Tech Talk Y'all
Edgewise Media
Tech Talk Y'all is a weekly technology news show covering what has happened this week in tech, with hosts Sanjay Parekh and Adam Walker. Sanjay and Adam talk about technology, weird and wacky tech news, and make weekly tech recommendations (a fan favorite). Depending on your level of humor, episodes may or may not be funny (but they definitely are).
