  • I love Waveform

    This is by far my favourite tech podcast. I really appreciate that you steer clear of politics or divisive topics and leave space for light hearted conversations about technology; that is what I like :) keep doing what you doing. Also I would be happy to pay for an ad free version of the pod.

  • why ads?

    the amount of ads and the quality of the content are quite imbalanced. for my taste at least. listening to an ad is a thing of the past. remember tv and radio. i think marques with his yt reputation doesnt need the extra few bucks he makes with spoken ads.( or does he idk) grabbing what you can, cash wise is, again in my mind not to the better for the image of a person. ( of public interest) there are so many so good and thoughtfull podcasts out there and they are ad free.

    i value his opinion a... more

  • Tech podcast?

    I listen to this podcast for your thoughts and news about tech. The trivia sections were already mildly annoying and drawn out at times, but the recent sports sections have just become unbearable. I genuinely don't know what percentage of your audience cares about basketball, especially for international listeners I can tell you that we really don't. It's making this podcast more and more difficult to listen to

  • I really like it.

    I’m 13 and I listen to this every morning when I get ready for, and bike to school as well as when I run. It’s amazing and surprisingly informative whilst also being fun to listen to.
