United Kingdoma year ago - Concise and Balanced Tech News
I found this podcast looking for tech news that summarizes the latest tech stories (~10minutes) concisely without any (or much) political skew. Dave delivers this pretty consistently, with good analysis and questions - I’m a daily listener now!

I listen to Dave the first five minutes on the treadmill or stationary bike.
Perfect productive warm up time.
Apple Podcasts5SK-All-dayUnited States2 years ago - Downgrade rating
The analysis and incites are still pretty good, but the quantity and quality of ads are obnoxious. Longtime subscriber here and I definitely cannot recommend at this time. I will give it a try again in January to see if quality has returned.
Dave if you want to be a trusted voice do not allow advertisements you do not personally recommend.
