Uncanny Valley | WIRED

Interesting topics generally but way way too much focus on politics and specifically the President. I don’t want to name him because he does not deserve any additional mention online. Can we get more episodes about the goings on and inner workings in SV? Also, it wouldn’t hurt to have a gadget related show every now and then.

These stories are topical, thorough, digestible, and insightful. UV offers deep reporting on breaking news balanced with interesting insights into the tech industry + its actors. All of this is underpinned by well calibrated explanations of underlying tech concepts and historical background. I always take something new away from a UV episode :) The best part of the show is how sneaky funny it is. The banter between the hosts often makes me laugh out loud on my walk to work… it’s just fun to listen to smart friends talk. On a personal note: As a WiT who’s trying to be more politically active, I feel lucky to be able to hear current events reporting from the UV team. It’s a scary (often dystopian) world out there right now in both politics and tech. I’m an anxious person and it can difficult to keep informed + activated without doom spiralling… but this podcast makes it infinitely more tolerable :) thank you, please keep up the great work!!

love uncanny valley! wired journalists are doing such critical original reporting right now, and this podcast is such a perfect balance of engaging and instructive while also being entirely digestible and a pleasure to listen to. it must be the personalities of the hosts, but somehow they share the dark, dire messages of the moment in a way that leave me informed but not utterly hopeless. thanks, UV!

I’m really enjoying this podcast. Full disclosure I’ve been a fan of wired since the very beginning. I like the balance of it being smart and human. The people on the show are interesting and accessible. Please keep it that way and not go over the top if you feel the urge. Keep up the good work!
