Just gets better & better
I’ve watched this show since it was Tech News Today, and it’s even better now than it was then.
Great Show
This show exemplifies your company moto. So look forward to hearing these friendly voices each week.
Yawn
I’m sure they are nice guys. But this could be the biggest monotone reporting and dialogue by nerds I’ve ever heard.
