The best source for tech news
A great summary of the day’s tech news, giving context where needed, and adding just the right amount of personal opinion and insight.
I have a subscription, which is well worth it to know I’m supporting the podcast, even though I’m not interested in the bonus episodes.

Tech News That Is No Longer Torpedoed by Insufferable, Endless CryptoBro Scam Discussion
Update: The endless talk of the next big crypto scheme has finally slowed down. And everything I said about crypto being a scam down below ended up being true, which he realizes by now, and which is why he finally had to stop talking about it. Since his hand was forced in the matter, the show covers normal tech topics now. I can now fully recommend this pretty smartly done podcast for actually staying up to date on tech news, and have adjusted the rating accordingly. Just don’t go back to your old crypto scheme schilling ways- Deal?
Does a decent job of covering tech topics in detail, however his self interest in crypto causes him to shoehorn nonstop crypto talk into every show even though the rest of the world has already figured out it is all a scam and has moved on. Suggestion- Hire an outside editor to remove your inane segments attempting to legitimize the next new dumb NFT/Web 3 scam in each episode before publishing. They could hand back the episode with your crypto rambling still intact, making you feel you’ve done your part to keep drawing in more rubes to lose their money, while the rest of the world is safe from your own misguided crypto cult self interests. Kind of like a self imposed Podcast shadowban.

My go-to for daily dose of tech
So I’ve been listening to a lot of tech podcasts for years , but the one I just listen to on a daily basis which provides a quick summary of the day’s big tech news, it has to be the Tech Meme Ride Home podcast, you’ll get hooked once you listen to a few episodes.

Quickly catch up on tech industry news
True to the title - I am an engineer and this is an amazing way to quickly catch up on what happened in technology that fits with my busy life. I don’t have time to scroll all day but the podcast catches me up while I cook dinner or ride home. Thanks Brian!

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!

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.

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 🤔

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!🙏

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.
