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.

One of the worst recent episodes was a 1 on 1 with a host and some A.I. bro. Host was uninformed and just repeating back whatever guest said. Felt like a sponsored episode. Nilay is by far the worst. Lame rich kid who surrounded himself with sycophant nerds.

They are great for taking tech, however, they are VERY liberal. Love the segments with no politics, but are very biased when it comes to politics.

Really look forward to gadget talk and tech info. They do it well. But at times political rants when talking about news seem to spiral, making it hard to maintain interest .
