“Please curb your descriptions of literally everything as “kind of” or “sort of” 🙏 Love this podcast and the hosts. I’ve been a regular listener since the first episode and am always excited to see it on my feed on fridays.”

“The hosts seem knowledgeable, but I feel like the constant jokes and laughing over content get in the way of what I tune in for, the show’s subject matter. I’ve never listened to the end of an episode as a result, so I stopped altogether. Rapport is great, but it’s half the show.”

“I look forward to Fridays because of this awesome podcast. The interchanges are hilarious and the information is wonderful. I am always quoting info as if i know what I’m talking about. The guests are knowledgeable but Kevin and Casey don’t let them get too haughty in their descriptions of what’s...”Read full review »

“Usually I would give this show a 5 but had to stop listening this week as Isaacson got the mic for Musk mythology. To talk about Musk without immediately acknowledging the impact of extraordinary wealth on him as well as how everyone around him behaves is just bad journalism. Single-minded focus...”Read full review »

“It's a struggle because the topics covered are interesting, however, (and I'm really not sure how to express this succinctly) the reporting does come across deeply uncritical of tech capitalism and culture.
This in itself isn't *necessarily* an issue, but it does leave the topics...”Read full review »

“I couldn’t take the episode where the hosts were laughing and talking loudly over each other about the stupidity of a fallen crypto king. It’s surprising to hear this sort of cheapening of journalism from the New York Times.a serious issues demand a little bit more humility and a lot more sincerity.”

“For 2 people that I consider to be good journalists, it’s very disappointing how little fact checking they do. The entire show is essentially “a tech company’s PR department said this, so it must be true!” I really wanted to like it, but I’ll be unsubscribing.”

“When the show first kicked off it had a good balance of serious content and light humour. As of August 2023, it’s almost too painful to listen to. For much of the show, the format has become formulaic. Kevin says something interesting and Casey replies with some lame pun or quip. Repeat. Please...”Read full review »

“Lots of really well-vetted information, but we are not here because we want to hear the hosts giggle incessantly—we want to know about the tech shaping our world, in a smart and unambiguous way.
Please cool it with the jokes. It’s overkill”

I am also struck by the hosts and guests being mainly male light guys. Mix it up, people!”

“When you interview guests who are fellow tech folk, it’s all pandering easy questions. When you interview an activist group, it’s hostile pushback. “Just a dog, not a human” is your response to a concern about autonomous vehicle related deaths. Really?
