5by5 is an american internet broadcasting network created by dan benjamin that creates , distributes , and broadcasts web video interviews and podcasts .

5by5 launched in january 2010 and has been called " npr for geeks " , as the broadcasts discuss technology and internet culture and are targeted towards developers , designers and technology enthusiasts .

5by5 studios

the official twitter account for 5by5 studios - broadcasts for designers , developers , entrepreneurs , geeks , and nerds .
and only today i realised that 5by5 studios is only in its second year , when dan mentioned at the starting of build and analyze episode 11 , that 5by5 studios just celebrated its first anniversary . there are already shows on the website’s list of shows for the network . granted , some of them were started before 5by5 studios even formed , and some of the shows no longer run , this is still pretty impressive to me , considering that 5by5 studios worked off a much much lower budget than twit ever did .

jeff is back from his honeymoon and he and christian are happy to welcome scott johnson from frogpant studios back to the show as well . they talk about blizzard ' s plans with hearthstone , titan , and more !
jeff and christian are joined by scott johnson from frogpants studios to discuss all of the news from the second half of press conferences at this year ' s e3 . ubisoft , the pc gaming show , and sony playstation !
i’ve put together a new broadcasting network where all of the shows i’m working on will live : 5 by 5 studios . it’s named after the old - school radio term five by five , which means “loud and clear . ”
instacast 2 . 0 ' s interesting pricing , rubymotion , seemingly impossible requirements in job postings , undercutting competitors on price , and why 5by5 probably shouldn ' t do a parenting show .
jeff and christian welcome scott johnson of frogpants studios , the podcaster and cartoonist responsible for the comic strip , extralife , to dlc this week . they start with a big week of news , including big name departures from sony and naughty dog , the ne
5by5 makes podcasts for geeks , designers , developers , gamers , entrepreneurs , and people like you , with shows hosted by people including dan benjamin , merlin mann , horace dediu , and jeffrey zeldman . read more…
some background : when i founded 5by5 studios last year , i had no idea if things would work out . i’m the sole supporter of my family , so going full - time with it was a big risk . but , thanks to listeners and hivelogic readers like you , the network is off to a great start . the idea that i get to wake up every morning and make these shows really is like living a dream for me . it’s what i’ve wanted to do my entire life .
and dan has climbed the mountain . 5by5 is his network and features shows such as the pipeline , the big web show and others , that collectively are downloaded 120 , 000 time per week ( yes , per week ) .
while nobody takes @ 5by5 at face value , occam’s razor applies . two years is a convenient cutoff point for either show . there’s been something of an arc , in both cases . it sounds like marco arment . . .
she posted to twitter earlier today : ( @ faitherina ) nerds / geeks , i ' m no longer producer at 5by5 but i will still host geek friday . the plan : new reboot episode next week . get ready !
no , you don ' t . to be clear , i know nothing about the specifics of any of the inner workings of 5by5 or the professional and personal relationships of anyone there . but your claim is sheer innuend . . .
readability ' s failed payment system , why instagram was worth so much to facebook , advertisers outbidding customers , the rumored taller - screen iphone and its effects on apps , wwdc , and dan ' s bold feature decisions in the upcoming 5by5 radio app .
john gruber left 5by5 for mule radio because of money , and / or potential money . and by potential money , i mean a stake in mrs . here ' s how i think it went down . many months ago dan started to talk a . . .
in this episode of the longest - running 5by5 show , dan and marco discuss textmate ( of course ) , business developer account migrations and duns numbers , the immense value of apple ' s retail stores , creating a brand before its apps , healthcare and taxes , and instapaper browser extensions .
of course all of the broadcasts we make at 5by5 will remain completely free , but if you enjoy the shows and if you want to help support me and the studio , now is your chance . become a member . it really will make a difference in my ability to pay bills and help the studio grow .
i’m really excited to announce that the 5by5 membership site has launched . if you enjoy the podcasts i produce , and if you’ve ever found any of my work here useful , now there’s a way for you to say thanks , get a cool t - shirt , and help me pay my bills at the same time .
the talk show is a two - person show by john gruber , arguably the most respected mac blogger in the whole mac - niverse because of his deep insights and knowledge of about the workings of apple , inc , and his close proximity to some of apple’s important employees , and dan benjamin , the founder of 5by5 studios . while dan benjamin was a nobody to me at the start , it become quite apparent that he was a great host that complements his co - hosts very well , making for an extremely entertaining show format where his co - hosts’ knowledge and opinions are communicated very well to the audience , while he adds his own opinions and questions in a very effective , show - entertainment enhancing sort of way . so for the last quarter of 2010 , it was the talk show for most of my podcast listening on priority over everything else , including macbreak weekly .
dan and marco discuss the new 5by5 radio app , why apple may not want to add paid upgrades to the app store , the infinite market for podcast clients and to - do apps , instacast ' s in - app - purchase backlash , how and why to remove features from an app , the new 15
macbook pro rumors , thunderbolt ' s likely overshadowing by usb 3 , and near - future concerns for a retina laptop .
as a fan of jeff and christian already from the great weekend confirmed podcast with garnet lee , i’m probably already inclined to enjoy this show and found their banter and discussion immediately familiar . that said , i think anyone with an interest in games ( video , board , etc ) and related technology will also find their knowledge and demeanor immediately fun and accessible . 5by5 has done it again with a great show , really looking forward adding this one into my podcast rotation .
jeff and christian welcome kyle fergusson from into the nexus to the show this week to discuss overwatch ' s crazy numbers , nintendo ' s new 2ds xl , the call of duty wwii trailer , forza horizon 3 ' s new hot wheels dlc , and more ! 00 : 29 : 00 - the playlist : heroes of the storm 2 . 0 , mario kart 8 deluxe , outlast 2 , player unknown ' s battlegrounds , what remains of edith finch ? mlb the show 17 , mass effect andromeda , dark souls 01 : 26 : 20 - vr talk : batman arkham vr , wilson ' s heart , symphony of the machine 01 : 34 : 49 - big question ! 01 : 54 : 18 - parting gifts ! 01 : 58 : 42 - bonus content : jeff interviews raphael colantonio from arkane studios about prey
no , you don ' t . to be clear , i know nothing about the specifics of any of the inner workings of 5by5 or the professional and personal relationships of anyone there . but your claim is sheer innuendo . lack of response to baseless speculation is not confirmation . it could just be a refusal to be baited by jerks . there are all kinds of reasons why employer / employee relationships fall apart or change . assuming that something suspect must be happening when young women employees and male bosses are in conflict might seem enlightened and sensitive , but actually disrespects women ' s and men ' s professionalism , and has the perverse effect of making it riskier for men to hire awesome , well - qualified women , or interact with them on the same professional footing that they would with male employees . that seems to be the case with this question . to satisfy your prurient mind , would dan have to avoid hiring otherwise qualified women , or avoid bantering with them as he does with men he works with ? i agree that professional boundaries are important , and that it ' s important to be conscious of their maintenance . that should and may well be happening openly in the workplace , but out of your and my view . but it ' s also true that in many industries , certainly including the indie tech world and new media , informal networking and socializing are an important part of the job , and are also critical to personal professional development and career advancement . cutting off women from those spheres through innuendo just serves to construct a new version of the ' old boys ' network . ' it is challenging enough to be a young woman in tech without creating ugly rumors for them and their employers to deal with .
