  • 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. The balance between solid reporting, insightful analysis, and a touch of humour keeps things interesting. A great listen for anyone who wants to stay informed about tech without the jargon overload. Highly recommended... more

  • 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.

The Interview: Bill Gates on AI risk, regulation and the "vacuum of US leadership"
Q: Do you feel like we're in a window after which it will be too late to act on AI governance?

The Interview: Cohere CEO on why democracies need sovereign AI

The Interview: Cohere CEO on why democracies need sovereign AI
Q: And is that why you reached out to Google and Google Brain for collaboration or opportunities?
The outreach to Google Brain was driven by a desire to access cutting-edge research and scalable experimentation environments; it helped accelerate Cohere's development and introduced the founders to a network that shaped the company's trajectory.
The Interview: Cohere CEO on why democracies need sovereign AI

Q: How is Notion changing its hiring to adapt to AI-enabled work?
Notion is prioritizing high agency, high taste, and broad capability, often hiring younger talent and training them to work with AI agents; interviews now involve live collaboration and building Notion demos to assess practical ability rather than relying solely on resumes.
