- Darrell Bird – “I’ve been listening since that middle of last year on STITCHER, and I look forward to every episode. The casual banter combined with humor and relevant information makes for an easy, enjoyable listen. Keep up the good work and don’t change the intro song. It’s unique among the tech casts and does make me smile.”
- Tim Griffiths – ” Hey guys. You asked Stitcher people to let you know we’re listening. I found the show on there by searching “Android” on there. I enjoy the show and listen every week. Thanks!”
