“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.”

“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!”

“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 »

“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 »
