Hi guys, I really do love your show but you’re popping so much on your mics that it’s kinda annoying and for TECH guys you should have that figured out so maybe talk over the mic or pull them away a little bit or make them not so hot, but it’s just all your p’s that are really popping. Keep up the great work and thank you so much 😊 This review was spoken in please forgive any typos

lmxica · May 2026

This is the first review I’ve ever left on a podcast. I’m a big fan of some of Alex’s previous interviews for the verge, so I thought I’d give this show a chance. As the title suggests, the first few interviews were pretty great. I really enjoyed the interview with Carl Pei. But since then it feels like this has become a place for corporations in hot water to come in and take control of the narrative or shill their terrible ideas. But also what did I expect from a podcast called access?

Michaelthatsit · Feb 2026

Too much preamble, interviews are weak and come off as ads. The latest episode is literally 33 min before the guest interview even starts. The hosts swear like middle schoolers, as in their diction is clumsy and does not add the emphasis they think it does.
