5by5 was founded in 2009 by Dan Benjamin as a company to centralize, produce, and distribute the podcasts and Internet radio shows he and his co-hosts were creating. Dan had an early start in podcasting, experimenting with the medium for several years until launching his formal interview show, The Hivelogic Podcast, in early 2007.

￼Over the last four years, 5by5 has grown to become one of the largest independent content networks in the world. The network boasts 32 podcasts, hosted by some of the most influential and well respected individuals in tech, web, and geek culture. The shows attract an incredibly loyal following that account for the millions of downloads the network sees each month.

5by5’s broadcasts are some of the most popular around, appearing in the iTunes Music Store’s Featured, New & Noteworthy, and What’s Hot sections on a regular basis, as well as iTunes Rewind, an annual round-up of the best each year has to offer. Many of our shows, such as Build & Analyze, pictured above, have been Promoted Shows on the main iTunes Podcasts page along with several other of our highly rated shows.
