Love it, but…

When you bundle both legal and illegal immigration into just “immigration” in your analysis, you are promoting the left’s agenda. I expect more balance from the WSJ.
Good news, production quality hit and miss…

WSJ please hire some voice talent, and hire an audio engineer that can level audio so I’m not riding the volume dial thru the episode. 😞
Informative

Great Podcast
Depends on the host

Not all hosts are created equal. Some hosts I enjoy, there are a couple hosts that have speech irregularities/impediments I don’t enjoy listening to.
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

Great show
Unique and informative

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.
Sounds like for teenagers.

Can you get some adults conducting the show?
Good content, not a fan of 2x daily

I don’t know why so many people hate on the hosts or hate on their commentary. It’s called news, and anyone, including Elon, can spout disinformation. Anyway, you all are doing a good job. Don’t listen to the haters. As a constructive critique, please revert to once daily. I never listen to the second, minute-ish long episode. There’s not enough content to be useful in my view. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Ugh

why??$??

Too many twentysomethings with extreme vocal fry who don’t know what they’re talking about. And ads are so irritating.
