Over the years technology has become an integral part of people's life. Now people use technology to communicate regardless of their knowledge of the surrounding area/location. Basically, nowadays people like to know about stuff, get their news on the fly. Nobody has time to sit in front of a TV to watch a news channel show. That's where Podcasts as a media comes in the picture. Podcasts as a media source have enabled people to follow the latest news and trends in technology while commuting, walking, working out, etc. Podcasts can also be downloaded and listened offline, therefore, making it easy to follow your interest even without an internet connection. Today I'm specifically targeting the technology genre of the podcast. Podcasts offered in this catalog discuss important and trending topics of the tech industry. Some of them bring you the daily tech news, all news and product analysis related to android, while others try to understand and solve social technology-related online issues. Podcasts are an increasingly popular way to stay up to date on the topics you love and these hosts make sure to feature and discuss some of those topics throughout the episode. There are podcasts having one episode of about 30-50 minutes but if you want something short and simple, I've got you covered. So, here's the list of top 5 tech podcasts of 2019! These podcasts are not in any specific order, they all are equally great and fun to listen.
1.Android Authority Podcast
Android Authority Podcast is a weekly podcast where the host Adam Doud along with Joe Hindy and Jonathan Feist discusses interesting topics and news happened in the android world. You can expect to hear the news, opinions, and comments from these three on a special topic every Friday. The podcast also brings some bonus special episodes containing featured stories. In these episodes, the trio takes a deep dive into a single topic to explain and discuss in more detail. The episodes are usually around 45-50 minutes. This podcast was relaunched in July 2018 and is running since then. This is basically a part of the AA media ecosystem. This fits right into the media offerings of android authority such as the AA youtube channel and the AA website.
2.DGiT Daily Podcast
DGiT Daily Podcast is a daily news podcast hosted by Adam Doud. This podcast is integrated with the DGiT Daily newsletter. The podcast is specially focused on bringing you all the tech news and links to all the interesting things happening on the web. News podcasts might sound boring to someone but I can promise you this isn't anywhere close to the traditional news podcast. The host mixes his humor and other special talents to make a perfect daily podcast. The episodes are usually just around 7-9 minutes. This podcast was launched in October 2018 and is going strong ever since. As per the host, "The newsletter and podcast are produced to complement each other. Bullet points of the newsletter rundown are expanded upon on the podcast." So, in short, if you want to start your day with some tech geekery combined with a chuckle here and there, then DGiT Daily is the perfect podcast for you.
3. Why'd You Push That Button?
Why'd You Push That Button is a tech podcast hosted by Ashley Carman and Kaitlyn Tiffany. This is a production of The Verge and Vox Media network. This is a podcast about the choices technology forces us to make, the buttons it forces us to push. The podcast features interviews of friends of hosts, customers, developers and sometimes strangers. This podcast starts off with a weird and sometimes unnoticed question and tries to find the answer to that question throughout the rest of the episode. The episodes are around anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes. This podcast was launched in 2017 and is currently in its third season. Some of the questions asked on the podcast include, Why'd you send voice messages? , How do you choose your emoji skin tone? and What makes a place Instagram-worthy? So, if you want answers to these kinds of questions then this is, without any doubt, the best podcast for you.
4.Crazy/Genius
Crazy/Genius is a weekly podcast hosted by Derek Thompson. This podcast is produced by The Atlantic media network. This is a podcast about big questions about technology, science, and culture. Derek with the help of some guest interviews tries to tackle some of the big social issues and problems which sometimes are caused by technology. This podcast also starts off with a question and interviews its way towards a possible answer. The answer might not be pleasing to everybody but most of the times it is the only solution to the question. The episodes are around half an hour. The podcast was launched in 2018 and has just ended its third season. While season two was about five ideas to save the world, the third season was about unbreaking the internet. This goes to show the diversity of this show. This season the podcast tried to answer some questions like How Has Netflix Changed Entertainment?, Why Should We Care About Privacy? etc.
5.Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast
If you have been following the tech industry for at least some time, I bet you have come across the name MKBHD at least once. Marques Brownlee aka MKBHD is a famous tech YouTuber who makes some great and informative tech videos. He's been making videos for almost a decade now! But recently he has started his own new podcast. Waveform is a tech podcast for gadget lovers and MKBHD fans. This is a weekly podcast where Marques will take a deep dive into the latest in tech. Although the podcast is just out and only one episode is aired, I'm pretty sure that this is going to be a good one. This can be called as an extension to his youtube channel. The first episode is of 50 minutes so likely all the upcoming ones will be of the same duration.
