Please stop interrupting each other 😬

All three hosts are awesome and love their perspective but(I’m not sure if there is a way to fix it) they have a habit of talking over each other and it’s a hard listen. Just allow the other person to finish their sentence. Often it happens before a thought is fully expressed.

Yes, yes…

Fun, serious when needed, and always insightful, Rocket is one of my most-looked-forward-to podcasts every week. Bonus: Episode 397 introduced me to “Scared” – the new true-crime podcast thriller from NBC. Truly a must-listen. 😉

Listened since the beginning

I’ve listened since episode one was fresh and have not missed a single episode. Always a highlight of my week when the new episode is published.

Rocket Rules

One of the smartest podcasts about the ways that tech affects our world! Brianna, Christina, and Simone are all incredibly smart, insightful, and their chemistry is unmatched. Also shoutout to Simone giving some of the finest ad reads in podcasting writ large.

Smart and funny tech talk

Rocket is my favorite tech podcast! I love their discussions about Apple and the wider worlds of tech and gaming. Christina, Simone, and Brianna have great chemistry, and it’s such a joy to hear what they have to say every week. Keep up the great work!

the only good show about tech news

This is the only show about technology news (rather than history or culture) that is not only listenable, but good. I love the variety of topics the three hosts cover, and they manage to go in depth enough to make me feel informed while still capturing breadth. Give it a listen if you’re looking for smart and experienced guides to the constantly changing world of tech!

I love this podcast! Brilliant, fast talking women

A podcast hated by snowflake racists and Elon fan-boys for daring to tell the truth. If you love tech or video games or smart, snarky ladies you will love this podcast! If you couldn’t get enough of the train-wreck that was Theranos or Anna Delvey you have come to the right place. Host Brianna Wu has worked herself into the hospital to make sure we all get a chance vote in the next election. If you too need to have a laugh for a minute, because you are worried about global warming and the tyranny of the minority taking away our civil rights, this podcast is for you. And make sure to listen to the ad reads — they are just bonkers! The best!

Engaging and fun content

I love this show. I’m a new follower and I’ve been looking for a show that has stimulating conversation yet if I get interrupted and miss something it doesn’t matter. I found it in this show! Except I don’t want to miss anything because these three women are so engaging and fun!

Please stop sighing

Brianna, please please please stop that awful habit of letting out a big sigh every time you start to talk about something, I don't know when you started doing it but it seems to be getting worse and it sounds so awful 😿 it makes me want to stop listening to the podcast while I love it so much, I have been listening since Isometric

A fun and informative podcast to listen too!

I really enjoy listening to the eclectic group of Christina, Brianna, and Simone providing their perspectives on technology and the news! Simone, just for you: Rocket is both “super cool” and deserving of a “Burning Five-Star Hot” review! Your listeners pay attention!!!

Amazing show

Rocket is such a fun show, there's always something interesting being discussed that I don't hear on the (too many) other tech shows I listen to. Also I think guest shows are just as fun! Apparently that opinion isn't being expressed in many reviews.

Full of new ideas

On all their topics, the hosts are well informed of mainstream views but offer a perspective that's often unique. If tech and geekery is important in your life then you need to hear what these women and their guests have to say.

3 Lively Gals Talk Tech

I have been listening to this podcast for years and have enjoyed every minute of it. They talk about mostly Apple products but with Christina as one of the hosts also working for Microsoft we get a good PC side of it too. Basically they are aren't afraid to talk the serious media side of tech and it's implications on society with a down to earth conservation you feel as if you are in the room with them. The laughs they share also between some of the more "dessert" topics that are also discussed keep the podcast on the light side and easy to listen to. What are you waiting for? Subscribe and be in the conservation and share a laugh!!

Help I’m old and can’t keep up with tech news

Thankfully, these nice folks do a whole podcast about it. I’ve been listening for years now and it’s fun to have context for scamtown, rose gold, thanksgiving candy corn, and so much more. Very intelligent and well-researched with lots of dessert and silly voices during ad reads. I learned a lot about Anna Sorokin from this tech news podcast and I think that’s great.

Super Entertaining

Super entertaining. I do warn that they can get really deep into tech and legislative jargon but TBH the exposure is needed. I also do warn they can get fairly political but some tech conversations are meant to be political so *shrug*.

