    Informative and entertaining
    Milan Sargent is smart, curious and explains tech in a way that’s accessible to a wide audience. His rotating co-hosts keep the show fresh and adds variety to the opinions and insights.

    Obvious political stance reinforced by a parade of only leftist voices of the guest.
    Bye.
  • Manny Camps
    Talk faster please
    JFC I’m listening at 2x speed(the fastest speed available on Apple’s Podcast app) and the host is still taking forever to get a point across, it sounds like normal speed
  • Sophie26773389:
    Too political
    The show is too political
  • Mr Flashlight
    Needs some energy
    This is quite possibly the most boring show on tech I’ve heard. The announcers are very monotone and have difficulty getting there point across. Seems like it needs a boost.
  • JasonBrad
    Liberal bias is getting old
    Before listening I read the show notes and skip any week they will be talking about a subject that is in any way political. I’m so tired of the liberal bias and snarky remarks about conservatives or their views.
  • allreadytaken1
    Keep it about the tech
    Was a long time listener but bias is and going way off away from real tech has done it for me. This show just keeps moving away from tech and getting more of a feeling of trying to push the bias onto the listener.
  • Flyindanm
    Your bias is showing!
    While I appreciate most of your content, your woke liberal and leftist bias is too much, unsubscribed. When you take the woke “misinformation /disinformation” out, and strictly talk tech again, I might resubscribe.
  • Justafrogg
    Drones on and on
    20 minutes of information stretched out for over an hour!

    Far better tech shows exist
    This show feels like a relic of the pre-podcast days in which it is bloated with too many low quality topics and discussion from hosts who aren’t that prepared. The ads are obnoxious and the topics drift around without moderator discipline. You can find far better tech podcasts than this one.
  • cfriendr
    Not what it used to be.
    The hosts have very little chemistry. I feel like the only time Jason talks is to tell us about an ad, and the other guy (don’t even remember his name) is just so dull, and the questions they ask are mud and and simple. The discussions went from being insightful and interesting to now just being older Gen-X adults just not understanding something. It kinda just feels like a B-tier version of the main show, something Laporte let go downhill long ago. I was hoping to resubscribe to the TWiT network now that i have time to listen to podcasts again, but it’s just not what it used to be. What a shame.

    Great Topics
    Really liked every topic that was presented. Thank you 🙏🏽
  • malfoxley
    Great show!
    Jason and Mikah, hosts of the Tech News Weekly podcast, highlight all aspects of tech and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

    I was a listener for months now, but today I just could not continue. They had Damon Perez discussing hardware obsolescence and how software sometimes drives this issue. Complained about how Apple does this with their iPhones, but then mentioned how they have gotten a “little bit better” as the latest iOS still supports the iPhone 6s… which was released in 2015!! Also complained about hardware obsolescence… my wife and I still use our iPhone 7’s and likely won’t upgrade until we are forced… but these phones have lasted far longer than anticipated. If you cannot find better guests than this, there are far more informative podcasts available.

    Sad they refuse to learn
    I really trust this show for tech news but listening to Jason Howell and Mikah Sargent say things like they dont want to “learn about crypto” made me sad. Rather then understand bitcoins almost 12 years of uncensored money they puff the idea away. I would hope they can get a guest like Pomp or alike to explain the finer points in simple language. Also any guest they have to talk about bitcoin always seems deliberately underinformed.
  • ptcgkm
    I enjoy this show!

    Excellent interviews
    Jason Howell and Mikah Sargent are skilled interviewers, and the producers find fantastic guests to interview with relevant insight into the topic of the day. I like getting daily tech news but I also like getting a deep dive from Jason and Mikah every week.
  • Derekpizza
    Love it!!
    Love it!!

    Refreshing, Organic and a Good Time!
    I know I know - another amazing podcast to recommend to you. Before you say “I have enough podcasts on my list...” let me ask you this - do you listen to a variety of podcasts? I personally enjoy the mystery/solving crimes podcasts - but soon realized I had only tapped into a fraction of what is out there. So I decided to broaden my mind and searched for tech related podcasts (since that is where I lack the most). This was one of the suggestions that appeared - Tech News Weekly. I decided to give it a go - and I am so glad I did! Jason and Mikah are genuinely enjoyable to watch! Their energy is contagious and I have learned something new every episode I have watched. I HIGHLY suggest subscribing to these two (plus amazing guests) right now! Thank you for keeping the podcast world exciting, fresh and accurate. I appreciate you both!
  • XrayDean
    Thanks for a great podcast!
    I appreciate listening to your podcast both on the iPhone and on Twitch!
  • Kidvicious
    It was okay then politics
    This used to be a pretty good listen. Lately the obvious left leaning politics of all the guests makes it difficult to think the news being reported is unbiased.
  • Al000n
    Boring
    What a boring show, boring topics. Talk about tech, science, 3D, games, space. Try to bring interesting guests.
  • Martin Ellingham
    Consider this:
    They never challenge guest journalists. They accept the guest comments without asking about source validity. Goal is entertainment rather than news.
  • KayakOtter
    Good information in easy format.
    I like this podcast and look forward to each episode. Good audio quality.
  • donkeygot 123456
    Good stuff
    Thanks for keeping me up to date with latest tech news and putting me on to apps like Libby I like the app good stuff
  • Camera Mam
    Keep up on what's happening in today's world.
    This pod cast usually futures three journalist and the stories thy have just published. I love this pod cast but will admit to going to 1 1/2 and even 2x speed. Grate show bt you may want to speed through it.
  • Generalwebb
    Enjoyed the Most recent podcast very much.
    Learned so much. Wirecutter and the Ringer are my favorite websites, good to here from their writers on this great podcast. Didn’t even know what a VPN was before I listened, Mark and all the other guests Killed it.

