Apple OS betas, how to talk about AI, and our video game picks

The Vergecast is the flagship podcast from The Verge about small gadgets, Big Tech, and everything in between. Every Friday, hosts Nilay Patel, David Pierce, and Alex Cranz hang out and make sense of the week’s most important technology news. And every Wednesday, David leads a selection of The Verge’s expert staffers in an exploration of how gadgets and software affect our lives – and which ones you should bring into yours.

Just discovered this podcast and was pleasantly surprised! Especially by the round table discussions.

I’ve only listened to one complete interview so far (Slack CEO) and overall thought the questions could’ve been better. For example, why repeatedly ask about catering to casual *for fun* users when he’s already given a decisive no? Weak questions led to muddled conversation and getting caught on trivialities a few times, but it was still a fairly interesting listen. 

Sharpening up the interview skills would make this a five star podcast for me. Will keep listening!

Enjoying!

Always joy to listen to. Fun and informative. 
Cheers!!!

The best podcast!!
