The WAN Show

Linus Sebastian built the biggest tech YouTube channel in the world with Linus Tech Tips, and every Friday he sits down with co-host Luke Lafreniere for The WAN Show to break down the week in technology news. It is essentially a tech news roundtable that runs anywhere from two and a half to four-plus hours, making it one of the longest weekly podcasts you will find. With 375 episodes and a 4.7-star rating, the show has become a staple for people who want their tech news filtered through the perspective of someone who actually builds, tests, and reviews hardware for a living. Linus and Luke cover everything from GPU launches and CPU benchmarks to corporate controversies, privacy scandals, and the business side of the tech industry. The format is straightforward: they work through a topic list, riff on each story, take live audience questions, and occasionally go on tangents that are more entertaining than the planned content. Linus is opinionated and not afraid to criticize companies by name, which gives the commentary an edge that sanitized tech journalism lacks. Luke brings a more measured perspective and keeps things balanced. The show started streaming live on YouTube back in 2015 and the live chat adds an interactive element that audio-only listeners miss. But even as a pure podcast, the depth of tech coverage is hard to beat.
