I wish
I wish I had known about this earlier!! Such a great podcast, loaded with information, knowledge, and recapping of the days tech news. If you're not one to scoure the web for articles and want it all nicely packaged like I do; this podcast is perfect!

A Great Resource for staying up to date with tech
I started to listen to Techmeme Ride Home several months ago and it quickly became one of my not-to-be-missed podcasts. With a mix of humor, intelligence and research, Brian provides a very thorough daily update on what has been happening in the world of tech, and provides it in a very efficient and compact package. Highly recommended. Check it out, you won’t be sorry.

News AND analysis
This is the best daily tech news I’ve found. Not only do you get all the news if the day, the host is knowledgeable and provides keen analysis and perspective on the latest goings-on. Just listen. It’s great.

Great round up eveyday!!
Being a college student and soon to be working everyday it is hard sometimes to find out what happened today in the world of tech and whats important. This is the best podcast I have found to get that summary for each day. I love how he summarizes everything and makes sure not to miss the big points. In addition I love the length. It is perfect not too long not to short just quick and brief with links of anything I want to follow up on! What a great news source! Subscribe now!

Always something interesting
Brian always has something interesting to report, and often throws in a little snarky commentary to go with it. For someone who’s been in corporate IT for a long time it’s fun to hear how someone who’s been a tech entrepreneur views the industry. The podcast gives me a much broader view of the technology world that I get sitting behind my desk talking to Dell and Cisco rep’s.

Just pure tech reporting and to the point
This is the perfect summary for tech lovers. It to long and not too short and brings you the highlights of the day or important news in tech that is relevant for anyone to know, not just tech lover and enthusiasts. A must listen!!

It’s the knowledge of Tech history that makes the difference
Brian’s curation of what is and what is not important makes his daily roundup the most efficient way to keep up its technology. His great knowledge and long history of involvement in the tech world and his honest no BS delivery is valuable in distinguishing between so many tech podcasts competing for attention.

Beat tech podcast out there!
After reading Brian’s book “How the Internet Happened,” I stumbled across his podcast. Long story short, I am now an avid listener! This is the best short form summary of today in tech - bar none. In addition, the embedded links, especially the long reads each Friday, are invaluable. Keep up the great work, Brian!

Solid Daily Listen!
I discovered Techmeme Ride Home several months ago, and it has decisively established itself as one of the very few podcasts that I listen to every day without fail. Brian seamlessly integrates the day's most relevant tech news along with the material business context & implications to bring it all together. The result is a solid one-stop shop for anyone looking to quickly and effortlessly maintain the informed perspective needed to successfully navigate and intelligently converse about what matters most in the world of business and technology today!

Excellent summary and analysis for those in tech
Brian’s TMRH is a can’t-miss podcast for me. I enjoy the personal tone and analysis that he brings to the tech highlights every day. Also, over time, you start to pick up on larger bets and themes that he comments on across weeks and months and new developments in certain spaces. So, it’s not just the daily update but a deep and thoughtful education over time. Lastly, I emailed him some gentle inclusivity feedback on a few language habits and he not only made changes but wrote me back in a sincerely grateful way. Good guy and great pod.

Perfectamudo
The breadth, tone, topics & length is perfect for me. Five thumbs up!

I look forward to my daily dose of tech
I have been meaning to write a review for this pod for a while now (and not because I wanted to be #300.) I first stumbled across Brian while listening to the TWIT network, and decided to give his podcast a try. I’m not actually in the industry, just a tech fan. I find Brian’s reporting very informative with just enough wit and personal anecdotes to make me look forward to listening everyday. My only complaint with the podcast is that its not an hour long, so it would last as long as my actual ride home.

Killin it! Perfect length recap of the days tech news.
Perfect way to end the day and hear about the tech industry. I look forward to this podcast every day!

Excellent!
Thank you for the excellent and and concise way that you present tech news.

A great podcast for a laugh or twelve from Clue and Karole
Great NO Tech -( about tech related headlines from around the world). I laugh so much because Karole and Clue make fun banter throughout the podcast. Plus I love their British accents !

Great daily listen
Has quickly become a daily listen for me, I tee it up first thing in the morning from Europe. Good insights adding context to the days tech news. Well done.

Quick, Impactful Information!
This Podcast gives a very quick and concise update on important technology issues and players. Not complicated financial data, but more a layman's way to know what is now and what is on the horizon in technology. Love the tone of non-favoring of any particular technologies or platforms.

Excelent wrap up of daily tech news
Brian curates tech-related news from relevant sources and pulls them through unbiased standpoint to create perfectly sized bites of daily goodness. His long reads suggestions always delight!

Deadpan Greatness
Love Brian’s deadpan and at times slightly sarcastic tone during the pod. Also GREAT unbiased info from the world of tech!

Great tech news recap
This is the only podcast you need to listen to to be in the know in the world of tech news.

Great pod 09/11
Especially enjoyed your aggregation and analysis of the Mark Zuckerberg piece; your comments around the references to the Roman Empire made me smile and the sentence that started with “at least read the book entitled...” made me actually laugh out laud. Thanks for bringing your and others’ critical analysis to an easy to consume channel. @brianmcc

Love It!
This is my very most favorite podcast. Thanks for being awesome!

Great podcast!
A great evening wrap up of tech news for the day. I keep up with the TechMeme website during the day, but I still make sure I listen to this podcast at the end of the day on my walk home from work. Just the right length and amount news depth.

Great Podcast
Love the podcast which makes my hour commute easier every day. The commentary could be lighter, especially in a podcast that is trying to fast forward through the day’s events as quickly as possible, but overall the content is what I’m looking for. Keep it up!

Must listen
Love the show and have made it part of my daily routine. It is such a fantastic way of catching up with tech news in a short period of time.

Awesome
Great updates splashed with some witty deadpan humor.

Great source for daily tech news!
Brian does a wonderful job!

Never missed an episode
Good alternative to stay up-to-date on tech news when I am not able to keep up with all the stories on Techmeme.

Top Quality Semi-Objective Tech Reporting
Brian is a great host and deliverer of tech industry news in a 90%+ objective format. When he does give an opinion, it’s clearly denoted and often insightful. I recommend Techmeme to all of my software engineering peers. Would give 6 stars, but he refuses to enunciate “gif” in a way that doesn’t cause involuntary muscle reactions amongst those that can remember compuserve ;)
