What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Scott finds a wide variety of very knowledgeable and interesting guests to interview - a lot of luminaries from the industry have shown up over time. Scott also knows his stuff and gives great advice on "chatroom days".

Joec_2020 · May 2013

This is without a doubt the best home theater podcast out there, Scott is very passionate about the topic and is very knowledgeable, I seem to learn something new and useful in every episode, and he also has very interesting guests that bring in even more information on various video/audio/home theater topics. With every podcast we can learn from and with Scott, and for the reviews that say scott should keep his laughing and giggling to a minimum or edit them out.. I think that is part of the whole experience and its what makes the whole thing come together as a warm and friendly show but also with tons of information scott is being himself and it is perfectly fine! it is the way it should be. Thank You Scott keep em coming!!

Scott is an amazing host. He is very knowledgable and very enjoyable to listen to. He invites fantastic and knowledgable guests on the show. I look forward to this podcast every week.

Fufanuer · Dec 2011

Scott and HT Geeks have consistently provided top-notch guests and interviews. Most tech podcasts have me checking the clock to see when they'll be done prattling. HT Geeks is always over too soon.

Norms sutton · Sep 2011

I find some topics and guests interesting, but the host's constant over laughing makes the show unlistenable. Now I only download an episode if it's something that I find interesting. Seriously Scott, tone it down 500%.
