Customer Reviews
Awesome overview of all things audio
Entertaining, educational and way too under-the-radar. Go. Listen. Now.
So good you'll want to listen with both ears
I listen to this podcast on my commute to work. The quality of the sound editing is superb with seamless overdubbing of examples and surprise pop-song samples from the 80's. Notice little details like how they added the title of each episode into the podcast's icon album artwork. The pace of the breezy episodes makes you want to hear more, so I looked for the older episodes on O'Reilly' website. I like their mission of helping people be more creative with tech. These are people who seem effortlessly creative.
excellent
best podcast for technology. worth the download unlike all the other crap
