Jon Swartz, Senior Content Writer, Techstrong Group 56:05

Play Pause

11d ago56:05

56:05

In more than three decades covering technology, John Swartz has met a lot of people: engineers, journalists, CEOs, and he's got a story for all of them. As a student at San Jose State, he was part of a newspaper staff that was led by AP's Mike Lidke and included at least a half dozen other pioneers in tech journalism. As a reporter for 17 years at …

Maribel Lopez, Founder & Principal Analyst, Lopez Research 43:59

1M ago43:59

43:59

Back when Maribel Lopez left Forrester and became an independent analyst in 2008, she was taking a great risk. Independent analysts were not the force they are today. Social media was just getting going, blogs were still in their infancy, and podcasts were still called online videos. But today, in part because of Maribel's pioneering work in the fi…

Third Anniversary Episode: Michael Nuñez, Editor Director, VentureBeat & Fred Vogelstein, Co-Editor and Co-Founder, CrazyStupidTech 55:16

2M ago55:16

55:16

We all know the internet has significantly impacted media's business model over the past three decades, and the conventional wisdom is that AI will do the same. Many believe it will replace reporters, lead to computer-generated news stories, increase misinformation, produce more fake news, and generally make a struggling industry even worse. But wh…

Allie Garfinkle, Senior Finance Reporter, Fortune 52:01

4M ago52:01

52:01

Whatever stodgy image you have in your mind of the typical finance news reporter, I guarantee it isn't Allie Garfinkle. And yet still relatively early in her career, Allie has established herself as one of the best in that business with a resume that includes Forbes, The Deal, Yahoo Finance, and of course Fortune, where she serves as senior finance…

This week, we're highlighting another great podcast, Misadventures in Marketing, that is produced by our friends at the American Marketing Association San Francisco (AMASF). In this, the 4th episode of Misadventures in Marketing, hosts Steve Haney and Peter Farago dive into the fun-filled world of corporate messaging, start-up style. They discuss t…

Annie Saunders, Editor, Tech Brew 24:32

4M ago24:32

24:32

Annie Saunders has been a tech journalist for several years now, but her diverse career background, local news, commodities, food, had her questioning why we'd even invite her on this show. No need to question yourself, Annie. Generalists make great tech journalists, as is evidenced by the reporting on AI, EV transportation, and climate tech for Mo…

Julie Bort, Editor, Startups & Venture Capital, TechCrunch 39:53

6M ago39:53

39:53

Julie Bort has been in tech journalism long enough to have had not one, but two tenures of 13 plus years – first at Network World and then at Business Insider, now editor of VCs and startups at TechCrunch. You might be surprised to learn that one of the most prolific voices in B2B Tech reporting nearly became a teacher, and you'll definitely be sur…

Jeremey Owens, Editor-in-Chief, San Francisco Business Times 45:24

7M ago45:24

45:24

Jeremy Owens just landed a new gig as the latest editor in chief of the San Francisco Business Times. In this market, that's a minor miracle. Jeremy joined us to talk about that change, his early plans for the outlet's mission, and why he thinks San Francisco is the New Orleans of the West. That's a new one for this episode of Pressing Matters from…

Matt Kapko, Reporter, CyberScoop 32:50

8M ago32:50

32:50

Are you ready for RSA 2025? Matt Kapko of CyberScoop is, and he definitely doesn't want to hear about AI, although he and I–and everyone listening to the podcast today–all know he will. In addition to AI, Matt joined us to talk about his early days singing in a punk rock band in Orange County, his time in a string of hyperlocal newspapers, and more…

Fred Vogelstein, Co-Editor and Co-Founder, CrazyStupidTech 53:34

9M ago53:34

53:34

Fred Vogelstein wanted to be a Moscow bureau chief. He did manage to get to Berlin as a student in the months after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, but he still hasn't been to Moscow. Instead, Fred became one of the most influential technology reporters of his generation, with stints at the Wall Street Journal, Wired, The Information, US News, and Fo…

Catherine Sbeglia Nin, Managing Editor, RCR Wireless News 32:41

10M ago32:41

32:41

Unlike most of our previous guests, Catherine Sbeglia Nin didn't set out to be a reporter. She was a doctoral candidate in film theory. When realizing she was miserable, she figured she'd find other ways to tell stories after dipping her toes in the journalism waters. RCR Wireless, one of the magazines of record for Telco Wireless and networking, o…

Patrick Seitz, Senior Writer, Investor's Business Daily 37:31

11M ago37:31

37:31

It's pretty rare these days to find anyone in tech media who has been at the same outlet for a quarter century. But Patrick Seitz has been covering the fascinating world of tech, finance, and the stock market for exactly that: 25 years at Investors' Business Daily. A Chicago-area native who cut his teeth covering courts and crime, Pat switched to c…

Michael Krigsman, Host and Publisher, CXOTalk 32:07

12M ago32:07

32:07

Michael Krigsman doesn't call himself a journalist. Yes, he has produced 800 podcasts and videos in the past 11 years as the founder and host of CXOTalk, but he doesn't have a journalism degree or any editorial training, and his pieces are a mix of editorial and sponsored. That said, Michael does have an innate sense of story. He's not afraid to ch…

Esther Ajao, News Writer, TechTarget 35:16

1y ago35:16

35:16

At the age of eight, Esther Ajao did something braver than most of us will do in our entire lives. Having spent her early years in her native Nigeria, raised by an extended family of grandparents and uncles, Esther moved across the ocean to Brooklyn to reunite with her mother, who had moved to America when Esther was just six months old. Removed fr…

Michael Nuñez, Editorial Director at VentureBeat 53:17

1y ago53:17

53:17

The path Michael Nuñez took to a seemingly straightforward gig – Editorial director at VentureBeat – was anything but direct. He covered the fun side of Hong Kong, the travel beat in Korea, and even wrote for an airline magazine in New York City after various tech writing gigs. He spent two years and change as head of marketing at a VC, but for com…

38:41

Diana Goovaerts initially got into the publishing business. But frustrated by that industry’s speed - or lack thereof - she shifted to the fast-paced world of journalism, first as a local reporter in her native North Jersey and, later, in the past decade, at WirelessWeek, GSMA and now Fierce Network, where she serves as executive editor.

Rich Jaroslovsky, Senior Advisor at SmartNews Inc. 46:16

1+ y ago46:16

46:16

Rich Jaroslovsky’s career goal was to be the D.C. correspondent for a major newspaper. He achieved that - at 22 - for a little outlet called The Wall Street Journal. He covered Gerald Ford’s doomed re-election campaign in 1976. Five years later, mere hours after President Reagan was shot by would-be assassin John Hinckley, Rich was at the White Hou…

Remember the first? I’ll tell you in a moment. In the meantime, give it up for the teamwork one learns on the soccer fields, which Ryan s…

Monica Alleven, Executive Editor at Fierce Wireless 41:35

2y ago41:35

41:35

Monica Alleven has been covering the wireless industry since 1995 - a time when the notion of wireless was so limited, almost everyone was still using a landline to connect to the Internet, very few people had a cell phone and no one - of course - had a smartphone, since those were 12 years in the future. Almost 30 years since she started, Monica i…
