“I really wanted to like this podcast, because the topics are so important. But it's like the thing is hosted by a bunch of 12-yr-olds. It's a bunch of kids excitedly chattering about the coolest thing they just heard on the news. I just can't.
The search for insightful tech...”Read full review »

“My husband listens to your podcast all the time and I’m usually interested in most episodes. I’ve noticed that one of you always whispers at the end of your sentences… Nilay, maybe? You taper off the volume at the end of your sentences. It’s pretty annoying and your listeners are probably only...”Read full review »

“Gone are the stories about tech, replaced instead by navel-gazing and political hot-takes. It is really too bad. The website has gone downhill, too, and no longer worth a bookmark. So long, folks!”

“Recently featured another podcast, called power user, sounded interesting, and within a minute of the interview of asking, whether or not TikTok was being banned or if it was this type of forced sale, these are admits, complete ignorance, and then takes a position of a ban. IANAL disclaimer does...”Read full review »

“The main crew and cast is the main reason I am a weekly listener. Technology being analyzed through the lens of how it affects our emotions and culture is fascinating to me, and the Nilay/David/Alex trifecta never ceases to entertain.
That being said, good freaking lord the Arc episode was...”Read full review »

For example, there have been several times where a host has misidentified the ownership of the...”Read full review »

“It has become so negative on big tech. Apple is not a monopoly. You can buy Android/Windows devices. If The Verge wants to help us do something about the internet service provider monopoly. I also agree with a few other reviews: Alex Kranz is a dumpster fire.”

“Love the show, but David and Nilay need someone better than Alex on the show. They almost always disagree and at times you can tell Nilay and David don't want to take the time to debate with her or have to respond to something she said from left field. Miss Dieter!”Read full review »

“Listened for years and think it’s brilliant but lately the conversations are very repetitive. Feels like everyone has to make the same point 3 times before the conversation progresses. Overall still worth it for the excellent tech insight and commentary which is hard to beat anywhere else.”

“I would more than happily pay for a version of the show with just Nilay and Cranz hosting. David Pierce spends too much time talking over people to only occasionally provide anything funny or useful to the conversation. God what I would give to go back to when Dieter was on the show.”
