[@Techsploder]

Hey everybody!! What topics, products, companies, and people would you like to see me cover on Techsploder? The collaboration begins NOW! Let me know!

[@pizzaluvah]

Tech antitrust/monopoly lawsuits in the US and beyond, with a focus on how the products and average end-users are potentially affected by the outcomes.

[@Techsploder]

@@pizzaluvah Great topic!

[@TayQuartermain]

Your office hours with Ant was great fun, hope we'll be seeing him again soon.

[@Techsploder]

​@@TayQuartermainabsolutely I will have Ant back. His and Chet Haase' Office Hours were basically blueprints for the Techsploder Podcast!

[@TomZach]

Wow wow! That super intro was out of this world. So much love for you Jason, both from colleagues and your fans. Been following you for decades now, and will continue to support and enjoy your great content. Excited for you!!!

[@Techsploder]

I'm giddy and grateful for the support. Thank you!

[@MichaelKizer]

I liked the "tech" super cut. So cool that you could get so many contributions.

[@Techsploder]

I'm blessed, man. Truly.

[@IkhwanRidzwan]

Glad to catch this. So happy to come on board this journey with you Jason. Let’s freaking go!

[@Techsploder]

We goin!

[@todoleo]

Yay! 🎉 I'm looking forward to seeing you grow even further! We are here, subscribed and ready to watch more!

[@Techsploder]

Matteo, you are the man!

[@MhzUHF]

Hi from the UK - Jason been watching you for several years all the way back to the cottage then brick house actually more listening as you were my podcast on the drive to and from work, looking forward to more Tec on your new channel.

[@Techsploder]

So good to have you here all these years later!

[@catielakeradio]

Oh my. This is what I needed! I was already subscribed so I guess this is a previous channel rebranded? I really wanted to do something on disability tech for the 'other' network. I did a trial podcast which worked well but I don't have the funds to get it out there so I parked it for now. You'll prolly remember that I live with MS and and am Technical Director of my own WFH web services and media production company here in the UK. I'd love to have a chat with you sometime.

[@Techsploder]

I'd love to feature some topics that focus on accessibility in tech for sure, I think it's super important! Thank you for sharing this! Keep the ideas coming, I'm open!

[@Alex.kantrowitz]

Nice job, Jason!

[@Techsploder]

Thanks, Alex. I appreciate you being involved!

[@kurtph1969]

Wow Jason, this is amazing news! Subscribed and shared. Looking forward to future episodes!

[@Techsploder]

Yay welcome to the channel!

[@WagnerGimenes]

I'm here for the journey. Great to see this here, Jason.

[@Techsploder]

Good to have you here with me!

[@johnkuehne6454]

Really stoked for this Jason, can't wait to see where it goes.

[@Techsploder]

Thanks Brother!!

[@BryanJager]

Awesome intro video! I am hooked! I love your point of view on tech. I cannot wait to see what you have in store! 😊

[@Techsploder]

Thank you Bryan !

[@Gav_Jam]

yes please, here for more!

[@Techsploder]

Thanks for being here!

[@NobleHalfling]

I'm excited about what's going on with the metaverse and AI. Can't wait to see what you do 😁

[@Techsploder]

Me too! I plan on picking up the Apple Vision Pro at some point and checking it out, I'm super curious!

[@drstrangefreak]

Have been watching and will be watching. You are someone I've always trusted.

[@Techsploder]

That means a lot to me, thank you for sharing!

[@philVelo]

Hi Jason! I've been a fan since the BOL days. I'm looking forward to the new project. 🙌

[@Techsploder]

I just love that BOL is such a constant after all these years!

[@chrishuston4445]

Ummmm… your microphone is ON FIYAH 🤘👊… Really looking forward to this new Series!

[@TheBigburcie]

I would like to see home recording tech reviewed and discussed. Setting up a 'silent' recording studio for your aspiring teenage rock star or how to capture live sound in a small venue that doesn't sound like an underwater kazoo. I know the audience is a bit more limited, but so much tech in this space has become economically viable for even a hobbyist so there's people who could use it that might not realize how easy it is now.

[@Techsploder]

I LOVE how democratized things have gotten in the audio and music production space. Being a musician, I'm always keen to touch on this stuff. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheBigburcie]

@@Techsploder We've definitely seen what can be done in a home studio setting thanks to Billie Eilish and Jacob Collier.

[@jasonzions7308]

Very exciting to see another "voice I trust" going out on their own - congrats! I would love to hear about "run at home" AI - models and tools small enough to run at home on an affordable PC (i.e. no unobtainable NVidia gear that costs more than the car in the driveway). What's around that can sort my photos without me uploading them to Google and letting them learn more about my life than I'm comfortable with?

[@Techsploder]

Great topics!

[@Lu.G.]

Epic intro! 👏🏻 So excited for you!

[@Techsploder]

Thank you, me too!

[@SpawnWaveMedia]

Awesome name Jason. I didn't realize you had Bieber hair back in the day before Justin Bieber 😂 Keep it up brother, you're going to be on the top of the tech mountain before too long......just keeping climbing 💛

[@Techsploder]

I didn't realize that either until you just wrote that! Does that make me a Belieber?

