  • Interesting (but with production issues

    I very much enjoy listening to this podcast as it deals heavily in Windows software and hardware, which many other Windows podcasts have abandoned. But, Y’ALL NEED TO FIX THE AUDIO LEVELS! Compared to the 5-10 other podcasts I listen to, the Windows Central Podcast is either way too quiet or Dan’s audio will go up and down the whole show (maybe the Nvidia audio software is playing games?). Either way, create content, just please fix the audio.

  • Not like the old days.

    Great other than the Musk Derangement Syndrome. Guys, grow up. We don’t care that you don’t like Twitter or Musk. Like Dan often says for others, your fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders is product. We come here for Windows and tech news. Do that well and you’ll be the most successful.
