4.4 out of 5 stars from 3.3k ratings
  • Not as reliable as it once was

    I’ve been listening to the WSJ’s news podcasts for a decade now and lately I have noticed a discernible change in their focus.

    There is a ‘subject bias’ or a highly narrow ‘cultural focus’ such that, while they still report the facts & news, there is an unavoidable hyperfocus on right & far-right-leaning topics/subjects that, in whole, are not reflective of the tech or business worlds.

    I've already unsubscribed from ‘What’s News’ and ‘Tech News Briefing’ may be next.

    **sigh**

    The Tech Minute is bookended with 30 s-1 min long ads on each end. That’s a lot of ads for a minute long show.

    Why not replace robotic human readers that have speech and maturity challenges with AI generated voices? Current “hosts” add nothing to the content they are mechanically reading

  • “Inside Duolingo’s…” Episode

    In ‘reporting’ on H1B visas, the person said, “Are tech companies going to just say we'll only pay for like certain stars and then the rest will just figure out how to hire a US worker or outsource some other way?” I love the “figure out how to hire Americans” comment. * this guy and his contempt for American workers.
