I'd really like something like this in podcast form. Summarize the best links and maybe invite some highly rated commenters on for discussion.

We do that for tech on Charged podcast, and phone people in the industry for comment (recent guests include Keen.io, CEO of DigitalOcean etc). Try it out? https://char.gd/podcast

The podcast appears to be hosts discussing their life in tech along with some current tech topics instead of focusing on summaries of specific content -- very reminiscent of TechZingLive. John definitely has a lot of connections in the valley!

Me too. Weekly. Preferably, by someone with British accent. I noticed that British in the US talk slower and their vocabulary tends to be more succinct, while using less slang and less "mmm, eee, oooh, etc."

There is a cultural difference that makes British speakers way more appealing to me I guess.

I tried "this week in tech" but it was too much "headlines" talk. Also I totally dislike the style compared BBC podcasts for example. I can listen to BBC podcasts while I work without getting tired or distracted.
