Unfocused, Biased, Tons of Ads
There’s some decent content in the show but it’s very mixed and random. Sometimes it’s an episode about tech breakthroughs or intriguing tech issues, other times it’s an entire episode about what a CPU is, or abandoned products from a brand, or amusement park rides... It’s unfocused, so you’ll likely only be interested in about 25% of episodes. And none of the tech discussion is particularly deep or well-researched. He likes to go deep into history, but that’s about it. Worse, every other episode contains a hit-piece about Elon Musk or his companies. Dude’s completely obsessed with Musk and hates him, to an irrational degree. Particularly irksome is how he soaks up anti-Tesla propaganda like a sponge, and drenches his audience in it, with no critical thought or fact-checking applied. It’s pathetic and disgusting. Finally, the density of ads is quite frustrating. The ad breaks are frequent and 3 minutes long, so it’s not something you can just endure, you have to get out your phone and skip through it. They also have nothing to do with theme of the show. Overall, more frustrating and disappointing than it’s worth.

Though they try hard to be entertaining (TOO hard) then end up sounding slightly ridiculous and do not really give you anymore then a smattering of understanding about the subject at hand. Better podcasts with Scientific American and NY Times Science Times.
