5 Best Technology Podcasts for Businesses
We like to keep up to date with what’s happening in the world of tech. And podcasts are one of our favourite ways to do it.
If you want to understand more about tech and make the most of your drive home check out our top five technology podcasts.
Tomorrow’s World
Yes, this is the podcast of the BBC programme of the same name. Things have moved on from the often comic and wildly inaccurate predictions of yesteryear.
Instead, you can expect to hear thought-provoking episodes about where technology is heading. Britt Way and Dr Ellie Cosgrave host a twelve-part series that examines how science and tech can solve some of the biggest issues impacting our lives today.
Podcasts are divided into topics so you can find what you’re looking for more easily. Here are some key podcasts from the latest series:
- What is encryption? Do we need a new internet?
- Could your brain communicate with a machine?
- Could we build an artificial superintelligence?
Most of the podcasts are 30 to 45-minutes long making them perfect for your commute.
WIRED UK
Although the podcast titles might seem a little click-baity, you can’t help finding out more. Based on the online magazine, Wired, the series explores the interesting stories the Wired team has worked on that week.
Topics are wide-ranging so there really is something for everyone including:
Each 30-minute episode covers at least five stories ranging from the serious to the engagingly trivial. You can expect an episode each week all delivered in an energetic and engaging style.
Women in Business and Technology
For a much-needed female perspective on the often male-dominated world of tech listen to The Women in Business and Technology podcast.
Built to empower women in their careers, the podcasts showcase women in business and technology roles and their male allies. Whether you’re just starting out in the tech industry, managing women for the first time or simply want to know more about interesting tech topics, give this podcast a go.
As you can see from the list below, the presenters Colleen O’Brien and Sonia Dara, secure interviews with major female and male leaders in the tech world. Their conversational style helps their guests open up giving you insights into how to make technology work for everyone.
