“The show tanked. It all but ended in 2015, but they revived it for two shows around WWDC - nothing since. Instead of announcing its end, they show zero respect to listeners. Jim stopped caring a long time ago. The show is awful.”

“What's up with the other speaker in episode 153? The host practically has to fill in a lot of conspicuous, awkward silences solo. He asks what color his iPad is, and gets an "I don't know" as a response. Really?
And then the host says "well you have have all the accessories too!" And is met...”Read full review »

“Not as a reaction to any particular episode or anything, but I’ve noticed Dalrymple’s enthusiasm for this show taking a BIG dive in the last year. Remember when each episode used to open with a hearty laugh? What happened?
I like Dalrymple and Benjamin both, but JD seems to loathe doing this...”Read full review »

“Jim, you’re tired of running this show. Every next show is worse then previous. Take a break, find more materials and come back. If this show continues like that - I will unsubscribe. Possibly, this is due to fact that Dan no longer a co-host. There is another weird guy who is also bored during...”Read full review »

“There has been a period when this great show had slightly lost its energy and pace. But as Shawn King grows in experience and confidence, he has become a great asset to the show, and we hear the old Jim again: wry, wise, funny, and devastatingly dismissive of cant and stupidity in the tech world....”Read full review »

“I don't care about how Slash plays his guitar. Since Shawn took over there had been too much music talk. Jim has a unique voice concerning all things tech. It's a shame all that is talked about is AC/DC and Slash.”

“I’ve been a fairly regular listener to this podcast since it got started. Jim and Dan built up a pretty good chemistry. I like Apple so if the talk is rather Apple-centric (or biased) I don’t mind too much. I particularly enjoyed the music/instrument/hardware discussions between the two. Dan is a...”Read full review »

“Simply put, Jim is too smug and condescending for his own good. His myopic view of Apple and the tech industry in general results in poor analysis and a refusal to acknowledge the company’s fault. He’s also rude to his cohost Shawn, who must constantly prod and poke Jim in order to spark a...”Read full review »

Meanwhile, Jim is forwardly dismissive of any idea that is not blindly in...”Read full review »

His writing on the loop are also pretty piss poor!

The show is run by Dan, hell, he could even run it by...”Read full review »

“I thought this podcast was OK at first, it sort of filled the void of Hypercritical leaving 5by5. But it's just become so predictable and boring. Jim Dalrymple doesn't offer anything more than the most shallow analysis, if any, of the issues.
Dan Benjamin is trying his best to prod some kind of...”Read full review »

I think he is too much in love with Apple to even comprehend how the likes of Google right now is running circles around what Apple is doing. Plus he is too smug. Goodbye Jim.”

“Really wanted to like this podcast but to be honest the content is non existent and the teasing about things that "Jim knows" but doesn't tell is obnoxious. We get it, Jim has great contacts but isn't going to spill. Ho hum... Gave you two stars out of sympathy.
Good luck.
