  • Horrible Podcast

    Had to unsubscribe from this podcast - this is suppose to be a tech podcast,but the horrible insertion of political points of views are intolerable.The presenters of this podcast even acknowledge the poor ratings of this podcast on Apple Podcasts due their political opinions - some free advice,maybe listen to the feedback from listeners that have to consume your podcast.

  • Incredibly factual Tec review show, lots of fun too.

    I have listened to Davindra on his other podcast “Filmcast podcast” where he is hysterical. It’s fun to see him on a serious show, however he takes Engadget to the next level.
