“Love this network, Listening to these guy is genuinely like having a bit criac down your local. Insightful...sometimes, daft...alot, Tomfoolery japes with gay abandon...constant.

“Boring, dreary, unprofessional ARE NOT THE words I could use to describe this show. This show ROCKS! The host and guests interact and talk like they are down the pub chatting over a beer or two. The topics are relevant, up-to-date, and funny.
Love this show, reminds me of being back home in...”Read full review »

“Another great show from the team at BTN. Great keeping updated with all the latest technology news. One of the best tech podcasts I have found.
Got the mix of keeping you update but in an informal way down to a fine art.
So Ewan (The Host) reads out all reviews, so let's put this to the...”Read full review »

“Although I'm a Brit I usually listen to U.S podcasts, but this one has become the exception. They cover most of the subjects I'm interested in and the panel all have their own unique qualities. BUT....the host...he can be a right self righteous sod at times, even when he is clearly wrong, and he...”Read full review »

“The title says it all. Achieves exactly what it sets out to. I used to listen to a number of American tech related podcasts, but since I discovered these shows, they sound stuffy and too predicable; every so often a REAL gem emerges that spans 2 episodes and means my fellow train passengers think...”Read full review »

“If you want to keep on top of the latest in technology and have fun doing it then go no further than The Big Show. Witty host Ewen Rankin along with top tech journalists and professionals discuss what is new in the world of technology. There's nothing boring here. I'm always disappointed when the...”Read full review »

“Does the Big Show on the British Tech Network deserve five stars? I wouldn’t listen and watch it every week like clockwork if there wasn’t something enjoyable to hear and view if it wasn’t.
Now if only the host and I had the same interests in BBC daytime dramas.”
