5by5 Studios

5by5 Studios (also known as 5by5) is an internet broadcasting network founded in 2009 by Dan Benjamin in Austin, Texas. It produces, distributes, and hosts audio podcasts and, historically, video broadcasts covering technology, internet culture, productivity, design, gaming, and creative work. The network was created to centralize production for shows created by Benjamin and his co-hosts.

Notable current and past shows include Back to Work, Road Work, DLC, Hypercritical, Podcast Method, 5by5 at the Movies, The Big Web Show, The Talk Show, The Critical Path, and Puromac, featuring hosts such as Dan Benjamin, John Gruber, Merlin Mann, and Jeffrey Zeldman. Benjamin personally records and edits most broadcasts at his own studio, using dedicated audio hardware and software for multitrack recording and live streaming, and previously offered dedicated iOS apps for streaming the network's live audio.

5by5 serves an audience of technology professionals, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, and creative workers seeking long-form talk shows and interviews on technology, business, and culture topics. The network has been described as "NPR for geeks" due to its focus on in-depth conversations for the tech and internet culture community. Over more than a decade, 5by5 has maintained a rotating roster of shows, with some concluding over time while new ones have launched.
