What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I found out about this show “post” ChatGPT moment in late 2022 and the show has really dug into the world of Artificial Intelligence. A great mix of technology and business. Covers topics in a pragmatic way. Not overly pessimistic or optimistic. The weekly banter between Alex and his cohost on Fridays is a great summary of the week that was. Lots of interesting and compelling guests from a variety of backgrounds on the mid-week show. One of the few shows I listen to immediately when it hits my podcast app.

Imaurer · May 2025

Host Alex is just SO good at his job as podcaster on the big tech developments and trends. He has thoughtful and articulate insights, important topics, and wonderful guests. His interviewing skills are top shelf excellent. My favorite tech podcast.

RustyDusty55 · Apr 2025

Good journalism. Higher value than other weekly pods. All In, Swisher, Galloway. On par with Odd Lots, and that’s a high high bar.

Tony Fraiche · Oct 2024

Both hosts offer sharp and fresh takes on current events in technology and tech businesses. Since randomly stumbling on this podcast I haven't missed an episode.

Eric Staples · Oct 2024

We strive to present a balanced view by showing a diverse range of reviews from Apple Podcasts.
