“I’ve be a regular reader of Rob’s blog since his excellent “Placebo-philes” post at the end of 2013, so when he announce that he was starting a podcast I decided to subscribe. The first couple interviews were with his brother and mother. These were interesting subjects—the familial relationships made the podcast feel very personal—but I didn’t fall in love with the podcast until episode 6, the interview with Stephen Hackett. This interview was so compelling and moving. I kept thinking about what I would do, how I would feel, in Stephen’s position. It really connected.
It’s also good to see Rob loosen the conceit that the interviews are “about how technology affects us”. Technology, as Rob defines it, is such a broad topic, it encompasses almost everything. I don’t mind this being an underlying thread, tying the episodes together, but it felt a bit forced in the first few interviews.”
