With so many new podcasts and conference talk recordings published across hundreds of channels every week, it’s hard to keep up.
Unless you enjoy scrolling through messy YouTube subscriptions or RSS feeds, you probably miss out on most of them.
I started Tech Talks Weekly to solve this problem.
Tech Talks Weekly (TTW) is a non-AI free a weekly email that brings all conference talk recordings and podcast episodes published in the past 7 days from nearly every software engineering conference and podcast publisher. Inspired by TLDR.
Each issue includes:
🏆 Featured this week highlighting the must-watch talks and podcasts of the week you can’t miss. It includes a short human-written summary which Tech Talks Weekly readers love as it saves time!
📈 The Most Watched This Week containing the most-watched talks in the past 7 days. This way, you’ll instantly know what the community is or will soon be talking about. Summary is also included!
📆 New talks including the complete list of all the talks that have been published in the past week. These are grouped by conference and ordered by view count.
📆 New podcasts including the complete list of all the podcast episodes that have been published in the past week.
The goal is to ensure every time TTW readers open a new issue, they can quickly find at least one talk they genuinely enjoy and can recommend to others, so they never miss out.

Besides the standard weekly edition, I periodically publish tech talk compilations. Not all of these are visible for non-subscribers, though.
“talk summaries are brilliant.”
“Your newsletter saves me so much time!”
“most watched 2024 talks was an excellent compilation. keep it up!”
“Keep up the good work! thanks for putting this newsletter together!”
“The featured talks of the week section together with summaires alone are worth subscribing for.”
“As an EM, I use Tech Talks Weekly to find videos worth sharing with my team. The summaries help me decide quickly what’s worth watching.”
“Using YouTube to discover great talks is pointless and TTW saves me hours every week. Now, I get a neat summary of the best engineering talks right in my inbox.”
“basically a smarter version of youtube subscriptions for devs”
