While Lewis George Hilsenteger is extremely popular with his YouTube channel Unbox Therapy, his podcasts are even more intricate with their approach to technology. Listening to his podcasts, you’ll gain valuable insights on seemingly random things, which in turn have a huge impact in the technological spheres.
For example, in his more recent episode, Lewis talks about how the Apple foldable will change the course of laptop technology in the coming years. There’s also talk about how various tech giants such as Google and Facebook are changing the ecosystem little by little.
These sorts of insights are highly interesting to listen to, and thankfully, there are over 400 episodes to binge through. You’re missing out on an amazing podcast if you haven’t listened to Lew Later yet.
While most of us browse the internet for stories regarding new technologies, reviews, and solutions to tech problems that we may face, there’s a completely different technological world out there that goes unnoticed. Darknet Diaries brings these tech stories to the fore.
Whether it’s true stories about hacking or the possibilities of different cybercrimes, Jack Rhysider brings you the best stories regarding the horrors committed through technology.

8. Analog(ue) – How tech affects our lives
Technology is a massive part of an ever-changing world. As such, you’ll find plenty of podcasts online on new technologies and what they bring to the table for a better future. However, these shows rarely talk about how technology affects our personal lives.
With Analog(ue), hosts Casey Liss and Myke Hurley bring a personal touch to the world of technology. Whether it’s about Apple Watches changing how we see fitness or just conversations about different pieces of technology making our lives easier (or tougher), the hosts talk about their interpersonal lives and ground realities.
Sometimes, the podcasts just need to be relatable. This is the podcast I’m sure plenty of us will relate to.
Over the past decade, radio shows have been slowly phased out with podcasts. However, when radio shows were at their zenith, Leo Laporte was part of the best in extrapolating and explaining technologies.
The Tech Guy podcast features recordings of the live shows that Laporte conducts over the airwaves. There are absolutely no limits to what Laporte talks about on his show concerning technology. From cable TV to Elon Musk’s Starlink, Laporte has valuable opinions on them all.

Technology is a massive sphere to keep tabs on. Industries, companies, and even daily lives are shaped and reshaped by the minutest of changes. Due to this, most podcasts tend to stick to a particular niche to simplify delivering tech news.
