The 404 Media Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is restoring my hope in tech media. From the at-times absurd stories (about them scraping their own writing to create an AI-generated content site to show how that process works) to the breaking news (the Runway document link) this podcast and the team behind 404 Media is insightful, fun, and deeply trustworthy. The fact this company is journalist-owned is the cherry on top. Highly recommend.

This podcast is so refreshing. Strip away all the excessive production that many of the others seem to rely on, almost as a crutch, music and all, and you get this podcast. Talk to the person who wrote the story and get the information. It's succinct and covers stories that don't seem to be reported elsewhere, at least not as thoroughly. Really enjoy this podcast. Always gives me things to think about and share with others. Thank you. keep up the excellent work.

404 Media must surely be the most efficient value in tech media that exists today. The output and consequential change that these four journalists are able to produce week after week is astounding. And the reporting and podcasts are just as efficient. You get the necessary context, the facts and implications plus any outcomes from their work with little to no fluff or filler, while they still maintain a sense of humor and personality that makes it feel very accessible and human.

This is what quality journalism looks like.

404 Media’s journalism has immediately had an outsized impact for their size. Fantastic stories about the tech world covered in a way no one else is, and are genuinely making a difference
