Customer Reviews
I <3 The Conversation
Great, great podcasting. Just love it, Dan. Keep it up!
Great show
Love all of the 5by5 output. Very intesting discussions about technology and related businesses. Dan is an excellent host. Found the first two shows a bit long, but seems to have settled in well. Look forward to more.
Easy listening
Well it's a nice to listen to podcast. I usually put the on during work hours to drown out the usual "did you watch eastenders last night" talk. But it gives a load of easy to digest information, would def recommend!
