Big Technology Podcast

Alex Kantrowitz has been covering Silicon Valley long enough to have real relationships with the people running things. That access shows up in every episode of Big Technology Podcast, where he regularly lands interviews with CEOs and executives who don't appear on many other shows. He's sat down with Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and the heads of companies like Google DeepMind and Qualcomm. With nearly 500 episodes and a 4.7 rating from about 480 reviews on Apple Podcasts, the show has quietly built one of the more dedicated audiences in tech media. The format shifts depending on the day. Mid-week episodes tend to be one-on-one interviews, usually running about 50 minutes to just over an hour. Kantrowitz asks direct questions and isn't afraid to push back, which sets these apart from the typical CEO puff piece. Friday episodes bring in Ranjan Roy from the Margins newsletter for a more casual news roundup, and once a month M.G. Siegler from Spyglass joins for a broader industry discussion. What makes the show work is Kantrowitz's ability to connect the dots between business strategy, technology trends, and power dynamics. He's not just reporting what happened -- he's explaining why a particular partnership or product launch actually changes the competitive picture. The companion Substack newsletter adds written context, and paid subscribers get access to a Discord community. If you want to understand the strategic thinking inside the biggest tech companies, this podcast consistently delivers the kind of access and analysis that's hard to find elsewhere.
