Command Line Heroes

I just finished the entire series and I bawled at the end of the final episode. This podcast has been near and dear to my heart as a technology enthusiast who loves coding, game development and cybersecurity. I’m going to miss it because Saron Yitbarek did such an amazing job as the host. My favorite season by far is season 6, but there’s something special throughout. Red Hat truly created something special here. Until next time, cheers to you Command Line Heroes!

This podcast reminds me of Mr. Ballen’s “strange, dark, and mysterious” stories — but tech edition. It’s a very well done exploration of past tech “horror” situations — and what the protagonists did to identify, understand, contain, and vanquish them. Great stuff!

I absolutely love this podcast. Especially the fact that they are bringing to light inventors who were never recognized for their work.

This valuable and interesting content is presented in such an approachable, consumable, applicable, and fun way. I love Saron’s style of narration — blending stories and interviews — bringing drama and intrigue to these tech tales and concepts! I find the whole show really engaging and impossible to tune out or turn off. I am so grateful for this podcast as a go-to supplement to my tech education! Thanks and keep up the incredible work.

I so want to listen to every podcast from this show. But the host’s vocal delivery is so exaggerated and affected that it’s unlistenable. This is too bad, because when the host interviews people in a normal conversation, she shows that she does have a more normal way of talking in real life. Unfortunately the scripted parts of the show are delivered in an over-the-top sing-song manner.

While the treatment of the history of computing gets a fair amount of depth with plenty of voices chiming in on the important waypoints along that fabulous tapestry. the host’s overall narration and delivery ruins the entire experience. She’s too sprightly and too upbeat, making the content feel less like an exposition of the facets of technical subjects and more like advertising—but not just advertising to people in tech, but advertising to children. The host would make a great pre-school teacher! But as a podcast host? Not so much. Could only stomach two episodes before I unsubscribed.
