Customer Reviews
Highly recommend
I’m a pre-engineering student and love listening to this podcast to keep me up to date on technological and engineering advances delivered in a conversational and easy to follow format. Thanks for your hard work on this Daniel and Farbod!
Tech for Everyone. This podcast is brilliant!
The best podcast! Great hosts and easy to understand talks on complex topics. Can’t recommend more highly. This is the top tech podcast, always worth a listen.
Mid
I see what they’re trying to accomplish but it’s what every “young engineer” is talking about. The research seems okay but they need to deep dive. Actually talk about things that are working and not potential of tech.
