I really appreciate how informative and timely this show is. I get a new episode covering tech while it’s topical, with content that anticipates my questions and concerns (plus a lot I don’t expect). Tysm Morgan, Chris, Chris, Maya, Brendan, and the others at KQED.

Learning something new!

I started listening to this podcast at the recommendation of a friend. I first listened to the piece about Ukraine and was blown away. Amazing access, I felt like I was right there with the narrator, the storytelling made it really easy to listen to and it raised so many interesting and important questions. I’ve since listened to all the other episodes that have aired and am sharing it with other friends to listen too. Really great work, I love coming across a podcast that actually teaches me Something new and is also fun to listen to!

You should start listening NOW!

I just started listening to this podcast and I’m obsessed. I learn so much from each episode. They are very well put together and offer lots of POVs and angles to each topic. I highly recommend if you’re looking to expand they way you see the world and all the intersting intersections

Gem of a find

Just had this recommended by NPR “Up First” pod (“looking for your next great listen” ep). You KNOW you found a good one when it’s hard to decide what ep to listen to first! I chose the Spotify ep cuz I have recently been discussing it with family and friends. Love being able to share pod eps with loved ones and have a lil book club type chat after. Great material here. Keep those tabs to a minimum, y’all ;)
