Essential Tech News for a Decade: Daily Tech News Show Delivers Consistently
I’ve been listening to the Daily Tech News Show for the past ten years, and it has become an indispensable part of my daily morning commute. As someone who likes to stay current on tech news, I can confidently say this is the best and most consistent podcast available. The show’s format, featuring daily guest hosts like Scott Johnson, Justin Robert Young, and others, keeps the content fresh and engaging. The in-depth analysis and timely updates on the latest tech developments are second to none. The host’s expertise and the variety of perspectives make every episode informative and entertaining. This podcast truly sets the standard for tech news coverage, earning a well-deserved five stars from me.
Dropping two stars because ai
They cannot seem to stop talking about stupid ai. There’s nothing new only minor updates and use cases, but it seems like there is nothing else they can talk about. Find something else, find something good to chat about.
Consistently evolving, and still the best daily source of tech news
I’ve said this before, but DTNS continues to deliver every day, and I never miss an episode. AND I support DTNS on Patreon because it is obvious that the bonus content for patrons is worth it as well. I’ve yet to find another show that respects my time and insists on journalistic integrity as well as Tom, Sarah, Roger and the regular contributors and guests.
