Best Tech Podcasts This Week – 04/25/22
The Tech Tribune staff has compiled a list of the best new tech podcasts released in the last week (as of the time of writing):
“Coachella & Revolve; becoming a Gigillionaire; masks off; web scraping is legal; unionization is in the air, but $30 an hour for retail; Netflix stock drop, taking a page from Spotify; quantum computing and Rydberg polaritons; Romancing the Stone & Ghostbusters; the Batman; Picard disappointments; #Adulting; sexy backpacks; label created is not shipped; Honey; salt, salt, salt; the Broken Room; Roland; CNN+ shutting down; hot cable talk; revisiting smart home problems; DNS options; cyber security advisory; the wolf of Crypto; Elon Musk is back in MOTW; Binance’s unfortunate branded hashtag.”
“Elon Musk says he’s financed his Twitter bid to the tune of $46 billion. Netflix subscriber numbers dropped for the first time in over a decade, but is the market missing the bigger picture? Also, Governor Ron DeSantis won’t be leading the Disney parade anytime soon. And, Kara and Scott take a listener question about the future of aging.”
“David Pierce rejoins The Vergecast with Nilay Patel and Alex Cranz. The crew discuss Netflix losing subscribers for the first time in over a decade, CNN Plus shutting down only a month after it launched, and a whole lot more.
Verge editor Chris Welch joins the show to discuss Sonos’ new budget soundbar that is set to release in June.”
“Netflix declines, CNN+ folds, Pixel Watch rumors, Moonbirds NFT, salty chopsticks.”
“Alan Yeung is a professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the former head of the Foxconn project in Wisconsin. If you don’t quite remember, the Foxconn project in Wisconsin was announced in 2017 as a massive deal to build the first “Generation 10.5” LCD factory in North America. It was also one of the first big moments in the Trump presidency, complete with President Trump holding a golden shovel at a lavish groundbreaking ceremony where he said the factory would be “the eighth wonder of the world.”
But it turned out that while Foxconn was putting on a great show, no LCD factory was actually getting built, even though Foxconn kept saying it was happening.”

“Sixteen-year-old M.H. was excited for another year on her cheerleading squad in suburban Pennsylvania. But the year was cut short when an anonymous number texted a video of her vaping to her parents and the cheerleading coaches. Vaping was against the squad’s code of conduct. The thing was, when local police investigated, they determined that the video wasn’t of M.H. According to officials, it was a deepfake sent by another cheerleader’s mother.”