Rocket is a necessary part of a well-balanced geek podcast diet

As a longer time listener to Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP) and Connected, I found Rocket to be a real revelation. While covering many of the same topics as the other two, Rocket really does sometimes have a very different take, and also has a very different presentation style. Outstanding ad reads. You really should give it a try. This review is terminated!

Is it just me or...

Does it seem like Christina and Brianna do not under any circumstances get along? I love Bri and I love Christina, can y’all just hug it out (virtually)?! I cringe every time Bri talks to Christina because she can be so abrasive and rude in her reply. Kind of shocking actually.

Perfect mix of fun and informative

I’ll say this podcast is not for everyone, if you’re liberal minded and actually care about the welfare of people this is the podcast for you. There is good tech information and a good mixed perspective that gives framework to different issues, such as the recent blow up and cool down of the game stop stock.

Fun listening

Rocket sounds like what it is, three friends getting together to talk about their industry and interests. Do I agree with them all the time? Of course not! But I think it’s fun to hear their takes and then hassling each other.

Fun tech podcast

Love this show. Have listened from day 1. All three gusts are smart, funny and able to talk tech so I can understand it and learn more about things I never knew I would be interested in. Also love scam town news! Simone’s ad reads are so funny that I am not tempted to skip them. Never know what I might miss! Thanks for putting on such a great show. I also choose to be a paid subscriber as this show is worth it!

Was a fun tech industry listen but no longer

Unless you want to hear an ongoing undertone of hard uninformed leftist politics. Also, one of the moderators has too much “baggage” and is toxic goods. Christina would do well by moving on. She’s got a very bright future!

Honest & fun & def. tech!

I love Rocket. They are honest. Honest in their reasoning and honest in their experience. The new iPhone comes out, they are like "The camera bump is so ugly eww". And then they all get the phone and love it, and they just are honest about it. And they are so funny! Brianna is like, "you can trade in your old phone" And Simone (Who reads ads in such a way that you actually listen to them instead of skipping) goes "well, what if I have used it as a spoon to eat ice cream with, will I still get a good trade-in value?" and Christina just TAKES THIS STRAIGHT UP SERIOUS. "If you have not damaged it you should be ok, unless... you weren’t eating Rocky Road!?". People smile at me as I walk along the street because I am laughing when I listen to Rocket, which is also super informative, and so be happy go for a walk and love your tech life :-) Ps video games at end, always a dessert topic ! I think I only listened to the past 25 weeks, but they have done 250 so they are really getting good!

One of the best tech podcasts period

I knew how amazing Christina was from Mashable. I consider her on of the brightest minds in the tech world. Then there is Brianna. She is just as amazing and brings a different view at times that makes you think. Lastly the hidden jewel of the podcast is Simone. OMG, I cant tell you how many times I have had to stop the show from laughing. And her as reads are the best in the biz. Is it wrong I look forward to the ads to see what she is going to do? Mix is the pop culture and train wrecks (Frye Festival, Theranos, Movie Pass and more). Keep up the amazing work! Grab your Krispie Kreme doughnut and listen

Is it me, or it's more depressing than it used to be?

Not sure if it's me or them -- but four years ago when it started -- it was much better. Now it's more depressing and more and more I notice that it sits unlistened in my queue. I would unsubscribe, but the day I decided if it will be as bad as it was, they release great episode. So, I'll say it: inconsistent lately. Probably, it's me.

Re: #202: Christina's Makes a Good Buying Decision

Rocket is definitely one of my favorite podcast shows. Why? Bri, Christina, and Simone always keeps the discussions fun, informative, and engaging. Furthermore, they are simply awesome. Now, I truly enjoyed this episode because they didn't pull any punches regarding Facebook by providing the fans of the show with some much needed analysis as the Facebook executives. Bravo!!!! Keep it going and wish you all much success!!!!

Helped this Luddite learn tech

Congrats on 200 episodes! I started listening to Rocket when I got my first job in tech. I’m a writer who majored in English, but listening to this podcast has made me more well-versed in tech than many of the engineers I work with. Thanks Simone, Christina, and Bri for helping me overcome imposter syndrome and for all your hard work putting out an entertaining podcast week after week. I don’t know how you do it, but I’m so glad you do!

