    Entertaining, insightful and actionable! 👏
    Whether you’re well established as someone innovating in the IoT community, or just getting started on your journey - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Stacey does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of successfully navigating an ever changing technological landscape - with leaders that have deep domain expertise. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

    Why insult Fox News listeners?
    Implying that Fox News watchers are misinformed is a great way to alienate a lot of your listeners. I will get my IoT news from elsewhere.
  • Tech in training 121
    Good into
    Great info on new products. Love the show.
  • Adobespain
    Too much Amazon
    Very Amazon oriented show. Probably the sponsor of the show.
  • Blizzard1s2d
    Great helpful, full of news
    This podcast needs to have a much clearer and more obvious distinction between advertising content and podcast content. There is no musical mark or change in tone; I often tune out during the adverts and paid promotional content then miss a bunch. There seem to be long paid promotional interviews in middle of the podcast?! — I know these podcasters are professional journalists! They are skeptical people who do massive independent research and we listen because we trust them. For the audience to trust the journalism content, the audience must know when sponsored or influenced content is being presented. My local newspaper is terrible at this, with its ads masquerading as articles and “articles” written by realtors or “experts” at various companies flogging their products, and I hate it. I’ve really enjoyed Stacey on Twit’s This Week in Google which is very long and conversational. She’s an expert in the nitty-gritty of internet communication tech. This podcast is more focused on IoT and is full of great news. Kevin is the king of ChromeBook reviews. Make sure to check out their writing!
  • malfoxley
    Great show!
    Stacey and Kevin, hosts of the Internet of Things Podcast, highlight all aspects of IoT and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!
  • Scott👨‍💻
    Improve the audio quality, limit the ads!
    I really want to enjoy listening to this show but just can't. Only a third of the show is actual news/content. The rest is either an advertisement disguised as a story, or a boring phone interview. The audio quality is so awful, I usually end up shutting it off whenever they go to someone talking over the phone. It's 2021 and yet this podcast about the latest technology insists on using antiquated technology (a sponsored PSTN line) to record content. Why not use Zoom/Skype or just record locally and sync the tracks!
  • Crazydude0
    One of my favorite pods
    Congrats on 300! I’ve been listening since early-pandemic, and so glad I did. Entertaining and informative every week, thanks so much and keep up the great work, Stacey and Kevin!
  • Maria Chirstina
    Great Podcast
    Great up to date information on the latest products with awesome guests.
  • 8095🐬🐳
    Breath of fresh air;.
    Enjoying hearing & feeling technology increase life of hardware.
  • mikepeng12
    good
    Thank you. I appreciate. There is phone number. : DD
  • Joey J
    needs a lot of work
    I love Stacy’s expertise and professionalism but this podcast drives me insane. Every time it starts, she’s “super-excited” for no particular reason. Her sidekick Kevin is grossly under-informed and comes across as a clueless nerd. It took both of them 2 years to figure out the real name of the Amazon Echo, referring to it instead as “Madame A” so they wouldn’t have to say “Alexa” (which would set off listener devices). Dumb. They’re supposed to know this stuff. Then a good half hour is wasted every episode as Stacy lets corporate PR people drone on and on over the phone giving them free, uncriticized publicity. Yawn. But even worse, the audio makes me literally nauseous since they seem to be running some kind of software algorithm that removes all the silence and pauses, making everyone sound like they’re overdosing on Adderall.
  • Ant Pruitt
    IOT isn't my thing, but this is some informative stuff
    I don't care much about IOT stuff, but I enjoy how Miss Stacy and Mr Kevin present the information with "real world" application. Not just "look at this cool thing to put in your house that you can talk to." Nicely done, team. Also, I love the intro/outro music. ((fist bump))
  • obtrunco
    Podcaster obcessed with Madam A
    It's good an informative but tiring as a third or more of the show is spent talking about Madam A. Please move on.
  • Et c'est parti.
    We Try IoT Gadgets So You Don’t Have To
    That is essentially the show but I appreciate the incredibly deep knowledge the hosts have of the consumer IoT space, and to a lesser degree, the industrial side.