    I miss the daily podcast . There is a void in daily podcasting reviling tech
  • DSEichinger
    I like it
    It's a great show. I just wished they focused less on commercial tech stuff and more on government and academic tech. I'm not looking to buy the next Apple or Amazon so-and-so. I want to know what's the cutting edge of tech. How's that James Webb telescope doing? Also, why are there reviews from 2010? I thought this show only had 15 episodes to date?
  • NYC to Louisville
    This used to be awesome
    This was great as a daily tech podcast. I mostly did the audio version. It was great to hear the tech news on my way into work. Now this is a glorified weekly wrap up. There are enough of those. Please bring back the daily format. I enjoy the hosts. I enjoy the network. I haven’t unsubscribed, but I’m getting there.
  • CountryUSA
    Not the same as TNT, but still a solid show
    I miss the daily format of TNT, but TnW is still a great show, and always worth a listen
  • Dhfkfjgkfu
    Good show
    I like the show and it is a good podcast
  • emotd
    New Weekly=Old Daily
    New show with a 7 year old review... me thinks Lisa is playing with the feed to jack up the numbers
  • Grasli
    Tech not politics
    Pleas keep to tech not politics...
  • Dan_Review
    More political views intertwined with tech news...
    Decent tech news made boring and ultimately led to me un-subscribing because the hosts, Megan in particular, feels as though her politically motivated comments about certain people and companies are universally accepted. Sorry but there are much better ways to get tech news. No thanks.
  • Pacman5633
    News Articles straight from the journalist’s mouth
    Great way to get the tech news with an uplifting and fun beat.
  • johnnaryry
    More like Tech News Yesterday…
    Although it's described as a daily news show, posting times have inexplicably slipped steadily to later and later, with yesterday's show (9 August 2017) hitting the feed after 23:00. Seriously? It's no longer worth the wait, I've unsubscribed. Enough with SquareSpace, LegalZoom, Zip-Recructer etc! Primetime television shows have a fewer ads per 30 minutes than this show. The ads aren’t even creative or clever, just repetition of the same 2-3 bits of info over and over for 4-7 minutes - Seriously? Also, do they ever do sound checks? At least half of the remote guests are nearly unintelligible due to echo and background noise. Episode 1310 had a guest who sounded like he was vacuuming inflight!
  • Quakefan
    Not a very good show
    I tried listening to this but the format is not very good. Mostly it annoyed me because there are waaaaaay too many commercials for a show that doesn't even go an hour. I'm all for sponsored shows but wow, this is ott.
  • Dkm09
    Stay out of politics
    I have been listening to twit podcasts since they started. Lately, between Leo and Moroney it is just an irritation to listen to. You keep saying you want to stay out of politics but keep bringing it up. I have deleted many apps because of the same thing. I love you Leo but the irritation is getting to the point of not being worth dealing with.
  • Vlade31
    It's safe to come back!
    Jason and Megan are great! This show is fun and informative.
  • Farmerbright
    My new favorite
    I had basically quit listening to this podcast when Megan and Jason came aboard and changed everything. Their enthusiasm, knowledge, and practical discussion of tech news makes the show awesome. Whether they are the Wonder twins or Calvin and Hobbes of tech news, I will tune in for every show.

    Biased, sensational reporting and misinformation. These guys need to put their act together!
  • DianaTX
    Daily must
    This has become one of only two things I actually make sure I listen to daily. The topics are always interesting, the banter enjoyable, and I feel more informed than ever. Great job guys, keep it up!
  • Lookatthemonkeys
    love the show
    Love Jason Howell. He deserves to be in the spot light!
  • ohbotherva
    Okay Tech News
    Okay
  • Shiloh Tzu
    Epic goodness!!
    Megan rocks and Jason is spot on.
  • len 2guitarplayer40012
    Show goes no where
    I have tried to listen to show for several years and the hosts keep getting worse . Leo try paying some real money and get some grow up speakers
  • pperk97
    APPLE people
    Apple fan boys argueing about how great their stuff is.. Jason tries but the rest are just angry apple goons.. like leo..
  • Mavrickhunter4
    This show isn't the same.
    The quality of twit shows have gone down over the last 2 years I have long unsubstantiated from all twit show.
  • Hoeyhimself
    Unsubscribed, do not recommend. Bad.
    When TNT lost Tom Merritt as its host, I was so disappointed in Mike Elgan as a replacement. But I felt giving him the benefit of knowing it takes time to get into the groove of a new gig was fair. Well, that was almost two years ago, and Elgan has failed to capture my interest. This show, along with everything else from the perishing TWiT network, is tainted by the perverse ringleader Leo Laporte.
