TechStuff - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love the show but, the amount of ads in all iHeartRadio podcasts is getting ridiculous. Ever since iHeart acquired the former howstuffworks family of podcasts they have steadily increased the ad breaks from 2ish minutes to up to 8 minutes. 8 MINUTES OF ADS! My finger is getting tired from tapping skip so many times.

I think Jonathan is a fine host who comes up with interesting topics and goes in-depth, to the appropriate amount, and makes the facts interesting. While it’s not a big production show, it’s not supposed to be. I enjoy it for the information and the clarity of presentation, not necessarily the flash, sound effects and/or additional hosts.

Look, the fact is, this gentleman does a great job of explaining aspects of technology that the average person simply doesn’t understand. These guys are the hosts you will miss when they are gone.

Love the new direction - show feels really well produced. I learn something every episode. Keep it up!

I’m a long time listener and think this dude does a really good job with podcasting. Great writer. That being said, I caution anyone who values unbiased news. While he tries to convince you he is unpartisan, I see a growing trend in this show of exaggerating news that portrays conservatives in a negative way and the outright absence of world news that could show left leaning politicians and public figures negatively.

While I understand there is no promise by the host that he is non partisan, I enjoy hearing non partisan news and I wish he would stop eluding to being unbiased. It’s dishonest and infantilizing. I have to assume the biased reporting is because he’s scared for his job. I get it. I’ll keep listening because I can see through it.

This podcast is increasingly focused on Tech’s influence on cultural topics from a woke perspective than on a review and explanation of technology. When the show is on a particular topic, it can be excellent.
