Best when Christina isn’t arguing or interrupting
Although I appreciate the knowledge and contributions Christina brings to the show, my favorite episodes are when she’s not there. It makes the episodes more relaxed when Simone and Brianna aren’t constantly trying to get a word in or being constantly interrupted by disagreements or micro explaining.

the best worst podcast on relay fm
but, thankfully, like most superlatives i.e. "most likely to pull the ultimate scam and maybe be a secret skrull alien or a ditto" and be a hard tie between SBF, Holmes, and Elon Tusk (my elephant pokémon pride and joy), Rocket's descriptor doesn't do it justice - it's a great podcast and one of the best overall not just on relay fm. also i bought the 10$ extra for no reason shirt and as a resident of the state containing the city whose needle is used to thread space (no, mark, other threads) i have to know - am i extra scammy? can i wear this shirt or will gov inslee use microsoft and niantic to track me down? and as long as i'm here and don't drink, if you see me in the shirt i request a friendly hello and a minifigs trade . people like me - awesome age, not just white dudes, enthusiasts for tech and scandals! recommend.

A sense of humor and insightful discussion
… are what set this podcast apart from the others and so much so, I became a Rocket Booster.

Please stop interrupting each other 😬
All three hosts are awesome and love their perspective but(I’m not sure if there is a way to fix it) they have a habit of talking over each other and it’s a hard listen. Just allow the other person to finish their sentence. Often it happens before a thought is fully expressed.

Yes, yes…
Fun, serious when needed, and always insightful, Rocket is one of my most-looked-forward-to podcasts every week. Bonus: Episode 397 introduced me to “Scared” – the new true-crime podcast thriller from NBC. Truly a must-listen. 😉

Great way to keep up with tech news!
Fun, easygoing conversation with excellent hosts.

Listened since the beginning
I’ve listened since episode one was fresh and have not missed a single episode. Always a highlight of my week when the new episode is published.

Rocket Rules
One of the smartest podcasts about the ways that tech affects our world! Brianna, Christina, and Simone are all incredibly smart, insightful, and their chemistry is unmatched. Also shoutout to Simone giving some of the finest ad reads in podcasting writ large.

Smart and funny tech talk
Rocket is my favorite tech podcast! I love their discussions about Apple and the wider worlds of tech and gaming. Christina, Simone, and Brianna have great chemistry, and it’s such a joy to hear what they have to say every week. Keep up the great work!

the only good show about tech news
This is the only show about technology news (rather than history or culture) that is not only listenable, but good. I love the variety of topics the three hosts cover, and they manage to go in depth enough to make me feel informed while still capturing breadth. Give it a listen if you’re looking for smart and experienced guides to the constantly changing world of tech!

I love this podcast! Brilliant, fast talking women
A podcast hated by snowflake racists and Elon fan-boys for daring to tell the truth. If you love tech or video games or smart, snarky ladies you will love this podcast! If you couldn’t get enough of the train-wreck that was Theranos or Anna Delvey you have come to the right place. Host Brianna Wu has worked herself into the hospital to make sure we all get a chance vote in the next election. If you too need to have a laugh for a minute, because you are worried about global warming and the tyranny of the minority taking away our civil rights, this podcast is for you. And make sure to listen to the ad reads — they are just bonkers! The best!

Great tech insight from various backgrounds in the tech industry
This is the single podcast I look forward to the most each week. It always delivers!

Engaging and fun content
I love this show. I’m a new follower and I’ve been looking for a show that has stimulating conversation yet if I get interrupted and miss something it doesn’t matter. I found it in this show! Except I don’t want to miss anything because these three women are so engaging and fun!

Please stop sighing
Brianna, please please please stop that awful habit of letting out a big sigh every time you start to talk about something, I don't know when you started doing it but it seems to be getting worse and it sounds so awful 😿 it makes me want to stop listening to the podcast while I love it so much, I have been listening since Isometric

A fun and informative podcast to listen too!
I really enjoy listening to the eclectic group of Christina, Brianna, and Simone providing their perspectives on technology and the news! Simone, just for you: Rocket is both “super cool” and deserving of a “Burning Five-Star Hot” review! Your listeners pay attention!!!
MailButlerFan
Amazing show
Rocket is such a fun show, there's always something interesting being discussed that I don't hear on the (too many) other tech shows I listen to. Also I think guest shows are just as fun! Apparently that opinion isn't being expressed in many reviews.
aidantrager
Full of new ideas
On all their topics, the hosts are well informed of mainstream views but offer a perspective that's often unique. If tech and geekery is important in your life then you need to hear what these women and their guests have to say.

