What Podcasts Are Great for Keeping Up with Tech News vs. Exploring Deep Topics?
I’m always on the hunt for great tech podcasts—whether it’s to catch up on the latest trends or dive deep into a specific topic. Personally, I’m a big fan of Hard Fork for its smart takes on tech culture and how it blends news with deep discussions. How about you? What are your go-to podcasts for staying informed or exploring in-depth tech topics?

For keeping up with tech news, I enjoy Techmeme Ride Home - it's a short daily podcast that summarizes the day's top tech stories. For deeper dives, a16z Podcast and Exponent are fantastic. They feature VCs, entrepreneurs and other tech experts doing long-form discussions on trends and ideas shaping the industry. Acquired is another great one for company deep dives if you want the inside story on major tech acquisitions and IPOs. Let me know if you check any of those out!
For tech news, I love Techmeme Ride Home - a quick 15-20 minute daily podcast that summarizes the day's top tech stories. And for deep dives, a16z Podcast is fantastic.
