Entertaining, provocative, necessary
This is now one my new favorite podcasts. I find it to be a unique and sophisticated in blending a description and critique of hard social and economic theory with references to literature and film, and comparisons to current events and political history. I highly admire the hosts’ ability to comment intelligently on so many layers of a given topic. I appreciate how they really get down to business - each show has an agenda, yet they allow for a free form discussion. There is no fluffy small talk, or histrionics. Yet it is a lively, off-the-cuff discussion that entertains while it informs and provokes. I share the hosts conviction that the future of our world depends on whether citizens at large can discuss the difficult issues we face, form opinions about possible solutions, and, crucially, exert the power that could change the system. We must have a direction that is egalitarian and effective in protecting all of mankind, not just a wealthy class that will otherwise take over full control. Technology must be harnessed to improve the quality of our lives, not be a tool employed by a ruling class to attack and weaken us. This podcast promises to provide a forum that will contribute to this necessary discussion. I applaud the hosts for rising to the occasion and devoting the time and intellect required to produce such a engaging, relevant, and important product.

I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science and I've been very discouraged by how technology is used and discussed. I've had a lot of difficulty feeling excited about my degree or any career I might end up in. This podcast is super encouraging because there are other tech...Read full review »
