    Fun and informative podcat for PC enthusiasts
    I love this podcast because you will always hear an informed discussion on the latest developments in the PC market whether it is about Intel, AMD, TSMC or Nvidia. They know a lot but maintain and easy-going atmosphere.

    Awesome podcast
    I LOVE that this podcast exists as well as every episode is 2 hours long I drive a lot for work and it’s really nice not having to queue up a bunch of podcasts

    Always looking forward to this show
    Every week I look forward to this show. I hope Gordon gets better, but the show is as good as it ever has been even while he is away.
  • Hummusbot
    Best PC tech podcast
    I don’t normally write reviews, but I truly look forward to this show every week. The group is informative, with deep and varied expertise, but the discussion is done informally like you’re sitting around with friends. They clearly like and respect each other and give the same consideration to others in the field, even when they disagree. Best wishes to Gordon for a quick return!

    Great for my commute
    This is a great group of tech nerds that have the right chemistry to keep my engaged during my commute. I enjoy hearing about everyone’s opinions and some of the inside information I wouldn’t normally learn about. Recommended. Each podcast is about 1 to 2 hours.

    Awesome podcast
    Love the full nerd. They have great guests, Patrick and Gordon are awesome hosts and it’s not super scripted which for me is great.
  • Starscreamious
    My favorite podcast on itunes
    The best part of the show is listening to them argueing....especially during the annual Hall of Fame, and predictions episodes.
  • x321momo
    Great new source.
    Tech being always changing this podcast is a great way to stay on top of it.
  • CougarII
    Solid
    Been listening for years. Love the tech, and hosts are epic.
  • Gene Skinner
    My Go-To for All Things PC
    Started listening to this show last year as I was researching how to get back into PCs as a hobby after a long hiatus. The hosts are super knowledgeable and the shows strike a good balance of discussing news and high-level trends while getting in the weeds when new products are coming out.
  • .....LJ.....
    Great podcast
    I try to catch this one live when I can, but it's always worth the listen, regardless of how you get it. There's a great variety of topics and excellent guests, too!

    Great Podcast!
    I just recently started listening a few months ago and have really enjoyed it! Now I’m going back and listening to old episodes while I wait for the new ones. Thanks guys!
  • Vmat1980
    Awesome PC podcast!!!!
    Been listening for years now. Love the podcast! Keep up the good work guys, FYI Aliens is the better movie.
  • arcrendition
    Great
    Funny and informative. Probably the best hardware podcast around. I’m not sure why anyone would be a hater and give it anything less than 5 stars.
  • Kasekopf
    More Gordon please!
    This is a great podcast about current tech events. They typically focus on 3 or 4 big events from the week, but sometimes wonder into less "newsy" topics, and that is when they are at their best. Gordon is the star of the show and the man deserves the spotlight. Look forward to this each week.
  • Freemy64
    Great podcast!
    I just wanted to take a moment to note that the Full Nerd is both consistently educational and entertaining. As someone who is interested in computers but who had not been deeply engaged on the topic for sometime, their discussion has vastly increase my knowledge. Moreover (For Gordon and anyone from the publishing side), their evident knowledge on the subject has led me to use pcworld.com as my first stop for information on considering my own PC purchases and upgrades. Thanks so much!
  • Luccion
    Top tier tech treat
    I love the crew. Gordon is my grumpy spirit animal, and we have very similar opinions and it makes me laugh because as he is realizing his age saying certain things, I am too. Lol. Can’t live without this show.
  • zach2theWin
    Good to learn new things
    I was looking to buy my own pc and I listen to this podcast i learned so much and bought my own! A great podcast for learning
  • JZLAM
    Please Bring Back to Overcast App on iOs
    I love this podcast, but I prefer to listen to it on the more full featured Overcast iOS app. The recent episodes have not come to iOS, I’m not sure it this is an accident or on purpose. Please bring the FULL NERD back to Overcast! Thank you.

    Apple M1
    Wino66whaevwr. You complain about these guys being PC fanboys and how the M1 is so great. Let’s see your benches? I’ll wait. The M1 while cool in its own little bubble, is trash in the real x86 dominated world. Even Apple knew this. If anyone is Being a fanboy it’s you. No doubt the M1 is a step ahead for an arm platform, it’ll be years before its a head to head battle against x86.
  • Wino66878887
    More PC fanboy than actual tech talk
    I was disappointed to hear how down on the M1 chip you guys were when it is destroying laptop competition right now. It is likely Apple’s push to ARM will have ripple effects in the whole industry and you guys just shot that down. Makes you sound more like Windows fanboys than actual tech enthusiasts. You said M1 couldn’t win because you’re a PC podcast. Do you know PC means “personal computer” and is generally OS agnostic? If ARM wasn’t making a push right now, AWS wouldn’t be propping up new ARM clusters and windows wouldn’t be working on making windows for ARM more usable. A lot of apps running through Rosetta perform better on M1 than they do on an Intel chip! It’s really quite incredible. And this is coming from a data scientist with a 5900x/3090 in my workstation. Apple silicon is just plain impressive. Also, why would you buy a 5800x for a video editing workstation? 5900x is way better core/$ and only $100 more. Premier or Resolve will use those cores but 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • @dfsu36
    Best of the best hardware show!!
    Full nerd is an awesome show covering the full gamut. Gordon and Alaina are my personal faves and Brad is extremely knowledgeable about the entire industry. I look forward to the show every week. If you like pc hardware it’s a must listen! Thanks for the content full nerd team.
  • 5683deltium
    EXCELLENT !
    The quality of the content and the truly enjoyable hosts make this a great podcast. I like Brad's honesty and depth of knowledge, along with Gordon's experience in hardware. Alaina provides good balance and some healthy color on pricing. All in all, it's a great show and something that I look forward to each and every week. I am not an expert on technology, but this group makes it very fun and interesting to listen to. Well done !!
  • Sickernicker5246
    Amazing podcast!
    These guys cover all of the super technical stuff that I love. I don’t know anyone that geeks out like this about tech and pc parts so I have no one to chat with about it but this podcast covers it all!

    Love it
    Gordon and the crew are a pleasure to listen to. I’ve learned much from them and they inspired me to build my first pc. Always on top of current events. Looking forward to many more episodes.
  • asnyder1
    Entertaining and informative
    This is the only tech podcast I've ever listened to more than one episode of, so I can't say if it's way better than others, but I greatly enjoy it. So much so that I'm going back to listen to them all from episode 0.
  • HeartShot
    Gordon makes me laugh
    I love this podcast. I am glad I found Gordon Mah Ung again. I miss the rants and I loved when he would get sidetracked into a Star Trek or Star Wars debate in the old days. He still has his crazy review style and strong opinions about new gear. He has good people with him in this podcast. I have gone back and listed to every episode of The Full Nerd. I can't wait for a new episode.
