    Best Nerdy Tech Show
    The 3 (2.5) admin gentlemen are a joy to listen to. Great charisma between the hosts. A little bit of news kinda like the daily show but more knowledge base than that. If you wanna keep up to date with IT security news and get a good laugh, check them out. They even do some free consulting at the end. I look forward to each week’s show.

    Kinda weird…
    I can’t tell if it’s just marketing or if it’s actually AI generated but listening to this podcast is like reading spam email. It’s all product placements and ads and none of the commentary makes sense.

    Tired of excuses of 2/3 hosts to be on Twitter the sewage river
    I am tired of excuses of 2/3 hosts to be on Twitter the sewage river. May pick up the podcast at some other point

    Loud Political Language in Tech
    Outrageous and unnecessary political comments on various technologies are abundant. I’m not just referring to Democrats and Republicans. There’s a deeply disgruntled host who probably just needs to take a break from absorbing all of the mainstream media and social media content. When you understand what drives media, you’ll understand that its content is not exactly heathy and very likely inaccurate.

    Awesome Pod
    I love the podcast brothers. Very insightful and entertaining at the same time! Keep it going.
  • PDX_Kurt
    All my favorite tech podcasters, in one tasty stream
    I've enjoyed these three gentlemen in separate, prior podcasts (Allan in BSD now, Jim in Tech Snap, and Joe in Linux Action News) for years, and to have them all brought together in one show is fantastic! You've got Allan and Jim's real-world experience on a range of systems, from globe-spanning content delivery down to basement server backup systems, all tied up with gentle prods from Joe's self-deprecating good humor. Allan is legendary in the BSD/ZFS world, Jim has an insatiable curiousity for all things tech, and Joe brings a "man on the street" Linux perspective. I learn something every episode.

    I haven’t found another podcast like this
    As an industry professional, I like listening to these folks talking shop, and I always learn something.
  • ThePodger
    Well worth your time
    Informed opinions with real world experience is what you get from this informative and engaging group. If you are a sysadmin, you are doing yourself a disservice if you ignore this podcast.
  • Bruce.js
    Podcast Synergy
    1 + 1 + 0.5 = 10 ! Yes, it is good 😊
  • guinnessguypat
    Some of the best podcasters team up
    Alan and Jim make a great team because of their differing perspectives on how to do the same jobs. Joe of course adds his trademark personality to the mix and makes it even more entertaining. highly recommend a listen!!
  • MMeffert
    Great combination of hosts
    My favorite hosts all combined together in one episode. This show is turning into what TechSNAP was in the good old days. Great job! Keep it up!

    Information Never Sounded So Great
    Anything Joe produces is going to sound great and the rest of his crew seem to know what they’re talking about.
