Episode 35: S2E2 A Little Knowledge Is A Dangerous Thing
I hope you weren't looking for us to actually talk about technology news this episode. We took this snowy, icy morning to just catch up on personal projects, trips, and a few tidbits in the broader world. Rest assured next week we'll get back into the mucky muck.
Customer Reviews

With a penchant for jokes and arena of technology, anybody looking for insightful looks into the concerns of today will be well satisfied by Shiny. Love it, 5 stars.
Tech Talk for Everybody
Shiny Podcast is great! I'm not the most tech savy fellow there is, but hosts Colin and Chris approach the topics of tech, gaming, free flow of information, and so many others with the perfect mix of passion and relatability. If by some chance you hear a piece of jargon that you don't initially understand while listening to this show, count on being well informed on the matter by the end of the program.
I recommend this podcast for anybody who aspires to understand how things in the tech world relate to their lives, or even for those who just enjoy listening to knowledgable, passionate people engaged in thoughtful but accessible conversation.
The guests also happen to be top notch. Where do they even find these people?
Entertaining and informative
You'd expect people with this level of knowledge concerning the broad scope of tech and the tech industries to be dry and stilted, but the Shiny Podcast is pleasantly entertaining and coherent on top of condensing extremely useful current event information for listeners. They are also extremely nice and responsive, so if you have questions, they're easy to reach! A solid podcast that is only getting better!
