What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Came for Malcolm (who was brilliant as always, no surprise), however I couldn't help but notice how amazing the production of this show is. As an avid podcast listener, and a self proclaimed "production auteur", this one just seems to click all the right buttons. Beautifully crafted.

Sam3/4 · Sep 2026

I’ve been listening to this show for a few years for a fresh perspective, and I like how it’s shifted to spotlight different industries and businesses. It’s fascinating to hear how everyone is approaching AI. Feels unavoidable if you want to stay ahead of what’s coming.

ITGuyPaul1717 · Apr 2026

Enjoyable pod! Show has engaging guests that share insightful subject matter expertise while still being listener friendly. Would recommend for non-technical people trying to learn more about the space.

Bethmacdon · Oct 2023

Just getting into listening to podcasts, highly recommend this one! The discussion about ai being used for motion tracking is rather interesting. It’s a good look into how society is growing in regards to electronics

Nia baker · Jun 2026

My favorite podcast has an advertisement for this show that plays literally every five minutes. The same ad, over and over. This does not illicit a positive response from listeners and in fact does the opposite of what you’re paying for the ads to do. I don’t care how good this podcast is, I won’t be listening to it for this reason.
