Great Podcast
AI narrator is terrible

I’ve been subscribed to this podcast for a long time, and I just unsubscribed and removed all episodes. WSJ now has some incredibly fake-sounding AI narrating. Most podcast shows slow down the speed so playback at about 1.25x is actually normal speech, but try listening to this show at 1x now without clawing your own eyes out… it’s a travesty
Good Show

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.
