“I love this show. Marc and guests are irreverent, opinionated and knowledgeable. It’s one of the few shows I’ve subscribed to from radio national because I want to keep up to date. I know nothing of tech and work in massage so don’t need to know. It’s a fun snap shot of what’s happening in the...”Read full review »

“Of the bazillion tech / news podcasts Marc and guests consistently look at subjects with a good dose of Aussie cynicism.
It is refreshing to hear a podcast that leaves you satisfied rather than drained.
Keep up the great work Marc and team!”

“It’s called “X”. Good to see the ABC is just as pathetic as half the planet and follows along with the herd in hating Elon Musk and everything he does. Grow up.”

“Quirky, quick-witted, and quintessentially informative, that quells curiosity with quirky quips and quality content.
This totally wasn’t written by AI…honest!”
“Marc & his guests bring to life the mystery of tech so that people who are not rocket scientists can understand what’s going on in this ever complicated life!”

“Ok the title pretty much sums it up. Marc and his team of awesome weekly guests fill my ears with science tech and more each and every week. While the occasional zombie apocalypse might be uncovered and the end of the world is Near predication might give you heart murmurs, it’s so worth it. Marc...”Read full review »
“In a number of recent shows you have made apples vs oranges comparisons about the capabilities of AI.
This week, the drone racing example, the comparison of an AI getting a digital GPS coordinate to allow it to fly a drone is no way comparable to a human looking at screens and physical objects...”Read full review »

“Marc asked for reviews so here I am, against my will, possibly due to the chip Elon just implanted in my brain. But it’s FDA approved, so don’t worry.
Love Marc, love the topics, love the guests. It gets deep enough to be informative but is still easy to digest. I appreciate that it delves into...”Read full review »

“I worked at the ABC years ago, and recall other IT staff there telling me they felt Marc Fennell was pretty much a self-promoting know-nothing, when it came to technology matters. Too busy being a “tech personality” specialising in tech news & views, yet lacking any real substantive knowledge...”Read full review »

Oh here is one for you what or how do I access my photos on my iPhone and windows with out emailing myself the photos ? Thanks”
“Typical ABC podcast. This show is for the average Joe Schmo who knows little to nothing about technology. For those of us actually in technology, the knowledge, opinions and “facts” the “expert” guests share is laughable. Most guests have no idea what they’re talking about and are often plain...”Read full review »

“Marc has the magic touch and this podcast is on my regular listening schedule. But PLEASE don't invite Jessie Hughes or Natasha Gillezeau back again. Their hysterical, babbling delivery gave me a headache today and I was barely able to get through the episode.”Read full review »

“There's only so much you can listen to in a week. I've narrowed back to a few podcasts and this remains one of them. It is the most reliable "new tech" report I've come across, and yet another reason why sensible Austalian governments should always appropriately support the...”Read full review »

That was until a recent episode that discussed the media bargaining code here in Australia. The panelists either didn’t understand the situation at all, or were...”Read full review »

“• August 2, Episode “Fortnite millionaires and Adelaide’s games Industry”.
In which a guest uses “pathway” as a verb.
Though to be fair, a trigger warning was issued, noting the guest would be American.