Say No to Gun Control

I like tech, but sick of all the talk about legislating every aspect of our lives. The episode calling for gun control, when the hosts are obviously uneducated about firearms was the last straw. No more listening from me. I wish you would see the rights of law abiding gun owners the way you see the rights of the lgbt community or the many others that you talk about standing up for. Stand up for our freedom! You want to save lives? How about we ban alcohol. More people and kids die from drinking and driving than firearms, but nobody wants to talk about that. Wait....we tried that.

One of my favorite podcasts

Christina, Brianna, and Simone are all great hosts. I’m about 3/4 of the way through listening to all their episodes and I have been recommending it to friends. Not only do they curate interesting topics of discussion, but their experiences in journalism, development, and politics make for lively, well-informed listening. I have learned a ton from these awesome pros. Plus, if you’re into quirky anecdotal tangents, there’s some of that too! (It’s also apparently a thing that if they ever run into you irl and you’re wearing rocket swag, they’ll buy you a drink and hang out for a minute, which sounds pretty cool to me.) ***If you’re looking for other informative and entertaining tech podcasts I’d have to recommend Internet History Podcast and Acquired. Thanks for Rocket Christina, Bri, and Simone! Please never stop making content!

There’s nothing weird about this podcast. This came from the good batch. Everything here is fine and good. No weirdness to be found here! Just a simple Grade A Certified Absolutely Normal Podcast. It’s hosts are three normal people (who are not at all strange in any conceivable way) who talk about normal subjects like Technology, and the Internet. If you like that, and you are a normal person yourself, you might like this podcast. -Signed, A Completely Normal Person Who Isn’t Weird

HECK YES

This show provides pretty much the perfect mix of giggles and feminism and complicated coding stuff with delightful sprinkles of politics and bleeped-out swear words. It is seriously my preferred way to learn about what's going on in the tech world (and how people feel about the color of their iPhones). I follow all these folks on twitter and they're so freaking well-rounded and knowledgeable on such a broad series of topics it blows my freakin' mind. I hope the show continues after Brianna becomes President.

Come for the content, stay for the ad reads. All 3 hosts really know their stuff. Bri is awesome with games and business development. Christina is amazing with seemingly anything tech or media related. Simone knows video games, and keeps the podcast weird, plus hands down the best ad reads ever. listen each week.

But maybe change the name if you want more browsers to find you in the techstack, girls talk tech, nerd girl tech, something descriptive that reveals a little something about the show and invokes curiosity. Rocket sounds like a space or arugula podcast.

More Female Voices in Tech? Yes Please!

I love listening to Christina, Brianna, and Simone! They brighten my week every time an episode shows up in my feed. Their conversation is fun, entertaining, and informative. I can listen to it as background noise while I work or I can listen raptly to an entire episode. It's easy to follow along; they have an excellent balance of having intellectual and informed discussions while provided background information without sounding like they are dumbing it down. I found this podcast while searching for more ladypods to add to my feed and for a replacement for Verge ESP. It's quickly become one of my favorites! I also enjoy Science for the People, Flash Forward, Science VS, The History Chicks, and Note to Self.

Thursday afternoons I'm forever checking to see if the new episode is up- it's just a uniquely awesome blend of technical accuracy and hilariousness...and always considers all sides of the topic, including the non-technical related implications - ethical, legal, social, etc. I've been listening for a year, discovered it as I was starting my IT degree- perfect timing..Favorite episode of all time so far- Kyle is a Complete Millennial. <review terminated>

So awesome

Rocket is sort of indescribable. It's not just a tech podcast--it's a how tech affects us tech podcast and tech affects us in so many ways. So it's a tech and general media podcast? Cultural? I get more culture from Rocket than anything else I watch or listen to. All three hosts are fantastic, all in different ways--part of the joy of Rocket is listening to how the hosts interact. Brianna not being able to contain her shock and laughter at Simone's ad reads, which need to be animated and televised. It's awesome.

Tech, personality, privacy, and the urgent issues that receive some of the most unique coverage I've heard--I adore the way that Brianna, Christina, and Simone discuss and tackle the topics that they feel are important.

Great tech podcast, especially with Christina Warren

I listen to many tech / apple tech podcasts and this show is in my top 3 along with Accidental Tech Podcast and Upgrade. While all 3 hosts are great, what really drives me to want to hear this podcast every time is Christina Warren's take on tech. 1) She doesn't just casually know about a topic, she dives deep and has the full complex knowledge on each of the topics she discusses. 2) Christina basically tells it as it is without sugarcoating. If she thinks a product is garbage you'll know about it. I get the feeling like we know exactly how's she's feeling about various tech topics and that's a good thing.

