What It Is

All Things TechIE is an Ireland-based technology and Audio Visual (AV) industry podcast site hosted by Justin Dawson and operated under XTS - Xtreme Technology Solutions. It is not a traditional SaaS product or utility-style website, but rather a content media and podcast brand. Through audio episodes, YouTube video shows, and trade show coverage, it delivers industry commentary for tech enthusiasts and AV professionals.

Core Features

The site offers an archive of more than 100 audio podcast episodes, organized by episode ranges such as 81-90, 91-100, 100-110, 111-120, and 121-130. It also has a video show section that directs users to subscribe and watch on YouTube. Topics include AV hardware and software, consumer electronics, AI, gaming, tech product reviews, and expert interviews. One of its more distinctive features is trade show coverage, including international AV and technology events such as ISE, InfoComm, IBC, and CES. It also runs AV GroupIE, a network aimed at AV professionals in Ireland.

Pricing

The main site does not show any paid subscription or membership pricing, and the shows appear to be primarily free to listen to and watch. The presence of pages such as Advertise, Collaborations, and Request our Media Kit suggests that its monetization is more focused on advertising, sponsorships, media partnerships, and industry exposure rather than charging regular listeners.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its vertical positioning and focus on the intersection of AV and technology, making it more specialized than general tech podcasts. It has been operating continuously since 2018 and has built up a substantial content archive. The combination of audio, video, and trade show reporting makes it useful for following industry developments. The host’s AV professional background also adds credibility.

The downsides are that the crawled site content shows a fair amount of page repetition, the navigation hierarchy is somewhat complex, and the search and reading experience is not especially polished. The content is mainly English-language audio and video, which is not very friendly for Chinese users. There is also no obvious full transcript archive, structured tagging, advertising rate card, or examples of past collaborations, so transparency for commercial partnerships is limited.

Who It’s For

All Things TechIE is suitable for people involved in AV system integration, conferencing and display equipment, professional audio/video, tech media, trade show observation, and users who want to understand technology voices from Europe and Ireland. Brands looking to reach a vertical AV audience may also consider its advertising opportunities.

Access from China

The website itself is likely accessible directly, but its core video content depends on YouTube, and podcast distribution may also involve overseas platforms. As a result, the experience from mainland China is “partially restricted.” Browsing the official website should generally be fine, but watching videos or subscribing through external podcast platforms may require a proxy.
