Headlines with personality, without banter
This fills a perfect niche for me: a "what's going on in tech" that puts the headlines in some editorial context, without the wacky morning show vibe of hosts spending time on chit-chat with each other. (Nothing wrong with that, but not what I'm looking for as I try to stay up-to-speed on whatever the day's news was.) 15+ years ago I could listen to Slashdot Review every morning on the drive in; now I listen to Techmeme Ride Home every afternoon on the drive back and it meets the same need.
Fantastic daily catch-up
I’ve listened religious for years. I wouldn’t know what to do if this podcast went away.
Great show!
I listen every day as it’s an excellent way to get tech news. I have even been turned onto some good products through the ads. The production quality and attention to detail is evident. His pacing is quick, the sound is clear. I can understand Brian in the shower with my little bluetooth speaker and in my car I don’t have to crank the volume up like I do with a lot of big non-self produced podcasts. Thanks Brian!
Essential daily update
I listen to many of the “best” podcasts, and this is the one I make sure to never miss.
The only way to stay in the know.
Brian gives the best fact based recap of the news of the day.
Awesome!
Brian does a phenomenal job with his research and sharing important insights for today’s tech news. I always look forward to each episode. Highly recommend!
Love it!
Absolutely love it. Best because Brian is not a jerk and communicate soo well!
Great Way to Catch up on Tech News
I listen to this almost every day. Brian is very good at providing timely, understandable and thoughtful analysis, but not commentary, on the tech news of the day. The past experience in the tech area, and of tech history, help ground the news of the day in valuable context.
One of the best podcast
Best podcast to get updates in technology world every evening. Long time listener. Always precise and crisp.
One of my favorite daily listens.
The best source I have found for timely, thoughtful tech news.
Great Show! Listen every day!
Really well done show with lots of relevant tech news. Even the ads are interesting and I don’t mind listening to them!
Feedback on interviewsof Jason and Chamath
I find the daily podcast very useful, and listen everyday without fail. The audio quality is always excellent. Which is why I was very surprised at the poor audio quality (very low volume and barely audible) if these two episodes of interviews of Jason and Chamath! Also, I was expecting the interview with Chamath to touch upon many more important issues including valid concerns on his SPAC deals and exits, SPACs vs IPOs—-he had championed the SPAC as a better vehicle for wealth distribution to retail investors, but it mostly vanished in smoke as he cashed out good 🤔
Best tech news podcast
Brian is awesome. Does a great job of summarizing daily tech news.
The Only Daily I Can Keep Up With
It’s news I care about in an amount of time I can spend every day. Brian has a great nose for tech news.
Great Podcast. One petty request..
I know you can’t possibly know all the pronunciations of everything but 1 thing stands out a lot - Xiao Mi. Or any Chinese that starts with “X”. Please don’t say it like “Jiao” Mi. Just say it like how it’s spelled. The podcast today is full of Xiao Mi news today and I can’t stand it anymore sorry.
Curated Tech News Done Right!
The amount of time this podcast saves is hard for me to calculate. I love tech news but have grown tired of all the fluff. Brian does a great job of staying on top of what is important but still dipping into trends and popular culture when it’s noteworthy. Kudos!🙏
How we “keep up”
Thanks to Brian’s research, I know what is going on in the technology world.
Top tech news distracted by crypto
I’m a longtime subscriber. Brian puts together a top-notch daily recap to let you know what’s happening right now in tech — when he’s not distracted by the latest crypto/NFT financial whatnot. reddit.com/r/literaciafinanceira/comments/upgwq5/
My favorite tech podcast
I work in the tech industry and it’s my job to stay up with the tech industry, so Brian is doing his part in making me look good at me job.
A Great Tech Round-Up
Brian does a fantastic job of keeping me up-to-date with the essential tech news. Don’t know how I’d be keeping up with it all without this show!
Short and Sweet :-)
Well written and informative, I could not imagine staying in the know without it.
Thanks Brian!
This host does a great job at bringing the show’s audience all the latest tech news. Quality production, keep it up!
Pronouncing Chinese names correctly, please!!!
I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts daily, for many years. Enjoy it all, except when you mentioned any Chinese tech companies or executives’ name, that is. It’s excruciatingly incorrect and appalling whenever you confront ‘X’ or ‘Y’. Xiaomi, Xi Jinping, Eric Yuan, Jerry Yang, and numerous examples. Please please please, if you can’t quiet master mandarine, how about just saying it in the most simplified (but close) way by pronouncing ‘x’ as ‘s’ in ‘sea’ and ‘y’ as in ‘yellow’? Thank you for all your other relentless, complete research for a daily comprehensive, enjoyable coverage!
