Casey Newton has been writing about social media and tech for a very long time. His platformer newsletter is fantastic. They’ve been the primary source for leaks coming out of twitter chronicling Elon’s mess.

He’s got a podcast, Hard Fork, which I enjoy: https://www.nytimes.com/column/hard-fork

The other podcast I try and listen to every episode of is TechMeme Ride Home which is a nicely edited 15 minute daily podcast about tech and startup news: https://www.ridehome.info/show/techmeme-ride-home/

The ride home podcasts often suggests long reads which are good and has longer interviews with specific people.

Techmeme Ridehome really is the best daily update podcast I’ve ever listened to. Would love to get Brian on nostr. I bet he would find some aspects of it quite compelling

We totally gotta get Casey to join Nostr so he can post these often! But he is already on Bluesky and Mastodon too so may be a bit of a thing to manage all of these platforms :D

We’re working on an update to rsslay that converts the posts to markdown and posts with a kind:30023 event instead of the summary that’s posted with kind:1. I want it because I want full articles from rss on nostr that I can share and interact with, specifically some of the substack newsletters I subscribe to.

#[4] is doing the dev on updating rsslay.

forgot Kara Swishers literal housemate, but I do agree one of the voices I enjoy to hate watch and stay balanced and informed what others are thinking with 😅
