Customer Reviews
good stuff
generally these guys do interesting stuff.
the occasional dud episode & a pity things sometimes need to be trivialised and slightly dumbed down for the imbecile masses, but keep up the good work
Really informative. I’ve / Ive confusions galore!
I love to get up to date with the tech and the business and politics of tech companies. The Johnny Ive episodes were interesting with the occasional confusion and double take with statements like “I’ve been very impressed with the products Ive worked on”! (Not actual quote)
Very informative
I listen to this every week and on the whole I think it’s very good
