- Overly Stylised
Hosts interject with commentary after every sentence a guest speaks. Irritating and distracting.

United Kingdom7 years ago - Love the show but!!
I really enjoy this podcast and enjoy the change up of having female narrators. But the editing you do where you put a loop on something you say like in the episode float “empty space” drives me crazy, get to the point!!!!! Lol otherwise amazing keep it up.

United States7 years ago - I really love this. A real grower.
I couldn’t get on with this to begin with but it quickly grew on my and I love it. I’ve re-listened to every single episode.

South Africa7 years ago - Editing
The choppy editing is incredibly irritating. What’s the point of the host saying a few words that are immediately repeated in guest recordings? It is needlessly repetitive and doesn’t add anything content-wise. I know this schizophrenic American-editing style is popular on podcasts, but I will never, ever understand why.
I was so excited to find a tech podcast hosted by women. I hope the editing improves so I can give it another crack and become a fan!

A really compelling listen, with brilliant viewpoints presented in a highly addictive way. The use of dialogue and sounds is worlds ahead of anything else.

Just amazing
Apple Podcasts5BigdavethehornUnited Kingdom8 years ago - Thanks Britt and Ellie!
I listen to this podcast when I begin to get discouraged with school. I am studying at UofT and sometimes the material gets dry and I don’t see the point in understanding a lot the material but, then I listen to your podcasts and they inspire me. Thanks so much for the interesting topics and creating a podcast that is unlike any other I’ve listened too!
