The guy behind the guy!

I had the privilege of working with btong way back in the early 2000s and not only is he a great , but when it cones to Apple products he is highly knowledgeable. If you are looking to learn about Apple products and trends do yourself a favor and subscribe to this podcast!

Informative show with great guests when they come on

I have been a follower of Brian Tong since his CNET days and the show just keeps getting better over time. He has a great work ethic that is shown with his content, and he gives a balanced approach to Apple as well as the perspective from a consumer’s point of view, which really matters to me. A lot of content creators in the tech world think about it from their point of view when it comes to products, and of course he does that as well, but he also thinks realistically when it comes to which products to recommend. I also like that he dabbles in other companies as well so just Google or Samsung just to see what’s out there and show us as consumers what else is out there. No podcast is perfect, but this is a really great enjoyable. listen.

Just found this and love it

Well, I guess the title really says it all. I found this in Apple Podcasts only because I was there reading transcripts of some other show; normally I use Overcast. I will be listening to a lot of your old shows and everything going forward. Thanks so much.

Apple News

You use Apple News? That’s not news, it’s propaganda. C’mon, man.

Inconsistent

Every episode is a different length and is rarely released weekly.

Great pod cast with mostly all guests.

Love the podcast except when ray wong is on. You could do a drinking game with the word “right” between those two. But that being said it’s a great pod cast that’s very easy to listen to and keeps you up to date and excited about aple products.

Tech news I regularly tune into

He’s just colorful and honest! The shows don’t go on forever (except for the live Apple event streams lol) and he seems very to the point and genuine as he points out things that most average joes care about. Thought it was time to give him his due cuz I’ve been listening to Brian since his Cnet days w/ Molly Wood. Hope u keep it goin strong brotha!

Fun take on Apple products

I appreciate the awesome and entertaining podcasts. I love all of the technical information you provide about Apple products, but I especially like the way you keep it entertaining and fresh. That’s a good Apple! Check out this podcast as this guys keeps it real. This is not a podcast where someone is reading a script in a monotone voice. Fun way to enhance my commute. I like how he throws in his mom as a reference point for the non-techie’s viewpoint.

Smart home episode was ehh

The last episode off the show (currently) was not great at all. I usually appreciate the knowledge of Brian and his way to see things objectively, but the guest was knowledgeable about audio systems and that’s it. The HomeKit ecosystem is small for reason for security checks and balances that happen with an an system that does not open it up to everybody with its intention. Now I doubt that Brian is going to acknowledge this review but I would like it put out there that this episode got a huge eye-roll from me from the guest actual knowledge outside of music and assuming that people want a ton different products from different brands all to doing who knows what in their house. Oh PS, nobody wants a actual TV from Apple, TVs are getting replaced by headsets and other products by the end of the decade

Not Just Another Tech Podcast

Sure, Brian is knowledgeable about all of the latest tech inside the world of Apple, but what sets him apart is that he has fun with it! I have listened to this podcast for a long time and love the flavor and feel that Brian brings. You don’t have to be a super tech nerd to enjoy this podcast. It is for everyone.
