  • Come for the info and stay for Richard’s rant’s

    Josh and Richard are great guys to listen to, have a really good rapport, and are very knowledgeable. I started listening when the focus of the show was Windows Media Center and Microsoft entertainment products and despite all of us having since moved on from those groundbreaking apps, I still find myself tuning in every week and joining the live chat when I can. Great show and I can’t recommend it enough.
