The Vergecast, is The Verge’s flagship podcast, which covers a wide range of topics including the latest news in the world of tech, and what the Big Techs are currently doing and looking up to.
Hosted by Nilay Patel, David Pierce, and Alex Cranz, with a new episode posted every two or three days, with some episodes featuring experts or guest speakers.
The discussions are usually detailed— a bit long side — but timely. The hosts strive to address the most important technology news simply: From covering evolving gadgets and software that will impact our lives, and how to integrate them safely and wisely into our daily routines.
Handheld gaming in the Future — again, is a recent episode from Vergecast where Pierce welcomes two guests from Polygon hashing out the comeback of the handheld gaming consoles and the reasons behind it. Touching on the nostalgic aspect and how Asus, Ayaneo, Lenovo, among others, are carving their own paths with dedicated handheld systems.
Their throwback to the 90s console heyday had us teary-eyed, and will probably have us moving to the nearest retailer to get our hands on one of the new consoles.
NOTE- Some episodes border on the hyper-opinionated, but nonetheless, an intriguing listen.
WHERE TO LISTEN – Vergecast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify.
