Customer Reviews
Really good, but…
This pod is really good. Definitely worth your time. I think it’s clever and interesting, and also entertaining.
My only critique is that the two hosts, and one in particular are very strongly biased in their political views, and their views of the world. But they don’t seem to realize it or have any self-awareness of their own biases.
Uninformed opinions
Casey has a lot of opinions that are not backed by research and data. When he speaks about things I know about, it’s clear to me he hasn’t done enough research ahead of the show. It’s one thing to make conversation or play devil’s advocate. But this is a lack of prep.
Great show
The only technology-focused show that I follow. These guys are really well-informed and track the most important stories in AI and technology. I love their humour and enjoy their interviews. While I may not be a huge fan of their parent company (NYTimes), these guys are essential listening if you want to know what’s going on with technology and its relationship to economy and culture.
