The Vergecast

I’ve been listening to The Vergecast since it began. I’ve enjoyed the show throughout all its iterations. The current era is no exception. I think it combines journalism and tech in a way few podcasts do well, as lots of consumer tech podcasts are primarily fanboy podcasts. I do have some minor complains. One, I don’t like having multiple shows a week. The Friday show is great. Two, I wish there was more of a focus on serious original journalism. This may be more of a problem with the website than the podcast, but in general I feel like there has been a decline in quality in favor of quantity. Keep it up, though. This is a great podcast, and I will be listening for years to come, I expect.

Longtime listener. Great episodes every time. Love the mix of reporting, analysis, opinion, and chisme. Could use less breathless coverage of AI, because not everything is AI, but nonetheless a five star podcast.

@David I hope you’ll submit the “they’re called podcasts“ episode for a webby. Keep up the great work team.

The Vergecast used to be a GREAT show with well informed hosts giving takes on tech and culture in an easily digestible medium. Now for some reason we have to listen to David’s insufferable and irrelevant voice memo monologue and Alex confidently giving opinions on things she clearly has never reviewed. It’s like Deter, Paul, and a few other smart people left and Nilay is making do with whoever he can find until he finds his exit from Vox. Please spin the Friday show into it’s own feed.
