Weekend Listening - iCar, Snapchat, reaching millennials on apps

VENICE BEACH, Calif. - We've been busy making audio tech podcasts for your weekend listening pleasure.

Sit back and listen to our latest Paste BN tech podcasts, which, by the way, are now available for downloading on iTunes and streaming on SoundCloud. Or just click the links below to listen in.

Each week I visit the TuneIn.com studios here for the #TalkingTech tech roundtable show. Our guests this week include Zita Cassizzi, the chief digital officer for Toms, photographer Stephan Cooper, Dropoff co-founder Ted Hong, Ziprecruiter CMO Allan Jones and investor Erik Rannala. We weigh in on Apple's reported plans to build an electric iCar--would consumers respond? We also look at Sony's announcement that it might exit the TV business, and those new FAA proposed regulations for drones.

In our San Francisco bureau, Laura Mandaro conducts the weekly tech team podcast as well, featuring bureau chief Jon Swartz and columnist John Shinal. They weigh in on Yahoo big mobile developer conference and that wild $19 billion valuation for Snapchat.

Meanwhile, more from the Tunein sessions:

We all know how important it is for brands to focus on Facebook and Twitter to keep the conversation going with consumers. Cassizzi talks about how to reach millennials, on Instagram.

Hong tells how he's taking on Federal Express and Amazon with same-day delivery via his Dropoff start-up. It's only available currently in Austin and Houston, but he plans to expand nationally soon.

Finally, meet Allan Jones from Ziprecruiter. He talks about the service, a one-stop shop for companies to reach out to prospective hires, and offers his take on the lack of diversity in the tech industry--as seen through his Los Angeles glasses.

Happy listening everyone!
