  • Approachable & Informative

    I wouldn’t normally choose to listen to a tech podcast but I feel it’s important to stay informed about the rapid changes going on in technology and society. I love this podcast because it’s approachable, informative and entertaining. I appreciate the presenters explaining things for the beginner so even non-tech oriented people can keep up. The conversational style makes it easier to listen to. Keep up the great work BBC!

  • Can we keep the politics out of it? Just the facts!

    You have a great concept for a show, but can you keep politics out of it? I grow weary and am tired of hearing it in everything!

  • Is this show a concession to Trump’s lawsuit?

    Love the BBC the products and the service, but this show seems to be a hard turn from the journalistic integrity to which I’ve grown accustomed.

    The show’s primary objective seems to legitimize Trump and the CCP Strangle hold of the US democratic process. Primarily they allude to real issues in developed economies, but hammer home on red-herrings to trivialize the threats of IP theft and normalize the practice of buying veiws online or buying elections with bitcoin securities.

  • Smart, entertaining, informative

    I’m impressed with the range of issues discussed. Reasonably deep without becoming incomprehensibly nerdy. Great chemistry among the panelists, who are humorous without the hypercaffeinated glossolalia so common among the other tech podscasters- no constant repetition of “like” and “super”.

    One quibble: might the resurgence of wired headphones be the result of the availability of music in hi-res formats? Bluetooth doesn’t really support hi-res. Much as I love my AirPods, Apple Music sounds vas... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are we entering a world without screens?
Q: How might synthetic polling change political outcomes and trust in polling?
Synthetic polling could massively increase sample sizes and granularity, potentially improving statistical power, but it also risks misrepresenting real human opinions, introducing bias if the synthetic respondents do not accurately reflect diverse communities.
Are we entering a world without screens?
Q: What are the regulatory gaps around these clipping campaigns?
California requires disclosure for paid political content, but there is a regulatory gap between the FTC and the FEC, who would handle consumer protection and election advertising respectively. This means some clipping campaigns can operate with limited oversight.
Are we entering a world without screens?
Q: What is clipping and why is it becoming more prominent in political campaigns?
Clipping is a gig-economy-based practice where people create short clips from longer videos or podcasts, post them with targeted distribution, and get paid per thousand views. It has grown because it can cheaply amplify messages and appear organic, though it risks misleading audiences about popularity or support.
