I listen to and love a lot of podcasts, but it took just a couple of episodes to become convinced that this is the one. I look forward to many future listens.

Great podcast concerning the ethical implications of new technologies.

Loved the episode about alternatives to standardized testing. inspiring and innovative. And beautifully produced.

I'm not sure how, but this podcast makes me both terrified and inspired. And I end up thinking about the ethical questions C Fake has raised for a week later. Until the next one comes out. Then I start thinking all over again. That's pretty amazing.Read full review »

Love it. Each episode focuses on a particular technology, considers its historical importance, and questions its impact on our world. A playful, challenging and engaging listen. Should this podcast exist? Definitely.
EmilyAnneNYC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/20
In season two Caterina Fake explores important questions with fascinating guests, produced in a captivating way. Some of the issues raised are still reverberating in my mind - like the potentially catastrophic effects of learning TOO much about the virus that causes COVID 19. Not to be missed!

Well if the first two episodes are any guage about this new series, this show is going to be amazing. Those were two jaw droppingly thoughtful, articulate guests and topics. I was stopped cold while listening and am still thinking them days later. Told my kids I couldn't be interrupted,...Read full review »

Loved the first two episodes of Season 2! It has a more human and conversational tone than the first season, and the new soundtrack creates a more pleasant listening experience. Two thumbs up! Original review: Finally, a voice that puts technology’s effects on humanity front and center! After a...Read full review »

Solid podcast here. I was referred to this podcast after sharing my story of chronic pain. One of the authors former coworker sent it to me. I just listened to several episodes and really enjoyed the Lyme and Mold episode. Going to start putting daily affirmations, meditation into my daily life...Read full review »

All the conversations we desperately NEED to be having.

If we’re posing the question “should this podcast exist?”, the answer is a resounding YES. I didn’t know I needed this pod and its content in my life until I stumbled upon it. I feel enriched and enlightened after each episode. It’s become required listening in my library.

Very insightful episode on a subject that will surely become much more mainstream in the near future but the hate and abuse involved in some of the ways that destructive people choose to use this tech for is nothing new to societies which is not to say that it makes it any less disturbing....Read full review »

So happy to hear this podcast is coming back.
wendygkl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/20
I’m happy and grateful that we’re examining the darker side of big tech. This podcast resonates with me especially because it’s insiders sharing their well-informed views, effectively letting us peek behind the Wizard of Oz’s curtain. Thank you for putting this into the world!

jeff libtard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/20
I absolutely can’t wait for next season! I love the show format of finding people of different backgrounds to share their visions and concerns around the technology in question and then letting the creator or someone else working on the project (in the case of large-scale technologies) refute or...Read full review »
ludicrous hoop to jump thru via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/30/19
This well-produced podcast is hosted by someone who knows what she is talking about. If she's not telling one of her knowledgeable stories it's because she's asking an equally-informed guest for their take. The only element I view as a drawback is their use of the same cartoonish,...Read full review »

Thanks for changing up my list of product podcasts with something that makes me stop and think harder about what I build and its consequences. A great listen every time.
Benboster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/19
In general, I enjoy this podcast. Fake is knowledgeable and a good host. They choose interesting topics and get good guests to interview. Some good questions are raised, which are the first steps toward understanding and discussion. However, let me tell you what should NOT exist- a 5 min...Read full review »

Love this podcast!!! Really wish there was an episode once a week 🥰
MaggsWI85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/19
I really enjoy this podcast from a number of angles. The first would be the introduction of the topic invention. These inventions are so mind-blowing that simply learning about their existence or soon-to-be-existence is thrilling and offers so much to think about. Not only that but they are...Read full review »
Seaslang via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/19
I love hearing all sides of an issue, and this podcast ffers just that. Rather than presenting a single point of view and arguing for it, Ms. Fake brings us cutting edge ideas from the frontiers of technology and then explores the pros, cons, opportuities and challenges. This kind of thoughtful...Read full review »

Not only is it interesting but it it also super informative and enlightening. It uses reliable sources and intelligent people.

