It's great to find a podcast where the hosts both understand the tech they're talking about while treating it with the disdain it deserves. Sick of all the gushing casts about how wonderful all the new *insert buzzword here* tech is? Check out grumpy old geeks.

Hey Guys, I've been a fan of the show for a while. My wife recently had a baby and I was stuck in the hospital and binge listened to at least 20 episodes. As always, your show rocks, you two have a great dynamic, and I love David Bitner from the CyberWire coming on (subscribed to them as well thanks to your show!). I like your podcast enough to suffer through iTunes on Windows to submit this review - that's saying something! Keep up the great work, and stay grumpy my friends!

I enjoy the podcast! My friend and I always has conversation about what technology is slow feeding us and how the great ideas from TEDx and Kickstarter get slowed by corporate greed and the Technology buzz words: 'Platform, Synergy, Social Media, Mr. Robot!' You guys inspire me to get my podcast back on track because you guys let me know it's a market for not being programmed.

Loving the IoT security updates. Fun way to get recaps of tech week

I have always been interested in tech from a very young age, but never new much about the tech world. Earlier this year I decided to make a career switch into coding and was looking for podcasts that would inform me on all things tech. While this podcast wasn't something I expected I have to say it sparked my interest with all the different categories and interesting articles. P.S. The voice that announces the segments reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Jason, it's your neighbor, Mr. K, from 4B. Your dog won't shut up. You won't answer your phone and I have no other medium to contact you with except through this podcast review.....So, take care of your dang dog. He's annoying everyone around here. I need him to shut up. I'm getting a migraine and it has dog written all over it. I don't know where you went off to or why he won't just shut up, but if you don't get here soon........ Well, you'll be sorry then......Grumpy old idiot stupid dog owner......hmmmpf......Good podcast though.

Smart enough that I'm always learning something, but not at the level where I need a computer science degree to understand it. This is one of the few podcasts where I listen to every show as soon as I get it. Being an old (or maybe former) goth, this also has the benefit of including what little news there is about some of my favorite old bands, like Siouxsie, Bauhaus, The Sisters, etc. All that and they're funny, too. I am so grateful for these guys!

I like when you guys have other Podcast guests on since it has saved me time searching around. I now subscribe to Cyber Wire, DIHL and a couple others from off GOG. One recomendation for DIHL (Preditor 1). Have you tried to get John C. Devorak On (No Agenda)? Or does he think he is to big for you guys? I here he Grumps for Wine. Maybe you can have a Grump Off. Also. I know you guys always recommend an Affordable VPN service but being A Grumpier Older Geek (58) I soon forget. My current service is 9.99/M, I need to get to connect to Sweden or A Boat somewhere soon. lol. Jack Engle

Transported to a sureal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three others to kill again! Oh wait that was Wizard Of Oz. This is GOG and if you are old enough to know what Wizard Of Oz is and you happen to have worked in pretty much any tech field over the past 25+ years then most likey you are jaded and bitter. I know I am so I really enjoy listening to Jason and Brian talk about what is going on nowadays with their own take on it all. I wouldn't miss an episode.

Love these guys. Savvy smart and oh so grumpy!

I might be the only 19 year old woman who listens to this podcast (I presume). Jason and Brian make such a great team! Covering interesting news stories all in one fun podcast, with great perspectives on the tech world from both of them.

Was looking for a fun podcast that's a good mix of tech and media and this doesn't dissapoint. Although I'm not quite as old I more than make up for it in grump. Keep up the good work!

These guys make listening to podcast fun and entertaining. Great topics and awesome format. Always enjoy fridays when they come out with a new episode

This podcast hits all the right notes. The chemistry of the presenters is great, they obviously work hard to gather the information and think about it before presenting it in a fun format. None of the condescension found in many tech casts, and none of the fan boy stuff or sales pitches for the latest and greatest. Just enjoyable all around and well done. I look forward to each episode.

This is my favorite not to be missed podcast. It's not necessarily for everyone, but listening and actually thinking about opinions differing from one's own can really expand the horizions, so give it a shot. And their At the Library section has many great recommendations.

I personally think this is the best podcast out there! Everything from current event news, crazy security breaches, and just good, grumpy fun! Out of all the podcasts I subscribe to, GOG is the one that never sits in my queue for long. Keep up the amazing work!

Had a bear of a time getting someplace to rate your podcasts. This is from iTunes. I happen to like opinions from others, and I found it worth paying for to hear something intelligent and funny. You guys fit the bill. Thanks for all the hard work. Will keep listening. Need instructions on exactly how to vote for each podcast. Tried this app, which had no place I could find to rate your work. Tried the Apple Podcast, and failed to find a solution there. Perhaps I am just dumb, putting me in the 99% group of today's public. But I will perservere to find the right place to rave about you.

I've been through my fair share of podcasts this summer and this is still the only one that legitimately makes me smile when I see a new episode in my feed. Great mix of humor, tech news, hating on Kanye and politics (even though I'm generally against obvious bias, I'm very OK with as many anti-trump comments you can throw our way, so keep it coming!). They really know their stuff, and as an engineering student it's a really great (and sometimes horrifying) window into the world that I will soon be entering. On a slightly unrelated note, I used to think that Jason was kind of a dick, and he probably still is, but I've kind of grown numb to it at this point and don't even notice anymore. I can't imagine the show without your guys' direct and upfront take on how screwed up the world is and I sincerely hope you keep making these gems! As a college student, I don't have too much money to be donating if I actually want to eat real food, but I'll try to come up with something sometime soon. You guys definitely deserve it. PS. I have now finished typing this review for a second time after iTunes notifying me the first time that my nickname was taken and then kindly deciding that this meant I didn't want my review anymore and deleted the entire thing, but you guys are definitely worth the five star rating (hence the 'Also screw iTunes' parenthetical).

Love the Grumpy Old Geeks podcast. I never miss it. The problem is that I get so engaged in all of the topics the guys are discussing that I end up talking back to my speakers. No matter how loud I talk, it's almost as if Jason & Brian aren't listening to me.

I found these guys on a whim when searching for something new to listen to while on a trip. Very entertaining, informative and funny. I don't understand why other reviewers are claiming that they are negative or swear a lot. They give their honest opinions which may not always be sunshine and rainbows. If you want that sort of thing, go watch some crappy children's programming. Jason and Brian are awesome as they are. The Brexit show had me laughing out loud. Keep up the good work guys, you have a new fan! ❤️😍 -Laura

I've been a grumpy geek since my parents got me a TI-99/4A instead of the Atari 800 I wanted. Haven't stopped being a grumpy geek yet. Happy I found this podcast. They talk about the subjects that matter. Technology, pop culture, bit of politics with an actual point of view. These 2 don't recycle opinions, they actually formulate their own! Revolutionary eh? I love them so much I opened this app I despise to give them a review.

Long time listerner, love the show. I am in the same age bracket as you guys and can totally relate to what your discussing. I hope you keep doing this for as long as possible. Pod Casts wont be the same without you. You make my drive home from work so great I dont even notice the traffic. And thats saying alot for OC traffic.

Love these guys. Very funny and highly recommended. Real tech mix up... Funny and enjoyable.
