Podcast Essential Listening: Tech Brew Ride Home

Aug 6, 2025

Podcast

Ironically, the third of my three “essential listen” daily podcasts underwent a change in the last week: a new name but the same format and content that has made it one of the podcasts that I don’t miss an episode of.

Formerly the Techmeme Ride Home and now the Tech Brew Ride Home, host Brian McCullough delivers a daily dose of tech news that is wider in scope (in other words, not Apple-focused) than my first pick. Now associated with Morning Brew, who’s morning podcast and newsletter I recommended last week, and like my other picks, it is high in signal, and low (very low) in noise.

There are some other very good daily tech shows out there that I enjoy on an intermittent basis, but they can drag or go off-topic a bit too much for my taste. These three are my gold standard for staying informed on a daily basis in the most efficient fashion I have found.

Next week I will turn my attention to some of the other podcasts that I value highly, but that don’t publish on a daily basis.

If you have comments or recommendations, I would love to hear them. Drop me an email!
