Customer Reviews
Snarky, hilarious & sometimes even informative
This isn't a "serious" tech news show, nor is it meant to be. It is a snarky look at notable geeks, the personalities behind the geeks, what geeks are doing and where they are going. Mostly tech geeks but really anyone who obsesses about a subject is fair game. Zombies for example! Who doesn't love zombies? Also, another review complained of audio quality. The very first epsiodes had pretty crappy audio quality but now that they plug the mic in, it's worlds better. This video podcast perks up my day.
Replacement
It's a cool idae and it's very interesting information about different products and services but the video quality is not the best, in the latest episode the sound kept cutting in and out. Also, they need to get rid of that woman. She is pretty stupid and brings down the entire podcast and its interestingness. I don't know if I am learning something or becoming more stupid.
Not serious news. Very amateur
I subscribed to this video cast and downloaded a few back editions. All they did was BS about nothing. They used a fake interview theme to question guests and didn't present any useful information. It had a very amateur feel to it. Maybe it's supposed to, but I couldn't tell. I'm looking for serious tech news and this podcast didn't give that.