Finally over it

This show was quite refreshing when it first started, and I've been listening for over a year, but I'm finally fed up with Christina Warren, mostly, for always delivering 3 words where 1 will do, in a breathless tumble of barely structured information. She's amazingly knowledgable, but if you parse her sentences, you find a lot of extra words, asides, qualifications, ums, gasps for breath, and other distractions from the basic message. It's just bad radio. On the plus side, I do like Brianna Wu's industry insight. It grounds what little of the show Christina isn't busy stealing.

Eclectic

The first time I, a guy, listened I wasn't sure If I would like it but give it 2 or 3 chances and you'll find a different perspective and tangents they go off on from other tech podcast. I've grown to enjoy it more and more. I started off with punch cards then HP85, Osborn running, CPM, PC, PS2 (DOS) Wang,DEC, then back to PCs (window 3.1 to 10). I have a iPad Air2, Nexus 7, Windows Phone, and iPhone 6s which replaced a flip phone that my oldest daughter started with. The family thought I needed to move into the 20th century which is why I have the 6s. A long way to say I have eclectic taste in tech and podcast. Keep up the great work.

Glamorizes alcohol abuse regularly

Tech, games, movies, etc.--and perspectives on all of it that are both fun and interesting to listen to. Covers different stuff than other tech shows. Add it to your rotation! But I can’t give it the full 5 stars anymore. A really weird pattern has emerged, so strongly I cannot just ignore it. Many (most?) episodes glamorize alcohol abuse. They talk as though drinking to unhealthy excess is hilarious, fun, and cool. (Sometimes with a “wink! not really” token comment about the dangers, implying indirectly that only squares drink responsibly.) Talk that way in private, and do what you want to your body (I’m no puritan) but realize that you are role models for young people! Young people who die of alcohol poisoning, or accidents, or drunk driving accidents. Young people who may become addicted and ruin the entire rest of their lives. Young people who face both constant marketing and constant peer pressure that tells them alcohol abuse is normal, harmless, fun. They don’t need that same peer pressure coming at them from a random tech podcast too. I know it’s not intentional, but it keeps happening, again and again.

Three geeks that know their stuff(and also happen to be female)

Quite good, but a few small issues

I really like this podcast. I stumbled upon it, and love listening. It's insightful, challenging, and fun. The three hosts know their stuff, and always say things that I haven't heard elsewhere. I like some of the personality traits better than others, but whatever. These are smart folks. Still, if you don't know who these three are, then get ready for very strong opinions and personality traits. It makes the show what it is. In terms of technical podcast stuff, my criticisms are that the podcast could use more editing at times. I think a hour + weekly podcast is too much. Cut it to an hour, I would say. Make it more concise and topical. Maybe even 45 min. The rambling can be fun, but can go on too long at times. In addition, Simone's mic is sometimes spotty--sounds like she's on a poor Skype connection. More balance of mic levels between the three would be good as well. Last, jack the master volume a bit. It's much quieter than most of the other podcasts imho. Overall, a great podcast for people like me who love tech but aren't in the field. I'd love to see this go from a college-radio production to a full FM mainstream production quality show. Keep up the great work!

One of My Favs

I love this podcast. I always tell my friends about it. My only complaint is that I think they should do a better job at making all three of their voices at the same volume. I often find myself turning the volume up & down while I’m listening.

Unpredictable fun

What I chiefly love about Rocket is that Brianna Wu is not the unpredictable one. Sure, she does her agent of chaos thing sometimes. But she’s usually the foil for Christina’s all-out nerdiness or Simone’s cheerful, epic-scale weirdness. I’m writing this after episode 51, which covered a bio-tech startup and the new Star Wars. Tech coverage and pop culture both top-notch. There is nothing else like this show in Podcast Land.

