What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

tallsally · May 2024

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.

Smash Ogre · Nov 2023

I like the way they review things in just enough depth. It’s a good way for me as a non specialist to learn about new products and major moves in tech.

Albanycat · Jul 2023

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!

Tap!wa · May 2023

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

techgirly · Jan 2024

I’ve been listening to the WSJ’s news podcasts for a decade now and lately I have noticed a discernible change in their focus. There is a ‘subject bias’ or a highly narrow ‘cultural focus’ such that, while they still report the facts & news, there is an unavoidable hyperfocus on right & far-right-leaning topics/subjects that, in whole, are not reflective of the tech or business worlds. I've already unsubscribed from ‘What’s News’ and ‘Tech News Briefing’ may be next. **sigh**
