We hold tech giants to account for their huge power to affect our lives, and ask who wins, and who loses, in the technology transformation. Tech Life is your guide to a future being made, and remade, at lightning speed in front of our eyes.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Don’t mind ads but don’t understand why the volume increase when ads play , instead of just listening to the ads I skip them because of the annoyance. I enjoy the podcast but whoever manages the ad insertion need to fix the volume issue

Since years I’ve been listening to the Tech Tent podcast from the BBC. I have just unsubscribed from this podcast after the last episode, because for me it was the last drop seeing the decline of the quality of the podcast. The lack of quality in the information provided is unbelievable and the guests on the show together with the moderator are just having a very superficial chit chat about important topics in the tech industry. The level of this chat and information provided would not hold scrutiny in journalism of the standards BBC usually sets in politics and economy. The last episode with a discussion about passwords provided no proper information about how to be safe online - suggesting that even the moderators are not using safe password is extraordinarily careless. The moderator asks if there are better solutions to password managers, but instead of listing a number of alternatives such as FIDO2 or others, the moderators conclude that there are none and let’s just continue happily as before. This is gross negligence for me. Good bye Tech Tent!
