We've had some Renaissance men and women on the show before, but I'm not sure if anyone can outdo James Maguire, the Executive Director of TechVoices. 

He's a composer and pianist who has recorded an album of original songs. He's the writer of non-fiction books on American culture. He's currently working on a novel. And he's still found time to put together a 20-year run as a tech journalist, including the past 15 months with TechVoices, the site he founded in March 2025.

James joined us to talk about his plans for TechVoices, his thoughts on how to fund journalism, and his life as a self-described creative dreamer for this episode of Pressing Matters from Big Valley Marketing, the podcast that brings you conversations with the top media and influencers in B2B tech. 

I'm Dave Reddy, Head of Big Valley Marketing's Media & Influencers practice, and I'm your host. Through research and good old-fashioned relationship building, we've identified B2B tech's top 200 media and influencers, including James. 

Here's our chat with James. Enjoy.
