    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 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. They bring on experts to really explore tech trends and the future impact of innovation. I'd also add Exponent to the list for insightful analysis of tech and society.

The Daily: While not exclusively tech-focused, it often covers significant tech stories. Reply All: A mix of tech stories and internet culture. Waveform: Focuses on consumer tech and reviews, alongside news. Exploring Deep Topics Radiolab: Deep dives into scientific and philosophical topics with a storytelling approach. TED Radio Hour: Explores ideas and innovations through TED talks. Freakonomics Radio: Examines the hidden side of everything, including tech's impact on society. The Long Now: Discusses long-term thinking and the implications of technology on the future.

    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!
