  • Just end it

    After a decade, this show has become a circle-jerk of liberals, and hat’s why it’s not making money. Therefore, it is time to say goodbye and unsubscribe.

  • The Best Tech Podcast I know of!

    I listen to a bunch of tech podcasts, and This Week in Tech has the right flow and the right energy. It keeps me engaged all the way through. There’s a huge amount of material to cover each week, so each (weekly) episode is long, but so worth it!
