Description

It's also a collection of insular communities full of hidden projects, quiet rivalries, and uncomfortable truths.

Love this podcast

Actual depth! A deep dive on what it's like to try to bring diversity to a tiny startup, on masayoshi son, on sketchy cyber arms deals. Great bench of reporters and production good too.

Excellent short-form podcast

Not everyone has an hour-long commute. Decrypted presents full, compelling stories about the tech industry in weekly episodes that run for less than 30 minutes. A great discovery!

Great informative podcast in a timely manner

Love this podcast! I'm a big fan of Bloomberg news and this podcast really grabs a good story in the technology-business department for 25 minutes of your time. Just gives you great insight with detailed research from their reporters. Highly recommend.

A worthy endeavor

Decrypted is clever and informational, treating their audience like they may not be in the know but never like children. It's a great way to learn more about the tech and business industries. Both personal stories of success or failure and wide ranging stories about how businesses are dealing with certain struggling are interesting and educational.
It certainly eases my way through the work day.

Great Insights into Tech

Decrypted does a fantastic job at provided in-depth reviews of all things technology. Really appreciate the global outlook (like the most recent episode on the startup landscape in a China) and the wide variety of topics. As a college student trying to learn about all things tech and hone in on an interest within this massive space (hopefully), listening to Decrypted is some of the best 20 minutes a week I spend on listening to podcasts!

Another great podcast care of Bloomberg

Since I discovered this show, my Tuesdays haven't been complete without an episode of Decrypted.
It sets itself apart from the regular tech podcast in that each episode isn't guided solely by banter, but has a show-like quality to it where there is solid production that truly tells a news story. Additionally, it's not hifalutin— it won't ostracise those not too versed in tech jargon, but it also throws in great insight for the ongoing discussion in the tech community.
Keep it up! I wish there could be more episodes a week, but I must say the quality has been excellent.

Broccoli for your brain

I have the tendency to hit 'wait wait' or 'reply all' first but when I play decrypted I'm very satisfied. It's a little dry and the hosts don't take themselves so seriously as other similar shows (TED).

A reality check

Many business articles and other media glorify Silicon Valley. I have a computer science degree and work as a software engineer on the east coast. I like the reality check. I would love an episode on the salaries.

Very informative

This is a fun, deeply researched, and informative podcast. Great to hear the history, the petty rivalries, and the passions of the people who populate the most impactful Industry in the world.
Hope to hear future episodes on access to tech by the poor and the histories of Bell Labs, BBN etc.

Most Content Compelling / Production Value needs a little work.

So far, I find most of the content compelling. I especially enjoyed Siri, Amazon, Fake News, and Russian Hacking. I knocked the rating down one because you guys need to get some decent recording equipment, and be a little more congnizant about the room acoustics and background noise when recording remotely. Your recordings back "at base" are adequate, but the remote stuff is horrible. I listen to a lot of podcast, and yours showed me that we have grown to expect national broadcast quality from even podcasts, (as most top rated podcasts are delivering it). Keep
up the good work, afterall, I did fight through the audio issues to hear the content! Content is king! You have a good start going.

Classic Media Bias and Cluelessness

The episode on Amazon reviews was well done, but like many media outlets, they were unable to keep their left-wing bias out of their Fake News episode. The whole episode they focus on stupid anecdotes of click-bait that was pro Trump, and then they have the audacity to ponder if that is why Trump won. Much like John Oliver's piece against Trump, they open with a study about fake news by BuzzFeed "News"... How rich is that?!?!
This episode is just a perfect example of why Trump won. Towards the end of the episode they talk about how Facebook needs to show us a much more "centrist" point of view in our News Feed's, but what they don't understand is that the media is obviously biased toward the left. In fact only 7% of journalists are Republicans and 4 times that are Democrat, the rest are "independants". (Reported by Washington Post). Furthermore, how can you run an episode about "fake news" whithout talking about Michael Brown with his "hands up", or that Women earn 80 cents on the dollar "for the same job"? Both of these stories are completely false, with zero evidence to back them, and yet when I go to Bloomberg.com, I still see the same misinformation over and over again.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Fake news = Fake podcast

Who decides? I suppose you'd suggest we need government or state sponsored news in order to be able to tell. Hmmm, what has history taught us about those ventures and their supporters? #polpot #stalin #putin Well, you get the idea.
A schill for the people. Thanks Komrades. Oops, I mean...NO THANKS.

Great topics, shallow substance

Some good content, I like the subjects explored. very scripted and at times hypocritical when exploring subject matter and presenting limited Information to support their own views instead of diving deeper into cause and effect. Good opinion pieces misrepresented as investigative journalism. Take what you hear with a grain of salt. An example of this is the fake news episode. They talk about the existence of the issue but fail to dive into the SCOTUS decision saying media outlets have no obligation to tell the truth and the parts mainstream media on the left and right, Bloomberg included, have played in slanted an misinformed stories. Great topic matter, shallow substance. Hopeful the podcast will grow into its shoes.

Off to a great start ... but

I'm hyped about this show. As someone who dabbles in security, this is exciting stuff. But. Also. ... if you're going to have guests speaking on malware on a semi technical level, I'd highly suggest mixing in some grey hat folks as well. Head to 4chan and pick a few up. Also the Russian time stamp thing? Lulz. Time of activity was consistent. Fair. But saying that's evidence of Russian hackers because it's during Russian working hours? United States based hacker groups would most likely be working late at night. Reflecting a similar time window. I'm disappointed that these corporate, reverse engineering, pen testing, retired police, hacker hunters didn't realize that consistent time stamps are only consistent and not actual evidence. ........ anywayyy. May I suggest that at some point we talk about how the infamous hacker collective "anonymous" was essentially spearheaded by a once hacker turned into a FBI tool and that occupy wall street was essentially plotted by the US government? (This is an unarguably true story. See 'sabu','luzsec', and the hacking of Sony in 2011). Sorry for the rant. Find me on twitter at @hiimzackjones

A ton of potential

Really well done initial podcast on a very interesting topic of failed start up. Only I would have liked it to be longer and a little more in depth on the overall story of the start up from beginning to failure. Hopefully future podcasts will be longer as I will certainly be listening.
