  • My go to news podcast

    Been a listener of DB since 2022. Snigdha and Rahael are doing a phenomenal job in bringing the right news that tech professionals like me deserve to know. The duo does their best to simplify the analysis without dumbing down.

  • Good news podcast, but too much bloat before and after news

    The news stories are good. Casual discussions around big stories in the country.

    However constant sale messages of events, music outro intro is too much.

  • AI DRIVEN CONTENT

    A lot of the voice overs are AI driven. This is not appreciated.

    Also a lot of the facts are not true especially the podcast on Doctors, Healthcare and Pharma. They are very very biased.
