What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Josh and Richard are great guys to listen to, have a really good rapport, and are very knowledgeable. I started listening when the focus of the show was Windows Media Center and Microsoft entertainment products and despite all of us having since moved on from those groundbreaking apps, I still find myself tuning in every week and joining the live chat when I can. Great show and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is the one podcast I look forward to the most, every week. Lots of helpful information, and no ads! If you are into digital media and home entertainment even a little bit, this is the podcast for you.

I’ve been listening to this one for a while now and it’s still great. Though the focus is clearly on Microsoft-related entertainment technologies, they do cover non-MS entertainment news/technology as well. Josh and Richard have good chemistry which, combined with the good content, makes for a very enjoyable podcast.

GraffVyndaK · Dec 2014

Excellent resource for WMC users and fans. However, with the lack of WMC development their subject matter has expanded into xbox, windows, and windows phone. As long as they keep covering WMC, I'm loyal and happy listener.
