About the show

We Review Stuff is a tech review podcast with a twist. Three experts pitch the tech they’ve been fan-girling over lately, in a bid to get it on the definitive list of the Best Stuff. Two reviews will be techy, but the last one is a bit of a wildcard. Not everything can make the cut, so it is up to the rest of the crew to decide; do we List It or Leave It?