[@walkingsaltine]

I'm most interested in IOT. If you can throw some of that it occasionally I'd be thrilled. I'll continue to follow you no matter what though Jason. I'm enjoying the channel name change as well.

[@Techsploder]

Rad suggestions! I love it, thanks for sticking with me!

[@iamclarence]

Can’t wait to see more! Loving the new vision.

[@Techsploder]

Thank you!!

[@acarde]

Do it dude! Looking forward to it.

[@Techsploder]

Yessssss!

[@deanusmanus]

Awesome! Awesome! I'm subscribing!

[@Techsploder]

Good to have you here!!!

[@TayQuartermain]

I hope this name change means we will only get exploding cross fades with accompanying sound effects, live the dream.

[@Techsploder]

Lean IN!

[@MarquesStewart]

Wow Jason, great intro and wish you all the best in getting your channel off the ground.

[@Techsploder]

With your support, I shall!

[@s3thme]

Love this so much!

[@Techsploder]

EXCELLENT!!!

[@SuperDshannon]

Congrats Jason!

[@Techsploder]

Gawww it's Deanne!! Miss you!

[@Master0fTheChief]

This is exciting!

[@Techsploder]

I agree!

[@kemistrypops]

Looking forward to the episodes

[@Techsploder]

Thank you so much!! I am too :)

[@archpenguin6646]

Old punk rockers FTW! Big fan Of AAA back in the day! Free and open source software and operating systems would be cool! And open hardware. How to liberate your phone from google would also be cool content. Wishing you the best in all your endeavors! Rock on! \m/

[@Techsploder]

Rad \m/ thanks for the awesome suggestions!

[@patrickmcafee9204]

Yes! Google for sure. Also maybe more of the niche laptops like Framework, etc... If I think of anything more I'll leave another comment.

[@Techsploder]

I'd LOVE to spend time with the Framework! And Google hehehe YEP that's gonna happen for sure!

[@thereallemac]

Congrats Jason. Been following you from day one and really happy for you. Is there a website where you have listed all your various (new) podcasts?

[@Techsploder]

THANK YOU!! I am working on a website to keep track of everything in one place right now. More like phase two! And once its done, yellowgoldstudios.com will point to it directly.

[@CezarCociorba]

The best of luck, you kind man.

[@Techsploder]

Thank you sir!

[@JeffMarraccini]

Exciting! Kudos, Jason! Given that Microsoft is (ugh!) pulling support for Android apps in Windows 11, would you please consider doing a current take on alternatives? I am not looking to develop apps but need to execute them sans device at times. My thanks!

[@Techsploder]

Excellent topic! Love it, thank you! Adding to my list :)

[@EddieTee77]

Love the videos so far. Been a fan since AAA early days. Now, I am one of the faithful! Just curious, what made you change your name from Yellowgold Studios to Techsploder? The techsploder name makes more sense with what you are talking about. It is probably better SEO as well, but I am curious what your reasons are.

[@Techsploder]

Hi Eddie!! So from the start, Yellowgold Studios has been my company name, the network as it were. Over the past few months, I've been playing around with all facets of creating for KZbin and learning lessons along the way. Yellowgold Studios is a name I love, it has deep meaning to me on a personal level, but really says nothing about the actual content itself. So YGS will continue to be the business under which my projects (Techsploder, AI Inside, etc) fall under. I hope that makes sense!

[@EddieTee77]

@@Techsploder that makes total sense. Now, you can have multiple channels under this Yellowgold umbrella. And, the name Techsploder makes it more obvious what this channel is all about. It really seems like you're making all the right calls. You can tell you've been in the industry for a long time!

[@kappy1990]

AWESOME

[@Techsploder]

Thanks 🤗

[@pizzaluvah]

Let's go Jason!!

[@Techsploder]

Consider me gone! ... wait, that doesn't sound right.

[@GeeksonTrial]

Cameras, food tech and cheap tech for real people.

[@webgenius937]

Looking forward to Sploder Soides Jason

[@Techsploder]

Slodersodes... I like that!

[@golfandfrog]

Hi Jason, I think you should focus on AI tools (software and hardware) and Cars (difficult, I know).

[@Techsploder]

Happy to touch on it all!

[@jsspadilla19]

How to incorporate AI into daily life. Also smart home ideas.

[@Techsploder]

Love the ideas, thank you for sharing!

[@AdamColeridge]

Tech

[@Techsploder]

Dang, where were you in the montage?

[@markhammond265]

Please go deep into the technology of robotic space exploration.

[@Techsploder]

Wow I would really have to rely on someone much smarter than me to pick that topic apart, but I'm game!!

[@NigelMclean]

Be nice if you covered latest in Electic Vehicles and AI

[@Techsploder]

Absolutely will!

[@BjarneQwinten]

I hate disturbing background muzak noise😢 ❤❤❤❤

[@Techsploder]

Hmmm maybe I'll open up the project and see if I can de-disturbify it a bit. Thanks for the feedback.

[@stigsfoot]

LFG!!! Congrats for shipping.

[@Techsploder]

YESSS thank you!

[@owlandriver]

Congrats Jason!

[@Techsploder]

Seriously, Cory. I'm so grateful to know you, thank you.
