  • Kahhhhhhzooooooo
    Terrific
    Great interviews on important topics. Everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to The Information’s star reporters give detailed analysis on the most pressing tech stories of the day. Enjoy!
  • Jvaleski
    Decent content, abysmal sound editing
    Very hard to listen to... loudness smoothing and balance is all off on nearly every episode.
  • AHumbleAmoeba
    Great Interviews, Fix Sound Quality
    Great interviews and content, but for the love of god please teach the sound editor how to adjust the levels of people speaking. Constantly adjusting because one person is much louder than the other. If you fix this then it’s definitely 5 stars.
  • Republican100
    Terrible sound quality
    Sound quality is awful
  • gte445e
    Poor audio levels, don’t bother
    The host and the guest volume levels are always ridiculously unbalanced not sure if this is a joke.
  • c.shiu.run
    Good Content But Please Level Sound in Post Processing
    Insightful content but many episodes have poor sound quality — dramatically different loudness levels between host and interviewee and often a speaker’s voice fades in and out. It really detracts from the experience and makes it frustrating to listen anywhere besides a silent environment. In one episode the host contacted the guest via Hangouts and the connecting chime was nearly deafening compared to the host’s voice. That chime have been cut in post; we don’t have to hear everything!

    Smart Tech Discussion
