  • Inconsistent

    It’s great when I get to hear them, but it seems there is a new reason for them to take a break every month. It’s September 8th and their last episode was posted a month ago on August 8th. It’s just frustrating when you’re told it’s a weekly thing and then it’s inconsistent to this degree. Consistency is key for your audience

  • No-nonsense, engaging and insightful

    The Hardware Unboxed guys are fun to listen to. I like their no-nonsense ripping into dumb commenters. And they are engaging and insightful. The "Our Boring Lives" segment is sweet.
