“So.. They definitely have a new talk cast each week but for some reason never get around to adding the episodes to iTunes until weeks/months later. What gives?”

“I listen to nearly all the mac podcasts and continue to enjoy TUAW! It is definitely not as ‘polished' as many out there but in terms of the depth of the content discussed it is excellent. It is great that anyone can call in and join the discussion. Many of the rough sound quality edges seem to...”Read full review »

“This show has really lost its edge. There is zero reporting on the current and future state of apple. It's just one long inconsistent rant about their past apple experience. The show moves very slow. A lot of the topics are outdated. I think they have a very capable cast they just need a format...”Read full review »

“I enjoy listening to Kelly and although the quality is not the best sounding podcast as it's probably recorded from a cell phone call it's ok. I don't pay attention to that. I only mention that as others below me said that and I am responding to that.
I watch kelly on the British Tech Network...”Read full review »

“I enjoy the podcast that comes out every week and I highly recommend listening in or participating in the live show 7 pm pst on TalkShoe. The real fun comes with the after show part starts and a variety of subjects are discussed. Each week is a new topic and learning experience.”

“The show is the bomb and it's not your typical podcast because you can call in and be a part of the show. Anyone can call in. I saw in some of the reviews people giving negative feedback but I'm sure they have never called in. If you need advise or want to give your two cents you can. that's the...”Read full review »

“TUAW Talkcast is a fun show that is worth a listen. Join in on live version at TalkShoe. The chat room is active and the after dark is amazing. Kelly's rants are epic even when I disagree with them :) - a fun show - worth a weekly listen.”

“I can understand that they want you to listen live, but can't understand the amount of time it takes them to upload a podcast onto iTunes... Usually a 1-2 week delay. I don't know if it was due to CES/MacWorld or whatever, but it makes a person quickly lose interest, not only in the podcast, but...”Read full review »

“Unfortunately, what could have been a great Podcast is spoilt by one of the hosts Kelly Guimont. She thinks she knows everything and constantly forces her opinions on everyone else, ruining any balanced discussion.
A Podcast never quite works when the host loves themselves more than the subject...”Read full review »

“I can't get past the host's inability to express herself. It's like, y'know, like, I don't know, it's like weird, and y'know? If Kelly could expunge "like" from her commentary, this would be a much better show.”

“I hadn't listened to TUAW in a while. I gave the latest a listen and remembered why. The sound is awful, like everyone else is saying, but the content is also not very good. There's absolutely no objectivity and the hosts treat their opinions as foregone conclusions. This is the worst of what...”Read full review »

“We are living in 2011 aren't we? Because from the way the guests on this podcast sound, you'd be mistaken for thinking it was 1993 and they were using 28k dial up while wearing a metal bucket on their heads to take part in the show. It makes the whole thing unbearable. The people participating in...”Read full review »

“If you enjoy reading TUAW app as I do it's likely you'll enjoy this. It's a bit ad-libbed and many people are on the end of a telephone but there is a great team spirit and sense of fun. Well worth a listen.”

The often host Kelly is hard to tolerate she talks over people and spouts constant nonsense about her house. She might say something funny then we hear it for 4 weeks....”Read full review »

“I'm sorry, but the under-water sound quality is just not acceptable. Given the recording apps available to Mac users, we should not have to put up with the shoddy sound. It feels like I'm listening to an elementary school podcast. These people are not dumb. They could do so much better.”
