Tech columnist and

podcaster working with

international thought leaders & businesses.

 

My story began with a daily two-hour commute to the office learning from Gary Vaynerchuk’s written, audio, and video content. But my journey came full circle when I got to thank the man who inspired me to follow my dream. We went on to record podcasts at tech conferences in Armenia and Las Vegas.

Gary Vaynerchuk - Tech Blog Writer Podcast

My name is Neil C. Hughes, a UK-based technology writer, podcast host, and founder of the Tech Talks Network. Many people first knew me as “The Tech Blog Writer,” a name that has followed me since the early days of my career.

While I’m grateful for the origins, my work today reflects something much larger: a decade spent documenting how technology changes business, work, and society, through first-hand conversations with the people building it.

I have written 2,500+ articles across platforms such as Cybernews, TNW, Inc., and many other publications.

My tech podcasts have surpassed 7 million downloads and reached listeners in 165 countries. According to Listen Notes, it ranks in the top 1% of podcasts globally, out of more than 5 million active shows.

In 2025 alone, Tech Talks Daily released more than 400 interviews, generating over 2.2 million downloads.

Please come and check out my nine tech podcasts on the Tech Talks Network where real conversations about technology meet the people making the decisions that shape business, policy, and culture.

As a LinkedIn Top Voice, I currently have 22,200 followers and more than 11,000 LinkedIn newsletter subscribers with engagement driven by discussion rather than vanity metrics.

Whether you need event coverage, podcast hosting, editorial writing, or sponsored media placements, I work with a small number of partners at a time to protect quality, trust, and transparency.
