While there are tons of voices in the tech space now, I keep coming back to DTNS. They are willing to cover a wide variety of topics, with a number of interesting guests that bring perspectives that are a step ahead of a lot of social media and tech reporting. Highly recommend, and it's the first I recommend to friends!

I’ve been listening to the Daily Tech News Show for the past ten years, and it has become an indispensable part of my daily morning commute. As someone who likes to stay current on tech news, I can confidently say this is the best and most consistent podcast available. The show’s format, featuring daily guest hosts like Scott Johnson, Justin Robert Young, and others, keeps the content fresh and engaging. The in-depth analysis and timely updates on the latest tech developments are second to none. The host’s expertise and the variety of perspectives make every episode informative and entertaining. This podcast truly sets the standard for tech news coverage, earning a well-deserved five stars from me.

Smaegley · Jun 2024

I listen to this show every morning, and it just seems to have gone from an ad or two at the beginning and end to being relentless. In the beginning of episode 4866 I clocked almost 4 minutes. When I am jumping into my car and tuning in to listen, the last thing I wanna have to do is try to skip through ads to get to the content while I am driving. Statistic for those interested: ~27% of the of episode 4866 was ads.

Spladlesrus · Oct 2024

Having your female host opine at length about how “Kmart-alternative” Walmart is changing so much after she admits to never having been inside one ever got real cringe real fast. Tone felt out of touch and elitist. Either do your research or don’t filibuster about stuff you don’t know about.
