Great show!

This show is great! I often don’t have time to read Hackaday so this podcast does a great job highlighting interesting stories. The rotating hosts are all excellent and add a lot of great commentary.

Smart and funny!

I've listened to these guys for years now, and their work hasn't gone unnoticed. This podcast is really well done, smart, clever, and funny. I hope my review helps to promote their podcast and brings in new listeners. Mat Somers Ponte Vedra Beach Florida, USA

so good

absolutely fantastic and enrapturing to a compsci major like me who’s trying to get into hardware hacking. everything is just enough over my head to reach up and grab it—aka perfect.

Finally!

I have been searching for a tech related podcast and I have finally found it. This show is perfect. The hosts have great chemistry and the topic discussions are in-depth and interesting. Somehow how these guys can speak intelligently without sounding arrogant and they joke around without sounding cheesy. I’m looking forward to many episodes to come so I can learn more about the electronics side of making (I come from the woodworking side). Keep up the solid work. - Dan (HammerTree)
