Better Offline is a weekly show exploring the tech industry’s influence and manipulation of society - and interrogating the growth-at-all-costs future that tech’s elite wants to build.
Combining narrative-form storytelling, one-on-one interviews and panel-based discussions, Better Offline cuts through the buzzwords and obfuscation of the tech industry, investigating and evaluating the schemes and scams of everyone from cryptocurrency scumbags to the greediest of the venture capital elite. Tech industry veteran Ed Zitron and a dynamic coterie of guests will help listeners understand the who, how and why of how tech’s most powerful players are changing the world - for better or for worse.

I'm hoping this changes as the show progresses, but I find it annoying how much time it seems like Zitron is talking at the audience as opposed to talking to his guest. Even if Zitron, the guest, and I all agree on the point, I want to hear the guest's insight and feel a dynamic between them and the host. Not the guest occasionally getting a chance to say their bit in between mini-rants, it sounds like punditry. Save the rant for a monologue lol
you talk too fast and your microphone is shit techboy.
Dude. you're half my age and you're gonna give yourself a heart attack. Chill out. go on vacation, fishing trip, whatever. Relax. who gives a flying fuck?
you're right. but shut the fuck up please.
I've always believed that betting is more about strategy than luck. Therefore, I needed a platform where I could calculate everything, look at the history of matches, and take into account the shape of the teams. On the xbet app platform, I managed to combine excitement and calculation without sacrificing convenience and security. I feel confident here because I know that everything is working as it should, and my time is not being wasted.
