Tech Won't Save Us - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Constantly impressed by the depth and thoroughness of the coverage on this podcast. In a world where most tech journalism is little more than free PR and boosterism for the industry, TWSU is one of the only reliable sources for critical analysis of this incredibly broken industry. It’s gratifying to hear Paris and their guests have honest opinions about how we unravel the various crises that tech has created.

I am constantly inspired, informed, and astonished by what I learn from the host and guests on Tech Won’t Save Us. Beyond the quality of the content, it’s also the best source I’ve found for sheer rational thought instead of the hype that passes for a lot of tech journalism these days. Tech won’t save us, but this podcast just might.

I’m not a typical tech person, and only discovered this pod through The Nation. What have I missed! Most of the commentaries on tech dominating the media are vacuously generic compared to the astute observations and analyses on this show, all done without hyperbole or cynicism. I especially appreciate that it’s not all about digital technology, and the Dune dialogue was so much fun :)

Bravo for well-argued ideas that rebut the tech industry’s smug, fatuous, and sometimes dangerous torrent of self-promotion. Silicon Valley and its fanboys have been spewing nonsense for decades — anyone remember John Perry Barlow’s “Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace”? That’s why every generation needs people like Paris Marx and guests to expose tech fetishists for the self-serving frauds they are.
