Customer Reviews
Well Worth a Listen
Update is certainly on the technical side of the app and design scene. With each episode being a collected discussion between the hosts on whatever the episode is about. Which is only two as of now, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
They've stripped back the bells and whistles other podcasts try to shove down our ear canals, and just have an intelligent conversation. Which is frankly, a breath of fresh air.
They're working on something they enjoy, and it shows in the product. I'll be waiting for more, and recommending it all the while.
Tought Provoking
I'm gonna open with this. Update Podcast covers some of the most interesting topics I've ever come across in a design podcast. Especially when the conversation jumps from general design talk, to the looming potential of an A.I. overlord. Two episodes in, and we're already on the inevitable Skynet talk.
All joking aside, these four gentlemen have a great understanding of their topics and craft. Which makes listening to them a pleasure. It's certainly early in their podcast career, but I'm hoping to hear more from them soon. You can certainly tell when a host has a passion for their subject matter, and these guys have it in spades.
More Episodes
I have fully enjoyed every episodes. I hope that you will like it also. I request more episodes. Thanks Eden Agency.
