“This is just a voice actor reading an article. Dry and boring with no lively commentary or color.”

“There’s also a sort of apocalyptic thinking that creeps into most episodes. There are bad things in the world, but this podcast dwells on the negative far too much”

“This once was a short tech podcast but now not short (<5 minutes) and not much about tech. New topics are interesting enough but not why I had subscribed.”

“Why is “Tech in Two” now regularly ~10 minutes? I added it to get quick hit news, and now I have to ffwd through 9 minutes about glitter. I’m so confused. No communication to the listener about format change or even a rebrand.”

“Left wing propaganda. They tried pulling the strings for Biden by going on about how he doesn’t know how to tweet and therefore you should vote for him. Another unsurprising case of media malfeasance.”

“Nicholas Thompson needs to leave his heavy handed politics at home and stick to the technology. Seems it was betters few months ago. If this continues to happen I suspect lots will unsubscribe which would be a shame.”

“Edit: 8/4/20
The quality was much better this episode!
Previous comment:
He has great content, not the best speaker but not horrible as others mentioned. The audio quality is what gets me, there’s so many decent USB mics for a podcast that sound better than this, it’s as if he’s recording on...”Read full review »

“The editor should not be allowed to host anything. His audio is bad and both him and his podcast are far left on the political spectrum. I want tech news, not political opinions.”

“I have enjoyed the content but am unsubscribing because the sound quality is so annoying. The volume level is uneven and Thompson sounds like he’s recording from his bathroom. I don’t understand why a premier tech media company can’t do better than this.”

“Just listened to a two minute podcast with 45 seconds of ads, terrible audio and someone essentially reiterating something they read in the news”

“The content is pretty good and concept of condensed information of 2 minutes is great! But please invest in a good mic and reduce the echo. For a tech company you guys need to be on point on this... please 😊 cheers”

“This podcast is a total joke. The audio quality is so poor that the host sounds like he’s on the moon. The host is a terrible speaker and needs lessons on public speaking and how to enunciate. Leave the vocal fry to teenage girls. Why not get the professionals who voiced the intro and let the...”Read full review »

“I love the content of this show. However, the audio is so frustrating. The main host will sound really loud and then all the sudden it’s like he’s whispering and you can’t hear what he said. Then the ads start and it’s a whole new level of loud. I have to adjust the volume more times within a 2...”Read full review »

“The content is interesting but the sound level is very inconvenient. The host’s voice is just too quiet and fluctuates from barely audible to below average volume.
However the intro/outro are normal volume.”

“I saw their YouTube a couple of weeks/months ago and decided to give them a try here as they've made their YT quite entertaining.
It's fun, family friendly and short. I'd love a longer version if possible to hear while I'm driving, but hey, that's just a suggestion.
I feel...”Read full review »

“I (try) to listen to this podcast every day.
It’s a GREAT source of info on what’s happening in tech.
Two minor complaints:
One, please see if the volume on the main male commentator (I’m sorry that I don’t know his name) can be adjusted. He either sounds like he’s recording in a cave, or he goes...”Read full review »

“I like the length of the articles and the variety of topics chosen. However, they are read pretty tonelessly and without natural pauses or human inflection. Some of the recordings are sub-par as well, which is surprising coming from Wired.”

“It's great to be able to digest articles on the go thanks to this service. The half-dozen vocies that read me the latest WIRED articles have become SO familiar to me, I often hear their voices when I'm reading articles on my tablet!
Thanks for everything you read, you guys.”Read full review »
