We’re always thankful when smart people share their area of expertise with us and the audience!
We review every submission. Whether it airs depends on the topic, the recording or writing quality, and how many submissions we receive. Written contributions and short audio clips may air during the show, where the hosts can discuss them. Longer commentary will usually appear in the highlighted segment after the show.

Recorded Patreon intros
Share one fun thought, then end with a call to action: dailytechnewsshow.com/support.
Duration: 10 seconds or less.
Words to try: participate, contribute, be part of.
Voicemails for the show
Focus on one point that has not already been covered on the show. A short, clear contribution is more likely to air. You can write it out first and read it when you record.
Duration: 30 seconds or less.
Post-show segments
Report on one specific item of interest. General comments usually work better as short voicemails. You can write your segment in advance and read it when recording. Double-check your facts and include source links in your email for major or potentially controversial claims.
Duration: 1 minute or less.
Music: We prefer no music. If you include an intro, use royalty-free music you have permission to use and keep it to five seconds or less.
Recording tips and file format
Speak close to your microphone or phone, and avoid popping your “P” sounds. Avoid very loud or sharp noises, copyrighted clips you do not have permission to use, and material that could unintentionally offend others.
For MP3 uploads: Use mono audio, a 44.1 kHz sample rate, and variable bitrate (VBR) encoding. These export settings apply to files you record yourself; you can also use the voice recorder above.
