  • Insightful, engaging, and always enjoyable

    The Times Tech Podcast has quickly become one of my favourites. The presenters have a great rapport that makes each episode feel natural and easy to listen to. I really appreciate the focus on a single topic per episode—it allows for a deeper dive without ever feeling overwhelming.

  • New format needs work

    I was a fan of Danny in the Valley but the new format is not yet delivering. It feels like 15 min of content for 1 hr of listening. The presenters are v professional but talking to each other is not as compelling as hearing them interview tech practitioners.

    Please rethink - good talent being wasted here.

  • Great podcast

    I have regularly listened to this podcast for several years (previously as Danny in the Valley) and always found it to be insightful and interesting, with a different range of interviewees than the usual suspects. I like the new format with two hosts bouncing off each other - my only, selfish, request is to bring back the Danny in the Valley opening music as it brings back nice memories !