  • Crzyhispanic
    22 min in and they are still with ads
    Listening for the first time excited to listen to the interview and they keep rambling with other stuff and a bunch of ads.
  • GP1Nick
    Wyze interview
    Great interview. Appreciated everything she said. I wish we had more companies like Wyze. Definitely going to buy the outdoor version when it’s released.
  • thedannymullen
    Sponsor misspoke again...
    I went to the netgear Insight site, not seeing how all the things he speaks of makes sense? Interesting sounding product but how it is different from any other router?
  • Bob.,.,.76
    Awesome
    I love all the information and insight this podcast brings to keep me up to date on all IoT news.
  • Levy Up
    Outcast....(-_-)....
    I do appreciate some of the information being shared but Will.i.am is not a member of OutKast...he is apart of The Black Eye Peas. I am sure it doesn't matter to you but you did decide to share the information the least you could do is do a quick Google search especially if you're not sure. Maybe all Blk musicians look and sound the same to you but unfortunately for you there are some who are in there own lane and Will is one of those people. Just saying...
  • andicandy
    Great podcast to learn about IOT
    I listen to Stacey's IOT podcast frequently and it helps me to stay on top of the newest developments and tech standards in hardware design plus security and privacy. Stacey is very smart and keeps all of her content relevant to today's market. Keep up the good work.
  • cd6445
    My go to for IOT info...
    Love this podcast! Interesting, informative, and entertaining.
  • Asdf1357asdf
    Great podcast
    Been listening to this for a while now and I really enjoy it. The conversations are natural, the hosts are enthusiastic about the topic and it's easy to listen to. Even the ads (which are generally disguised as interviews) I don't mind. Well done.
  • Biz research
    Great show for Iot
    Stacey and Kevin do a great job. My favorite part are the reviews of smart home stuff, but the big company stuff is interesting too. Keep up the awesome work!
  • PhoneGod1983
    Love the podcast
    Great talk about home connected products and much more
  • zxspectrum
    Just Awful!
    I find Stacey Higginbotham opinions appalling. She comes across as a racist/// (shocking)
  • Wsarver
    Updated review
    Eprisode 73 was done very well, I appreciate your insights to the smart home and how easy it is to install everything. You made it sound like anyone can do it, thank you! The devices are becoming more and more available and easier to install. Also, it's great that I am not the only guy in Southern Pa that tries this stuff! Great job! Thank you! Wade
  • Jason DeFillippo
    Unlistenable
    The content is ok but the audio quality is unbearable and the hosts have zero regard for talking into the actual microphone. I wanted to like this show but can't get past the unbelievably bad job they do with the actual medium they're publishing on. Stick to text or learn how to make a podcast. Please.
  • IOTreview
    I love this show.
    This is such a great show. I love the hosts, witty and down to earth. The current news about the latest IOT stuff is great to have weekly as well as a deep insight into a particular facet of the industry with the featured guest.
  • Reluctant_apper
    Wish it was better and shorter
    This podcast would be vastly improved by being cut in half. I really want to hear about the things that they’re talking about, but I lose interest as the conversations are rambling and long. A good, tight edit would really help get to the point. It really feels like it needs to be 20 minutes instead of 40.
  • SteveGreenberg
    Highly recommend
    Enthusiastic and current information and insights on the Internet of things. Perfect blend of technical info and analysis, I.e. for nerds , consumers and business people trying to just understand this stuff
  • Skylar D. Bruton
    They tried to block me
    They weren't and can not block me accessing all engine searches in my internet. With voice and actions. Action shows the Real. Talk is cheap and not worth anything. Actions make a person reliable. Talk is just talk nothing is reliable or expected from talk but lies and wishful thinking. With out Action talk is worthless
  • Jason D Texas
    Great podcast with unexpected insights
    I listen to many podcasts. This one stands out for the quality of questions and insightful takeaways that I can apply. I especially like how they combine business and home so each episode is relevant for my work or personal life. Very cool.
  • Andrew1234567
    Great insight on internet of things