I’m just here for the way Simone reads ads
these are my tech friends that keep me company at work.

Too many politics
When they stick to technology and video games an other similar things, it’s great. Lately it’s become too political. Had to tune it out

3 Lively Gals Talk Tech
I have been listening to this podcast for years and have enjoyed every minute of it. They talk about mostly Apple products but with Christina as one of the hosts also working for Microsoft we get a good PC side of it too. Basically they are aren't afraid to talk the serious media side of tech and it's implications on society with a down to earth conservation you feel as if you are in the room with them. The laughs they share also between some of the more "dessert" topics that are also discussed keep the podcast on the light side and easy to listen to. What are you waiting for? Subscribe and be in the conservation and share a laugh!!

Get well soon. Even though I can listen to this podcast with 2 members or visitors, it needs all 3 members to be complete.

Help I’m old and can’t keep up with tech news
Thankfully, these nice folks do a whole podcast about it. I’ve been listening for years now and it’s fun to have context for scamtown, rose gold, thanksgiving candy corn, and so much more. Very intelligent and well-researched with lots of dessert and silly voices during ad reads. I learned a lot about Anna Sorokin from this tech news podcast and I think that’s great.
CJ Alicandro
Super Entertaining
Super entertaining. I do warn that they can get really deep into tech and legislative jargon but TBH the exposure is needed. I also do warn they can get fairly political but some tech conversations are meant to be political so *shrug*.

Great Podcast
Very simple review….love it. Very entertaining and informative!

Rocket is a necessary part of a well-balanced geek podcast diet
As a longer time listener to Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP) and Connected, I found Rocket to be a real revelation. While covering many of the same topics as the other two, Rocket really does sometimes have a very different take, and also has a very different presentation style. Outstanding ad reads. You really should give it a try. This review is terminated!
justafed
Is it just me or...
Does it seem like Christina and Brianna do not under any circumstances get along? I love Bri and I love Christina, can y’all just hug it out (virtually)?! I cringe every time Bri talks to Christina because she can be so abrasive and rude in her reply. Kind of shocking actually.
mobyfict
Perfect mix of fun and informative
I’ll say this podcast is not for everyone, if you’re liberal minded and actually care about the welfare of people this is the podcast for you. There is good tech information and a good mixed perspective that gives framework to different issues, such as the recent blow up and cool down of the game stop stock.
the17thchoice
Fun listening
Rocket sounds like what it is, three friends getting together to talk about their industry and interests. Do I agree with them all the time? Of course not! But I think it’s fun to hear their takes and then hassling each other.
BillWeiss
good show but annoying host
one of the hosts sounds like she’s going to eat the mic. idk if she’s sitting super close or what, but her audio sounds terrible compared to the other two

Interesting, fun, and entertaining!
Interesting podcast on all things tech by three ladies in the industry.

Fun tech podcast
Love this show. Have listened from day 1. All three gusts are smart, funny and able to talk tech so I can understand it and learn more about things I never knew I would be interested in. Also love scam town news! Simone’s ad reads are so funny that I am not tempted to skip them. Never know what I might miss! Thanks for putting on such a great show. I also choose to be a paid subscriber as this show is worth it!

Was a fun tech industry listen but no longer
Unless you want to hear an ongoing undertone of hard uninformed leftist politics. Also, one of the moderators has too much “baggage” and is toxic goods. Christina would do well by moving on. She’s got a very bright future!

Honest & fun & def. tech!
I love Rocket. They are honest. Honest in their reasoning and honest in their experience. The new iPhone comes out, they are like "The camera bump is so ugly eww". And then they all get the phone and love it, and they just are honest about it. And they are so funny! Brianna is like, "you can trade in your old phone" And Simone (Who reads ads in such a way that you actually listen to them instead of skipping) goes "well, what if I have used it as a spoon to eat ice cream with, will I still get a good trade-in value?" and Christina just TAKES THIS STRAIGHT UP SERIOUS. "If you have not damaged it you should be ok, unless... you weren’t eating Rocky Road!?". People smile at me as I walk along the street because I am laughing when I listen to Rocket, which is also super informative, and so be happy go for a walk and love your tech life :-) Ps video games at end, always a dessert topic ! I think I only listened to the past 25 weeks, but they have done 250 so they are really getting good!

