    Stop interrupting
    while Ben is speaking. And, I think I know all of Ben’s favorite phrases and words.

    Beat Tech Podcast
    Ben is the best voice/writer in tech and Andrew is a great co-host. Must listen in my rotation.

    You sound like the Crunchtime guy on NBATV
    Love the pod: the takes, making the case, and creative in-depth analysis

    Actually…
    Take a drink every time Ben says the word “actually”.

    Good show but Andrew detracts from quality
    I enjoy the show overall and learn a lot from Ben on each episode. Unfortunately, Andrew leaves a lot to be desired as a co-host. He sometimes is defiantly uninformed and skeptical of technology. He injects ignorant and sanctimonious takes on culture and society that add nothing to the conversation and only distracts the listener. I very much welcome rigorous critiques of modern technology, big business, and tech’s impact on the world, but Andrew does not have the tools or curiosity to do that - he just has simplistic pet peeves and axes to grind that he repeats over and over. Examples are his proclamation that social media in general have no value; on another episode, he proudly announced of his ignorance of even the theoretical value of major tech platforms like linkedin. I encourage Ben to find another co-host, ideally someone who is interested in thinking more deeply about tech than Andrew.

    Not Another Tech Podcast
    I’ve been in the world of tech and startups for as long as I can remember. After a while, you get sick of all the same programming and overused tropes like “Market Discovery,” “Disruption,” & “Innovation.” Andrew Sharp takes a practical approach to explaining complex topics with a down-to-earth tone. As someone who loves and sometimes loathes the tech world, this podcast is a breath of fresh air. 5/5

    Great host chemistry
    Love the conceit of tech guy explaining to non tech guy, and the hosts have great chemistry for it. Looking forward to woman-splaining tech stuff to my friends after I catch up on the back episodes!
