  • Informative, but lost in the weeds occasionally

    I love listening to this podcast to cover tech news blindspots and to get extra perspective on trends. Excellent personality and chemistry on display here.

    I used to be a huge LTT Fan and would defend them vigorously. I would look forward to wan shows and every video posted. It gave me something to look forward to and I genuinely enjoyed videos.

    HOWEVER. That has changed with the recent jet controversy. Not because they had a jet but because of how Linus has conducted himself on forums (see Reddit)

    Linus please take time away from the internet and social media…

My TV Demo Failed - WAN Show January 16, 2026
Q: How do you make yourself get back to something that you enjoy, but your head rarely lets you make time for them?
