Dealhack Podcast Launches at Dealhack
 We've dropped a clue or two recently, but today we are officially announcing the launch of the Dealhack Podcast - A weekly conversation between the founders of Dealhack about finding the best deals on the hottest tech and consumer products.
Regular readers of the site know we are obsessed with finding great deals. We shop online a lot and as such, we've developed some serious skills and insight that we want to share. The podcast is a great format because we will be able to go much deeper on topics that don't necessarily fit into the day-to-day format of the site. Here are some of the rotating features we have planned:
- Market Report - a summary of sale and bargain merchandising trends occurring across the web.
- Dealhack Favorites - in-depth reviews of the very best tech and consumer products.
- Buyer's Guides - in depth discussions of specific shopping topics.
- Lightening Round - a quick rundown of great deals.
- Dealhack Deal of the Week - our pick for the best deal of the week.
We're also going to be featuring periodic interviews with tech and shopping experts. We've been working particularly hard on this feature and have lined up some great folks to talk with in the coming months.
We've dropped three episodes so far and plan to do one a week, roughly targeted for a Thursday release. Here are links with many different ways to access the podcast:
