“Each season examines technology in or lives through the lens of a single question. Contained within each episode is a code to unlock the next episode immediately, rather than waiting a week for its' release. These are fun and can be a challenge!”

“This podcast is great. It keeps your attention and talks about very interesting topics. It almost sounds like you are listening to a TV show on the discovery channel or science Channel. Definitely recommend this podcast for anybody, not just tech enthusiasts.”

“Not sure these guys are responsibly representing issues, they seem to lack opposing view on their show. Makes for boring and predictable content.”

“The show gave me a totally different and more nuanced viewpoint on things like surveillance, VR, porn, EMAIL. Plus Ben is a natural storyteller and it's pretty unbelievable the people and narratives he and his team came up with. If I may mix media here, where shows like Black Mirror make me...”Read full review »

“Ben Johnson has a voice, style and approach that resonates. He "gets" tech, is savvy with the intersection of tech with our culture and humanity, an searches out interesting voices to add context. Plus, the whole "ask a single question against a different tech each episode"...”Read full review »

“The first season of Codebreaker was interesting. In the second season, Ben Johnson takes it up a level and makes it fascinating. How? By making the complicated issues he takes on human. The issues are big and real and so are the human stories Ben finds to bring them to life. Well worth listening to.”

“In a sea of false podcasts and garbage time listening, John Benson truly soars above. His truth, soothing voice and frank discussion of seemingly benign, but complicated topics is a refreshing take on e-journalism in this dark age of Trumpmerica.”

“Codebreaker has really great sound editing—if you like Radiolab you will like this one—and they investigate bigger questions about our relationship to technology which is really throught-provoking, timely and fun. Educational and entertaining. Highly recommend.”

This is because it deals with the technologies that directly...”Read full review »
