Dan Benjamin is a podcaster, software developer, and writer. In early 2009, Dan became a full-time podcaster with the launch of 5by5.tv, often called "NPR for Geeks" by its listeners. 5by5 quickly rose to become one of the top tech-focused pocast networks, drawing talent from all corners of the tech, gaming, productivity, and
entertainment industries. Dan's podcasts have gone on to receive many millions of downloads, and have received several "Best of" awards from Apple Podcasts and other publications, and in 2001, Dan was named "The King of Apple Talk Radio" by Fortune Magazine. In 2016, in anticipation of the impending podcast boom and based on his many years of running a self-built podcast platform, Dan launched Fireside.fm, the podcast hosting, anylitics, and distribution platform. Fireside has since grown to become one of the most widely used and trusted podcast platforms of its kind in the industry today.
