Top of my everyday listening
Hands down, this is the best daily Tech News Summary you’ll find.
Good tech show
I listen to Brian everyday. I am not involved in tech or startups but I live by the notion of Move Fast and Break Things. His show is a nice rap of daily news. Using his recommendations I have bought tech products and actually made an investment in a company that advertised on the show. I wish the investment would have paid off but I don’t blame him. Like I said I listen to his weekday episodes everyday and while I may not listen to his weekend bonus episodes the day they come out I have always found them insightful even if I know I would never use the tech. I wish sometimes the show was a bit longer or he included more detail but I understand the idea of trying to do a daily show in 17 minutes plus ads to be under 20 minutes. Advertiser’s give him more money please.