Listening to friends
I always enjoy hearing about the new exciting things my friend have to say. That's how I feel when I listen to Rocket. All the topics are intriguing and I always seem to get great game recommendation. Thank you guys for doing this podcast.

One of the best tech podcasts period
I knew how amazing Christina was from Mashable. I consider her on of the brightest minds in the tech world. Then there is Brianna. She is just as amazing and brings a different view at times that makes you think. Lastly the hidden jewel of the podcast is Simone. OMG, I cant tell you how many times I have had to stop the show from laughing. And her as reads are the best in the biz. Is it wrong I look forward to the ads to see what she is going to do? Mix is the pop culture and train wrecks (Frye Festival, Theranos, Movie Pass and more). Keep up the amazing work! Grab your Krispie Kreme doughnut and listen

Great podcast
I love this podcast. It is informative about the technology, and it is fun to listen to as well. I look forward to it appearing in my queue every week.

Is it me, or it's more depressing than it used to be?
Not sure if it's me or them -- but four years ago when it started -- it was much better. Now it's more depressing and more and more I notice that it sits unlistened in my queue. I would unsubscribe, but the day I decided if it will be as bad as it was, they release great episode. So, I'll say it: inconsistent lately. Probably, it's me.

Re: #202: Christina's Makes a Good Buying Decision
Rocket is definitely one of my favorite podcast shows. Why? Bri, Christina, and Simone always keeps the discussions fun, informative, and engaging. Furthermore, they are simply awesome. Now, I truly enjoyed this episode because they didn't pull any punches regarding Facebook by providing the fans of the show with some much needed analysis as the Facebook executives. Bravo!!!! Keep it going and wish you all much success!!!!

Helped this Luddite learn tech
Congrats on 200 episodes! I started listening to Rocket when I got my first job in tech. I’m a writer who majored in English, but listening to this podcast has made me more well-versed in tech than many of the engineers I work with. Thanks Simone, Christina, and Bri for helping me overcome imposter syndrome and for all your hard work putting out an entertaining podcast week after week. I don’t know how you do it, but I’m so glad you do!

I’m not sure yet.
I really wanted to like this podcast. I like to hear a woman’s perspective on tech but the episode I listened to was a little to political for my liking. I’ll give it another chance we will see......

Just Great
Truly a great and normal type of podcast!

Great show
A great and normal show.

Love this podcast
I always get excited when there’s a new episode because these gals always make my commute a lot better. Their talks about top tech/geek news are always very informative, funny and their opinions always sound genuine. They have a great dynamic and its always fun to listen to Simone promote their sponsors.

Refreshing
So enjoy your podcasts. Great info, insight and refreshing perspective. My only critique is for Christina to slow down! Sometimes you speak so fast it is indecipherable. Thanks and keep it up!

Say No to Gun Control
I like tech, but sick of all the talk about legislating every aspect of our lives. The episode calling for gun control, when the hosts are obviously uneducated about firearms was the last straw. No more listening from me. I wish you would see the rights of law abiding gun owners the way you see the rights of the lgbt community or the many others that you talk about standing up for. Stand up for our freedom! You want to save lives? How about we ban alcohol. More people and kids die from drinking and driving than firearms, but nobody wants to talk about that. Wait....we tried that.

Awesome show with great conversations!
I love this show and I am so happy I found it. The hosts are wonderful and I really enjoy everything they talk about. I always feel more informed (and entertained) after listening. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite podcasts
Christina, Brianna, and Simone are all great hosts. I’m about 3/4 of the way through listening to all their episodes and I have been recommending it to friends. Not only do they curate interesting topics of discussion, but their experiences in journalism, development, and politics make for lively, well-informed listening. I have learned a ton from these awesome pros. Plus, if you’re into quirky anecdotal tangents, there’s some of that too! (It’s also apparently a thing that if they ever run into you irl and you’re wearing rocket swag, they’ll buy you a drink and hang out for a minute, which sounds pretty cool to me.) ***If you’re looking for other informative and entertaining tech podcasts I’d have to recommend Internet History Podcast and Acquired. Thanks for Rocket Christina, Bri, and Simone! Please never stop making content!
