Too angry.
Too angry and ranty for me. I get it, Ed is angry about the current state of the Internet and tech. I am too. It's perfectly reasonable to be angry at the destruction of something we love and have come to rely on for so many things. But there's only so much of that anger I can take when expressed in a 45 minute podcast. It just gets exhausting listening to a man angrily rant for so long and I honestly think it undermines the message and will potentially alienate listeners who might not agree with Ed and who otherwise might have been convinced by a calmer, more matter-of-fact delivery. I feel like this anger can still be expressed without coming across as an extended beligerant rant, and I would be happy to return to this podcast if it becomes a little more relaxed in the future. I wish Ed all the best with the podcast. It is highlighting very important issues, it's just not for me.Read full review »

Been a consumer of tech news-media for decades at this point, and Ed is right that the fun has been missing in action.
