Essential daily podcast
Love the format, pace, and topics chosen. Brian does a great job. Best new podcast.

Great way to end the day...
My new go-to podcast for the drive home (although my commute is longer than the podcast). Great source of tech and tech business news. Don’t miss it.

macOS Ken in the morning, Techmeme in the afternoon
If NPR had a daily tech podcast, this would be it. Duration (not too long, not too short) and depth (not superficial) are spot on.

I love being informed
This podcast keeps me informed and entertained at the same time. I usually listen using the Otto App and look forward to each episode each weekday.

Daily and short and sweet
A quick way to get the pulse of the tech world on any day. Not too short and not too long. Accessible to people who might not be techies. Also a fan of Brian's Internet History Podcast.

Fantastic, well researched content. Presenter could do better
I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while and I love the quality of information. It’s very well researched, informative and diverse. They also do a good job in analyzing news stories from different angels. My only problem is the charisma of the presenter. Brian is a nice calm guy but I think the show would be much more enjoyable with a professional presenter. BBC podcasts are the gold standard here.

Succinct and Useful!
It's just the tech news, told straight, no jokes or fluff that I really don't want to hear. Useful, relevant information that keeps me up to date.

Great daily news wrap
Think up first but for tech. Gets you all the headlines.

Best tech news show
In fact, the *only* tech news show you need.

Love this podcast!
This show is fantastic. I think even non-tech people will enjoy it. They surface interesting stories you might otherwise miss. One thing tho, if they're reading these reviews: Please try to include links to articles you mention in the show notes. When you've done that in past it's been very helpful to me (not having to relisten to the episode to find what was mentioned then google for it, etc.).

Perfect recap
This is perfect, not too long but hits all the “need to know” topics (just like this review).

Great daily overview of tech news
In less than 15 mins you get he highlights of the day. And where there is a large story, they go a little deeper and provide more information. Fantastic!

quick, accurate, pertinent
Shocker - Tech covered by an actual Journalist. Big Ups.

Amazing news
Great information perfect for the ride home or work keeping it short and sweet

Simple and precise!
I have been reading Techmeme site but this podcast just made Techmeme closer and so much easier to access. Thank you and keep it up!

Great
Nice, clear, and brief summary of tech news. Just what I was looking for.

Techmeme
The content is great but Brian sounds like he has no interest in recording the podcast today. Even the outro music has no motivation to end on an upbeat positive note. You need to add a little salsa to your podcast guys. - 03/13/18

More than just headlines
I appreciate how Brian adds context from his own vast knowledge of tech history, plus pithy quotes from other media and social sources. A quick dose of extra perspective!

No hype
Relevant, unbiased summarization of all the day’s tech news. Good quotes chosen summarize various viewpoints.

The tech daily podcast I have been waiting for
Perfect “ride home” podcast. Good balance of facts and opinion (often from pithy tweets). Keep up the good work!

I’m a convert
I’ve been ignoring the whole podcast scene until now. Just preferred to listen to my playlists in the commute. But when I saw on Ben’s newsletter that techmeme had announced a podcast, I decided to give the iOS podcast app a try. The summary of the day’s news is useful and pleasant listening. Although I find the extensive quotes from twitter on current issues boring and annoying.

Love it.
Great way to catch up on the tech news for the day.

Woo!
woo!

Awesome
Best thing that I didn’t know I needed all week. Keep it up.

I’m not in Tech and love it
This is a great NPR-style give it to you straight with a side of snark tech news show. Great work!
