What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m married to a developer who loves driving through the night on road trips. This is our go to podcast for him to listen to while driving. He gets to stay up to date on new tech trends, while we listen to the soothing voices of the hosts and occasionally learn new coding terms and concepts before we fall asleep. 😀 Really great show that has helped me as a non-developer understand more about the coding world and the inner workings of how to understand and appreciate the tech world my husband enjoys so much!

SyntaxFM has been an invaluable companion for the past two years of my podcast journey. Their insightful discussions on web development and programming have not only helped me stay up-to-date with industry trends but also improved my English listening. Wes and Scott's dynamic and friendly hosting style makes each episode engaging and easy to follow.

x64Bits · Aug 2023

Wes and Scott’s tireless effort to create one of the most interesting , palatable, and informative podcasts is a huge resource for anyone interested in computer science. Their discussions provide a depth of knowledge on not only front end engineering but full stack engineering in general. Their supper club episodes bring a new exciting wrinkle to an already thriving podcast. Thank you so much for all the episodes you have created.

I been listening to Syntax.FM for over a year now and i couldn’t be more satisfied with their content. They do a great job explaining topics and very pleasurable to listen to them. Keep up the great work.

Nocturnal88 · Oct 2022

The intros are really loud and obnoxious, and it seems to get worse with time. They are overwhelming if you have a sensory processing issue caused by ADHD, autism, etc. I can’t have this podcast in a passive playlist while doing other things, since I have to consciously prepare for and try to skip the various introductions. As a result, I just don’t listen much anymore. I like the somewhat silly nature of the brand but wish it manifested in a way that was not physically painful for me. Update: Unsubscribed since they’re only getting worse and don’t seem to care.