Some voices shouldn’t be on radio. This is one and for a podcast voice is everything. Then there’s the title. Why go negative? Lots of other ways to approach same question. Good idea let’s shoot them down.
BTalisman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/19
A show explaining the opinions of many white dudes who have never watched the twilight zone, yet a believe their awful inventions that should never exist won’t immediately and completely be used for nefarious purposes. Unsubscribing, because my life is already filled with too much tech I don’t...Read full review »

While the idea is very interesting, the execution leaves much to be desired. As many other reviews state, the sound effects mostly detract from the content, rather than enhancing it. A few episodes provide vaguely related or anecdotal and subjective reasoning and the topics could be more deeply...Read full review »

The content stands on its own.

Excellent orchestration
shivasubha via Apple Podcasts · India · 05/19/19
The NPR production approach really ruins these. Music and sound effects and long pauses are annoying.
Crazy, Sr. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/19
Full of cheesy sound effects. Content is great but otherwise unbearable. Will give it another go if they stop trying so hard.
KubwaKali via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/19
While showcasing problems helps rise fear and anxiety, why not showcase solutions? Also after listening to a show a couple times i realized it is a very well hidden commercial.
Party-trolley.com via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/19
Way over-produced. Sound effects are constant. You don’t have to make this into some story or experience. Just have a normal conversation.
SeanM927 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/19
Lots to like about this tech/ethics podcast. Well written and produced, and the podcast ads are some of the best (most interesting) that I've heard.Read full review »

As always, the Quartz team delivers. Thoughtful, surprising and entertaining.
Ginafrombrazil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/19
Intelligent discussion about interesting new technologies. HOWEVER the cheesy, incessant sound effects make it almost unbearable to listen to the actual podcast! Please for the love of god stop with the sound effects!
Devlinmorrow via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/17/19
Who defines good and bad actors? What is the world view? Where do the morals come from? Love the podcast.
rezdog via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/19
(Full disclosure: I am podcast junkie and a science nerd. I also am friend of one of the show’s creators.) This show is an obvious choice for inclusion into podcasting’s pantheon of provocative and probing science/tech masterpieces, Radiolab, Hidden Brain, and Invisibilia most notable among...Read full review »

Perfect questions, clear descriptions, great expert opinions, superb content. Very diverse perspectives as well: people of all ages, races, and genders! Would definitely recommend to any curious people thinking about the future
awestley123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/19
Very interesting but I wish it was more of an interview style podcast instead of produced story style. I feel like they could go deeper into the topics.
Da Liver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/19
This is a great new podcast that address important inflection points around technology, morality, ethics, and everyday life. A great balance between having enough detail to educate, but not too much, and enough questions to raise issues and debate, but not too much to narrow our thinking. Very...Read full review »

I gave this a listen on a whim, seriously prepared to walk away if it wasn’t great. My podcast menu was already needing some editing down but I went in with an open mind. That was many episodes ago and I’m still here and I still get excited whenever a new episode drops. It’s the right amount of...Read full review »

Loved this. Provocative subjects, great questions, high level production. Makes one think about all aspects of future tech.
Reviewer750ooo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/19
Podcasts like this are important in ensuring we stay mindful, not only as inventors of tech but also as end users. I loved the composition and the way Caterina helps us to embrace new tech concepts with our eyes and ears open. really thought provoking - good job.
Hbrown86 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/24/19
I listened to the Halo episode and loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed the point of view - not the usual narrow focus but rather a much more holistic viewpoint. Catarina asks a wide range of questions exploring the technology, it’s impact on humanity, ethical issues, and more. This episode definitely...Read full review »

An ethical question the tech community should be asking more often! So excited about this podcast and the interesting conversations! Couldn't have picked a better host! I look forward to each episode and love the guest stars (Baratunde, Esther Perell.) I wish more people in tech cared more...Read full review »
xoani via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/19
This is an advertisement disguised as a podcast. Just like any other commercial it’s full of fun noises and jingles to grab your attention and keep you focused on what they are trying to sell. It’s a good concept focusing on the impact of emerging technologies but the host puts my guard up and...Read full review »
