WSJ Tech News Briefing - Podcast Rankings and reviews

WSJ Tech News Briefing is a must-listen podcast for tech enthusiasts of all backgrounds. Host Zoe Thomas covers the latest news, scoops, tips and interviews with tech experts in short and engaging episodes. This podcast is informative, authoritative and entertaining. Five stars!

Tech News Briefing covers the tech business and how tech affects and will affect our lives. I subscribe to quite a few news podcasts. I don’t always listen to all of them because it can get repetitive; TNB is a must listen because it has info and perspective that none of the others have.

Frequently the pacing of guest reporters’ speech is bizarrely slow with toots of awkward pauses. Main host keeps analysis surface level. Would be great to hear something that sounds more like an actual conversation with thoughtful reporting than the current “robots reading cue cards” style - WSJ can do better.

As a several years long listener, I have come to look forward to Zoe Thomas’s chipper delivery and have realized a host needs some time off occasionally. This podcast used to recognize when Ms Thomas was away with a statement like, “I’m Julie Chang in for Zoe Thomas” but recently Zoe is away and a fruit salad of hosts are presenting but there has been no mention of when Ms Thomas might return. She is missed.

I listen on Spotify but came here just to leave this review. As someone who works in tech PR I love the podcast, and the new format to get news 2x/day. BUT the current salesforce ads are driving me crazy….they are so annoying. If I am near my phone and can skip them, great, but hearing the actor’s voice asking questions 2-3x/episode each morning is like nails on a chalkboard. No shade on Salesforce but this ad is simply not it
