Customer Reviews
Worth a Listen
Just started listening to the show and I'm already loving it. Though most of the stories I've heard elsewhere, I'm a fan of the casual nature of the show. Worth a listen.
Breadth and Depth
Great job guys! The content is very well presented, you are each very knowledgeable on the topics you discuss. I listened to episode 3 first (just in case there are any kinks that get wroked out, which is so common), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The range of subjects was pretty solid (Security -->Web content management -->TV) and the detail and discussion was very helpful and interesting.
The sound quality seemed very good to me, and the structure (3 guys who can keep discussion going) is perfect. Keep it up!
A whole lot of fun (and informative)
I listened to the first episode last night, what a great time! It was like half of the conversations that I find myself randomly drawn into - but not "geek for geek's sake" - I really enjoyed hearing about the different versions of Avatar's 3D release and also about Home Brew for the Mac, something I need to try given my frustrations with Mac Ports. Great job guys, keep it up!
