Why Start a Tech Podcast Now?

I woke up this morning and thought “hey, it’s been a while since I wrote a blog post, hasn’t it?”. For the past few months I have been getting great feedback on the articles I had written on this blog, especially on the topics of Machine Learning/Deep learning and I highly value all your thoughts even though I couldn’t get back to some of you personally. I thoroughly enjoyed the process though!
As mentioned in my bio, I started writing this blog purely because I wanted to share what I was learning in the world of Tech and I was quite inspired when I saw others who did the same. And believe me when I say, you cannot underestimate the value of ‘SHARING’, especially in this exciting movement we call Tech. I encourage you to try it!
All in all I want to share a brand new step I’m taking along with my good friend and AI startup founder, CD Athuraliya, towards scaling this ‘sharing-what-we-learn’ 10 times bigger. Yes, I used the word ‘share’ too many times so far but I don’t care. I’m quite excited about this.
So Podcasts. I listen to great podcasts everyday. They have enabled me to gain valuable knowledge and ideas while on my daily commutes and leisure hours. Naming a few podcasts I love at the moment — Master of Scale with Reid Hoffman (my first introduction to podcasts), Techmeme Ride Home with Brian McCullough (best everyday Tech updates), Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway and Converge with Casey Newton.
There’s clearly so much space to deliver great value via the stream of audio, so we decided to give it a try and launch a podcast ourselves! Neither CD nor I have any prior experience in audio recording, but we thought that would make it more interesting to learn it on the go. Wish us luck!
So the podcast is called TECH SAVVY. It is available now across 10 different platforms with the help of Anchor. — Anchor is a great APP for anyone who wants to get into podcasts. Highly recommended!
What’s the goal?
We don’t want to just report on Tech. In fact we want to take a deeper and a different look at what’s happening inside Tech. Each episode we would take one or more facts, either prominent or timely, and form it into a discussion, where will be talking about our own opinions and ideas related to it.
One of the most important distinctions we are trying to make is that (as mentioned in our very first episode as well), we will be focusing more on the creation of Tech, not just the consumption of Tech.
So considering this I would suggest that the podcast is more targeted towards listeners who want to dig deeper, even upto a conceptual level of how Tech works. But we promise not to geek it out too much also at the same time. We’ll try…
Also you could expect a bit of a ‘startup’ approach in our talks as well given that both CD and I have been working with tech startups for several years now.
All things considered, TECH SAVVY will be a place where we share almost all of our interests and motives related to Tech. From time to time we will try to invite some interesting personalities as well to talk in the podcast, so it won’t just be a our squeaky voices rambling every time.
And of course this doesn’t mean that I will stop writing on this blog. In fact I would be having more things to share along with this experience, which I’m totally psyched on!
So make sure you subscribe to TECH SAVVY with CD and Mirantha, available wherever you listen to your podcasts on!
And also we still have a lot to learn and improve, so make sure to drop in your constructive criticism and feedback if you listen to us. You can use the hashtag #techsavvypodcast anywhere on social media to reach out to us and also when sharing the content.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy the pod!
