The perfect end to the day in tech.

Okay, nobody seems to want to be review #199, so I’ll take one for the team.

I have only a handful of must-listen podcasts, and when the TechMeme Ride Home comes out, I interrupt anything else I’m listening to. Brian is the voice I want reading me the day’s tech news: industry veteran, true enthusiast but never overexcited, with a reserved, dry wit — often distilled to a surgically-targeted witheringg inflection at the very end of a quoted press release — that cuts concisely through the corporate hype. And he maintains a running context from episode to episode as stories unfold over time, weaving an ongoing narrative from the inter-tangled threads of the tech world.

The Ride Home will save you hours of sifting through the haystack of the day’s tech stories, and give you hours’ worth of weekend reading suggestions if you feel like catching up with the week’s best long-form tech journalism.

I never miss an episode. Once you give it a listen, I don’t think you’ll want to either.