Like the Info, Trouble with Delivery

First, I listened to this Podcast for quite a while, but I had to stop. The information discussed is fantastic—interesting and informative. The hosts, individually, are all similarly interesting and articulate in their views. I stopped listening because of one thing, but it was driving me crazy. The hosts, particularly Bri and Christina, seem to have this incredible need to interrupt and talk over each other constantly. That’s just rude to me, and it happens with such frequency that I’m constantly feeling like someone’s opinion is being dismissed so the other can launch into hers, and listening to it makes me on edge. Christina speaks very quickly (like she’s trying to get her thought out before someone interrupts) and the compression is so high on her mic that her words often drop out, even though the other two sound fine. Anyway, great information and enjoyable content with interesting hosts, but the constant interruptions of each other just made me have to stop listening because it literally made me angry.

Great when they are talking about tech, but...

Great technology based podcast when they are not ranting about personal issues or their outrage for SNL skits that they find offensive.

Fine podcasting

Episode 47 was the best 90 minutes of podcasting I've ever heard. Simone did a great job moderating. Everyone had smart things to say. Relay pulled off the impossible task of editing a 5-person podcast to sound downright coherent and professional. And all on a heavy topic. Congratulations to everyone involved!

The best take on tech you’ll hear each week

Simone, Christina and Brianna are the highlight of my week. Their insightful, knowledgeable, contextually aware look at technology, news, and culture is always informative and I always come away having learned something.

I listen to and enjoy “all the great podcasts”. This has become my favorite tech podcast, and in a such a crowded group of such high quality, that is saying a lot.

Refreshing

Discovered one of the hosts from listening to the ATP podcast some time ago. Finally tuned in and am glad I did. As a guy, it's frankly really refreshing to have the opportunity to hear discussions of some of my favorite tech topics from a panel of women. It doesn't always come into play, but when it does, having the additional female perspective is really nice. Mostly though it's just intelligent, insightful, and witTAY (see what I did there) commentary that makes for some really enjoyable car rides.

iTunes has Changed So Much

There’s a nagging feeling that the hosts contain immense potential for awesome profanity and it’s caged up... for what? Probably those mountains of podcast cash.

Brilliant with right dash of humor

Brilliant because knowledgeable and great at explaining tech topics - the right injection of humor and fun to make listening enjoyable (but not over-the-top like many of the guys' tech podcasts that are becoming 40% content and 60% self indulgence)

Excellent tech podcast

This is one of my weekly must-listen podcasts. Simone's laugh either grows on you or grinds. I made it a ring tone for my phone. The Taylor Swift detours are hilarious. And their take on tech is always interesting. Highly recommended!!

Catching up on the archive. I hope the cast continues. Being a male in tech it's great to get a feminst perspective......but I'm siding with Katy Perry

Taylor Swift and the political side of tech

Christina, Simone, and Brianna are amazing. They keep the show fun, while still having insightful discussions around issues like reddit, Twitter, mainstream presentation of leaders in tech, etc.

Who has time for another tech show?

It turns out everybody. This is simply too good. Christina Warren, Brianna Wu, and Simone “The best laugh in podcasting” de Rochefort are so incisive and on point on many tech and culture topics. Even if I don’t share their tastes in music and movies, mostly the age difference I guess, they provide the most intelligent tech/social/culture commentary of all the shows. Funny too, but then intelligent people are always funny, right?

Great voices need better mics

I love this show. It’s awesome to hear female voices in this ordinarily male-dominated zone. Each host has a great perspective and I love that they can have differing opinions without resorting to the kind of pedantic over-arguing you usually hear in the tech genre. One thing— the audio could do with some improvement. I think it’s a combination of microphones, mic technique, and editing. For instance, Christina will over be WAY over-gated to where the front and back of her sentences are completely missing. Other than that, awesome show!

The only interrupty show I can stand

I usually hate when a podcast consists of people who constantly interrupt each other, but somehow these women make it acceptable and even fun. Probably because they talk about such interesting geeky stuff and all have something useful to say. Very refreshing to find a not-just-a-bunch-of-dudes tech show with entertaining personalities and crazy-deep expertise.

Women in Tech?

I didn't know that there were females that knew anything about tech and games and things! Woah! If there weren't proof from males I trust, I would think that this would be of course just white dudes in their parent's basements pretending to be women…

The most off-topic Taylor Swift podcast I've ever listened to

I tune in every week like any good Swiftie should to hear about the latest news from Tay but the hosts keep getting derailed and talking about tech and privacy and Apple and Google. It's all super interesting but the main reason I tune in is NOT to listen to one of the most insightful discussions about today's tech industry - I'm here to hear about the Taylor/Karlie ship and which sports anime I should watch this week.

