in response to your response: I personally don't understand why people make a big deal out of it either way/don't really care about the comments and I agree with what you're saying. We're trying to bring some spice back into tech interviews--something that, at times, can be presented in a boring way.

We think tech is a hot topic and we don't have any issues with making our show playful, interesting and casual.

If you want to watch serious Q&A type stuff, go for it- you're not our demographic. There's plenty of awesome content like that across the internet.

Bring the spice back into tech interviews?

I guess I never knew it was there in the past, and had gone away. However, not to be too rude, but I will take my spice from spicier sources and stick to TED for my nerd fixes.

I guess I am saying that it's time to retool, ladies. I AM the closest thing to your demographic, and I don't really get it. Your comment about not caring about the comments rings a bit hollow if you are simultaneously slinking over here to purr about your show.

Anyway, best of luck, but I would advise getting really serious about your tech interviews and leave the casual stuff for after dark.

The "I dont care about comments" came from the original comment posted in this thread that was deleted.

I was clarifying that I understand that we're going to get obnoxious comments on us being girls and I'm okay with it, it comes with the territory.

Feedback on the show is welcome in general. That is why I'm posting. : )

Thanks for the feedback. And yes, TED is amazing!

Exactly.
