A New Podcast to Navigate Shifts in the Technology Industry

Introducing TECHtonic: Trends in Technology and Services

I love podcasts and listen to them every day–in the car, on a bike ride, doing yard work. They’re so portable. The podcasting sector saw an almost unprecedented boom in reach this past decade, especially during the pandemic. One of the reasons for this is listeners' ability to multitask while getting to their daily news updates or true-crime deep dives. In fact, one study showed that 94% of podcast listeners tune in while doing other tasks, making it the perfect format for busy technology professionals to stay up-to-date on emerging trends, and a key reason TSIA has decided to launch a podcast of our own.

Our TECHtonic: Trends in Technology and Services podcast features conversations with TSIA’s research team on shifts in the ever-changing technology industry. In our ten part pilot series on the “have and have nots'' of the technology industry, we dive in to TSIA’s data vault to provide you with answers to the industry’s most pressing questions on how business models are being changed forever and what capabilities technology providers need to win market share and be positioned for success.

If you love insights from the TSIA research team but sometimes struggle to find time to read our reports, this is the podcast for you!
