What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have learned so much about AI through all the great contributors to this podcast. There is so much misinformation out there about LLMs and hype around OpenAI, Anthropic, and the rest, and these guys explain it so well. I was so misled by the coverage on mainstream media, which is atrocious. I usually listen on YouTube where you can avoid any audio problems.

Syncyclist98 · Sep 2026

I turn to this show to get a critical perspective on the awful tech industry. The content is excellent and the guests share a range of valuable expertise. I listen regularly despite the problems with the audio—as another reviewer said, the content is very quiet but the ads are loud and begin at random times with no warning, and can truly hurt your ears. (This makes me feel very irritated by the advertisers and I immediately skip through, which is presumably not the goal.) Please fix this problem—the show is so good it deserves more thoughtful audio control.

L’Ecureuil Noir · May 2026

Episodes need to be better engineered—main content is too quiet, sometimes very low, requiring turning up the volume to maximum, and then the commercials come in at a normal volume and are way too loud. Painful to listen to, disappointing because the content is good.

Great pod, platforms some lesser known but very worthwhile guests
