Customer Reviews
bad sound, good content
While the sound quality has inproved sometimes the host's voices "drop out" and they get hard to hear. Also they have a tendancy to get off topic but over all a good informative up to date tech podcast!
A fun tech podcast
A relaxed and fun group discussion of a wide range of computer/technology related topics. Perhaps a little too relaxed at times, but by in large they manage to be both entertaining and informative at the same time. They keep things casual and don't get overly 'techy' so you don't need to be a computer expert to follow the discussions. It's an enjoyable show each week and one I recommend subscribing to.
Information and entertainment
Overall this is a good podcast. It has a pretty good amount of tech news and sums up a lot of the PC World articles. It also occasionally makes me chuckle a bit, which is nice compared to monotone newscasting, and the host Robert does a very good job. Only complaint is there is some voice fading, but it is improving.
