A field guide

Getting into Dell podcasts

Podcast coverage of Dell tends to arrive through a particular machine, a shift in workplace computing, or an enterprise event. There is no sprawling narrative to follow and no single show that owns the subject. The useful choice is one of scale: laptops, workstations, cloud PCs, high-performance computing, or the experience of working inside the business.

Coverage is fairly thin. The episodes that put Dell front and centre are focused, though, and they offer several distinct ways in.

Start with the hardware

For a conventional product discussion, This Week in Computer Hardware (Audio) is the clearest stop. Dell XPS 13 9300 & a 6-Core CPU for $85 - Dell XPS 13 9300, AMD's stock, & ThinkPad T490S places the XPS in a packed hardware roundup rather than isolating it for a company profile. That makes the episode a sensible way to hear comparisons alongside the surrounding PC context.

Reshaping Workflows with Dell Pro Precision and NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs narrows the frame to professional machines. Beyond Entry: Dell Tower T2's Game-Changing Upgrades promises a close look at one tower and the upgrades that distinguish it from entry-level hardware. The rest of the show’s episode lineup leans toward manufacturing, rendering, game creation, AI, and accelerated computing, so the Dell conversation sits in a workflow-oriented setting. Choose this over the XPS episode when the question is what a machine enables at work rather than how it fits into the wider consumer-PC field.

The cloud-PC conversation, two ways

The audio and video editions of Windows Weekly cover the same device announcement, but their presentation gives listeners a real format choice.

Windows Weekly (Audio) brings its dry, measured two-host rhythm to WW 973: Bob's Rumor Store - ASUS & Dell Unveil Windows 365 Cloud PC Devices. The show’s habit is to combine technical fluency with long institutional memory, testing new Windows ideas against years of watching Microsoft and PC manufacturers. Its skepticism is conversational, and uncertainty is often worked through aloud.

Windows Weekly (Video) lists the discussion as Bob's Rumor Store - ASUS & Dell Unveil Windows 365 Cloud PC Devices. Here the familiar-panel energy matters more: quick interruptions, hardware recollections, jokes, and explanatory detours are part of the experience. Pick the audio edition for a slightly more measured listen; pick the video edition if you enjoy seeing a tech panel think by association.

Either version is a better entry point for Dell as part of a broader Windows strategy than for a detailed tour of Dell’s product range. The headline is shared with ASUS, and the central object is the Windows 365 Cloud PC device.

From one engineer to an HPC gathering

Learn From Others offers the most person-centred route. 132: IT Senior Engineer - Santana Lamb is a Senior Engineer for Dell EMC puts an individual role in the foreground. It is the on-ramp for listeners more interested in a career conversation than in a product announcement or benchmark discussion.

At the other end of the scale, This Week in HPC situates Dell within an industry gathering. Episode 346: HPCwire and Intersect360 Research Wrap up SC21 at the Dell HPC Community Meeting is explicitly a conference wrap-up and community-meeting episode. The emphasis suggested by the title is collective and event-driven: HPCwire, Intersect360 Research, SC21, and the Dell HPC community all share the frame.

These two episodes are useful companions because they approach the organization from opposite distances. One begins with a senior engineer. The other begins with a professional community assembled around high-performance computing.

What the coverage leaves out

Most Dell references on podcasts are passing mentions inside wider conversations about PCs, Windows, chips, AI, or enterprise technology. The episodes above are the exceptions because Dell appears in the title and shapes the stated topic.

Even here, the treatment is usually attached to something concrete: an XPS laptop, a Tower T2, cloud-PC devices, an engineering role, or an HPC meeting. Listeners looking for an extended company history or a sustained business analysis will find fewer options. What works well is targeted listening around a particular part of the technology landscape.

Where to start

For consumer hardware, begin with This Week in Computer Hardware (Audio) and Dell XPS 13 9300 & a 6-Core CPU for $85 - Dell XPS 13 9300, AMD's stock, & ThinkPad T490S.

For professional systems, use Reshaping Workflows with Dell Pro Precision and NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs and Beyond Entry: Dell Tower T2's Game-Changing Upgrades.

For Dell in the Windows ecosystem, choose either edition of Windows Weekly and its episode on ASUS and Dell’s Windows 365 Cloud PC devices.

For the enterprise-community angle, go to This Week in HPC and Episode 346: HPCwire and Intersect360 Research Wrap up SC21 at the Dell HPC Community Meeting.
