“The interviewer is extremely well-prepared and knowledgeable, conduces the interviews really well. And the guests... oh boy. Really food stuff.”

“I listened to the episode on the singularity. I can boil down the discussion to this one theme: I don't like the idea of the singularity, so it seems unlikely. Other episodes were similarly lacking in substantive analysis. Too bad since the Ars website produces some stellary articles.”

“Bland and lifeless. Seems like someone high-up decided "we need a podcast" and it falls to the losers at foosball that week to be on it.
Hosts often sound uninterested and ill-prepared. Production quality is mediocre. Content is well-intended but would be better served by commentators who have...”Read full review »

“Ars website articles are well written and insightful, this podcast has neither of those qualities. The podcast has a lot of dead air, mindless verbal affirmations, and statements formed in speculation when the speaker should just be saying I do not know or not saying anything.
I hope this...”Read full review »

“Some great topics. Production quality (volume levels, mic quality, ambient noise, etc.) make it almost unlistenable at times. Too bad.”

“Didn't even bother to try new WWDC app before talking about it. The app is very slightly flatter but still IOS standard and not at all like gmail app. Besides, standard widgets will not have new look until 7 is released.”

“Good choice of topics, bad application of pacing and consistent audio levels across the cast members. The show has a lot of potential but I hope they can reign in their pacing and regulate those audio levels.”

“Coming from such a good and respected web site, it's surprising both how insipid and uninformed the contributors to the podcast are, and how poor is the audio quality.”

“Please equalize the volumes of the speakers in the future. Some people are too difficult to understand. Jacqui has the right volume.”

“I just started listening to this podcast (Dec 7). As someone new to the whole podcast thing, I found it really enjoyable! The people and subject are relatable, and the laid back feeling I get from the conversation is very welcoming.
The only off putting thing about it is the inconsistent sound...”Read full review »

“I like the site, but find that the podcast bores me to tears! Monotone speaking, poor quailty recording (varies) and dull topics really hurt what could be a great podcast.”

“The latest show, on Windows RT devices, is absolutely painful to listen to. Peter stammers and sputters and takes huge pauses to get his words out and it sounds like he's just completely unprepared to talk. The whole thing sounds off the cuff in a bad way. A little more preparation and...”Read full review »

“I enjoy Ars Technica and the content they provide. In general, Ars provides insightful reporting on all things technology. In my opinion, this podcast has not met these standards of excellence.
Specific complaints:
1. Many words, very little tech content. This probably results from poor...”Read full review »

“With any new podcast there will always be technical hitches so I understand the frequently Skype glitches and background noise.
What the show does need though is more structure and more delimited segments. In its current forms it feels like a single hour long conversation. The speakers clearly...”Read full review »

“Might appeal to teens and very early 20s, but not much here beyond that. Shocked it's Conde Nast.”

“Glad Ars is taking a stab at a podcast, will be interesting to see if these shows are based on discussions of long term events rather than a news recap each week!”
