What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

For all the moaning and complaining from both the Left and the Right about how bad Big Tech is and how has too much control over our lifes, there is precious little understanding (let alone clear explanations that a lay audience can understand) about just how big tech got that way and the laws and regulations the perpetuate that system. Enter Cory Doctorow. I have not encountered another journalist / commentator in mainstream media or otherwise who lays out such a clear and cogent case of for how Big Tech companies achieved hegemony by using the same practices that their corporate lawyers and lobbyists will sue or legislate out of existence. Far from going off on some diffuse anti-capitalist screed (you know the kind that manage to throw out the terms racism, colonialism, and capitalism in the same sentence with a kind of “case closed” attitude), Cory utilizes specific concrete examples of the practices, laws, and regulations that he is criticizing along with equally specific policy recommendations. This guy is a gem, and his work deserves much wider distribution, given how the subject matter he discusses impacts us all.

Biggles96 · Oct 2023

I’m not sure how I found this podcast but I am so glad I did. I just love Corey’s personality and his perspectives. This podcast led me to read walkaway, which is the first fiction book I have read in 10 years. (I real a lot of non fiction). I’m hooked for life and forever a true fan. I just ordered 3 more of his books. Keep up the amazing work my friend

Hillhippie · Aug 2020

Cory's got something. It's not easily quantifiable, but rarely are the great things in life. I wish that the technology for podcasts and the prevalence of acceptance for delivering your work in this fashion were around when Asimov was writing or when Octavia E. Butler first came onto the scifi scene. To be able to put Cory's stories into the context of his life, to hear them from his own mouth, and to ocassionally hear him self correct a grammatical error is priceless. I find it invaluable to hear these stories at the stage in which they are presented here. This podcast is the future.

Tony and Ash · Mar 2010

I love Cory Doctorow's thought provoking stories. His presentation, while sometimes interrupted by flubs-and-corrections, is just fine. I am more interested in the words, and I don't care if sometimes there are a few blips in the presentation. He never said he was a professional voice actor; he's a professional writer, dammit. I am so looking forward to each and every episode of this show.
