I found the constant giggling and laughter took away from the subject matter which is quite good.
The other podcast I listen to will announce when they going to ads.
Not this one, just straight into advertisements with no pause or warning.
full disclosure i haven’t actually listened to this yet i only just discovered it on Threads, but i loved Queens of the Drone Age so much that this is an instant follow. Rae Johnston and Tegan Jones are fricken rad. not *that* Rad, she’s not on this show i don’t think. it’s short for radical god i’m so old lol. bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fun, well-paced chats about the oddities of tech.
Tegan and Rae also talked about my fave band = 5 stars!
Tegan and Rae are awesome, they bring something new and fun to tech reviews. It’s nice to not get bogged down in the same old
and instead listen to a short, fun ep about something weird!
