) coupled with authenticity and insight you won’t find anywhere else. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful show Paul - keep up the great work!