It’s not rocket science… It’s a tech podcast!

Rocket is often referred to as an all-female version of the Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP), but honestly the quality is so good that I think we should start referring to ATP as an all-male version of Rocket. Brianna, Christina, and Simone have great chemistry together and are a joy to listen to each week. If you haven’t already definitely click subscribe, because this is a podcast you won’t want to miss.

Awesome show

I love this podcast! Three intelligent and quirky women talking about all the things I enjoy, whether it be tech, gaming, programming, or anime (well, that part is mostly just Simone talking about her many boyfriend-sons). Seriously this show is awesome, give it a try!

Great Podcast!

Just listened to the episode with John Siracusa. I’m a huge Siracusa fan but I loved how the girls on the show bring a different energy and perspective to what, regrettably, is my pretty male-focused podcast listening.

Best Tech Podcast

Rocket is my new favorite podcast. Really. I still love ATP but oh my God you guys -- frog cosplay on an airplane? Losing your religion on a high-school bus ride! Cogent analysis of Microsoft's Build conference! Creating video games. Amazeballs, y'all.

I listen to this every week

Great podcast on tech, business, and pop culture! I subscribe to many podcasts; Rocket is one of the few where I never miss an episode. If you like the Accidental Tech Podcast or John Gruber's The Talk Show (from the blogger behind Daring Fireball), definitely give Rocket a listen! Keep up the great work, Brianna, Christina, and Simone. :-)

Found Rocket by way of Accidental Tech Podcast. Thoroughly enjoying it. Intelligent and insightful views on tech, entertainment and social issues with a ton of humor tossed in. The hosts are a blast to listen to and obviously know their stuff. Could not recommend it more highly!

Warning! This is not a podcast!

This is not really a podcast. This is an elaborate Turing Test for Christina Warren. I believe she is not human. She is a manifestation of IMDB in meatspace. The cohosts are probably part of a government task force created to slowly have Christina realize what she is. One star deducted because Ms Wu sometimes tries to inject more of herself than what the show needs and there is not enough Ms De Rocherfot.

One of my favorite podcasts

I’m a devout listener of all the nerd staples: ATP, Hello Internet, Connected, Upgrade (and all the other podcasts that those hosts do). While Rocket is relatively new, in my opinion it ranks up there with those heavyweights. Many of the same topics are discussed with a new perspective not often heard in male-dominated tech media, and it’s important to hear these voices. To those reviewers that complain about one person’s laugh, or speaking style, or are just being misogynistic: get over yourselves.

So refreshing

This is my new number one tech podcast. Christina Warren has a broader knowledge of the tech industry than most other analysts. The rapport is great. I love John Siracusa, but I have been listening to him for years. This is a refreshing change. Some complain about the cultural commentary. If you don't understand that tech culture is a social culture you won't like this podcast. Which is too bad, because it is great. I laugh every week.

Ok fine, I like it!

I didn’t want to listen to another hour+ long show, I don’t really have the time to fit it in. But, after listening to a few episodes I’m hooked. I like the point of view of each of the hosts: they’re all very knowledgable about their areas of expertise, and can convey that knowledge well.

Difficult to enjoy

Almost everything the host says sounds like a question, except for the questions. And either the mics used are low quality or the room they use isn't set up for podcasts or both.

I didn’t know what the hell a Jem was, but I listened anyways.

A podcast is good if you keep listening despite knowing nothing about the subject. Like the title suggests, I knew nothing about Jem, but I kept listening anyways because the conversation was worth listening in and of itself. The hosts know their stuff, the conversations are worth listening to, and as a bonus, Rocket isn’t yet another podcast full of white dudes yakkin’ about Apple.

Best new podcast of the new year!

Really enjoying the back and forth between all the hosts. They all bring very fresh perspectives to a topic that’s sometimes very dry. I always look forward to seeing these episodes pop up on my podcast app! If you enjoy this, definitely check out Brianna Wu’s great gaming podcast, Isometric.

Great take on a tech chat show

Brianna, Christina, and Simone talk about tech, movies, and books. They already have great chemistry together and lots of energy about things they love. They also bring a much needed new take on the “couple of guys chatting about tech” show type. I’ve been looking for a show like this, that isn’t all guys, for years now!
