Customer Reviews
Soon to be a favorite among my podcasts
I'm very impressed with this podcast so far. CNET has lots of discussion of tech events as they happen, and lots of summary of events of the week, but they didn't have anything like this. It feels like the Washington Weekly of the tech world. I'm definitely looking forward to this podcast continuing and would recommend the video version over the audio version.
