“Before Hypercritical launched, I was familiar with John Siracusa from Ars and respected his writing and insights. Dan Benjamin turns out show after show of material that I find very compelling. Add the two together and I knew I had to give Hypercritical a listen. I think you should too.
It has now become my favorite 5by5 property and perhaps my favorite podcast. Both John and Dan clearly know their stuff, and I appreciate John's intense attention to detail and that he's not afraid to discuss the weaknesses in Apple products. Everything can be improved upon - and sometimes it feels like many Apple pundits forget that.
John also brings a more "real life" bent to the show than many other tech writers do. He talks about products and services not just from a geek perspective, but from his family's perspective and I find that refreshing. I am a geek through and through and sometimes am not as sympathetic as I could be when my non-geek husband runs into tech issues.
Thanks to John for his excellent commentaries and thoughtful opinions and thanks to Dan for the wonderfully informative and entertaining resource that is 5by5!”Read full review »
