    I’m actually listening to this podcast as I am typing I was waiting for it to come out
  • Baggins333
    Can’t wait
    New to the podcast genre, I just came across this a couple weeks ago, right in time for their summer break. Looking forward to more!
  • Bmax147

  • Dannyk4
    Jason’s a cutie
    😉
  • Goer13
    Awesome!
    Lots of informational and timely tech news that’s presented in a fun and engaging format. This podcast has everything from trivia questions about net neutrality to haiku eulogies, and debates over streaming services to a sausage grill. Highly recommend!!
  • c-to-the-z
    What a blast!
    Seriously fun way to get up to date on all the tech news. The hosts are insightful, informed, and corny in the best way possible. Laughed out loud.
  • JLederman92
    This show is great!
    I was a fan of Last Week in Tech, so I was so excited when the PopSci team announced they were doing a new show. I stan Techathlon—and not just because of Stan! It's funny, informative, and an easy, fun weekly listen. Can't wait for more episodes!
  • Raffle duck
    What a fun show
    There's a lot of tech news to keep up with and a lot of boring podcasts to tell you about it, but this is like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me for gadget nerds. Can't wait to hear more!
  • ___Colonel
    What a fun and smart show!
    Love the PopSci folks! Want more of them in my ears!
  • WinStuffDailyThief
    More beard!
    We need more Stan, less of the other two guys and the same amount of the lady. She is the only one witty enough to keep up with Stan. The other two are dry/trying too hard. Stan brings the info and humor... and the beard.
  • BCRIII
    Keep it up!
    Loving this.
  • ryanrperry
    Fun and informative
    It is good to have fun while learning.
  • Joebrown
    A more fun way to get tech news
    I really appreciate how the hosts get you up to date on everything that’s going on without you even knowing it.
  • millenniumfalcon3
    Informative and fun!
    I work in the tech industry and find this podcast not only informative on the latest updates in the tech world but also fun and interesting to listen to! Keep this up- can’t wait for the next episode!
