Some news: The Vergecast is now a daily podcast! Starting today, we’ll be posting every weekday, with even more gadgets and rankings and conversations and feelings and podcasts-within-podcasts. We’re excited for all the ways this new schedule lets us tell new kinds of stories, experiment with new tech and new formats, and involve you even more in the show.
(The other immediate change to know about: We’ll be publishing the show in the afternoons going forward, so we can include the day’s biggest news in our 90 Seconds on The Verge segment. The goal is to always be live before 4PM ET. Often well before.)
As we’ve been preparing for our new daily schedule, we’ve discovered that posting daily is… a lot of posting. So we sought some advice from a legend of the genre. Casey Neistat posted a video on his YouTube channel for more than 800 days in a row, starting in 2015, and learned a lot along the way. He understands YouTube, and the current creator ecosystem, as well as anyone, so we asked him to share all his thoughts and tips for how to post every day without losing your mind or running out of ideas. (Here’s the video he said took him nine months to get done.)
In addition to the new episodes, we also have new merch! We’ve been working on some cool shirts, mugs, and other stuff for all our shows — if you want to rep Decoder, Version History, or The Vergecast, or you’re just very eager to remind everyone how you feel about Brendan Carr, head to The Verge Shop now. And keep that page bookmarked, because we have a lot of cool stuff coming.
If you have thoughts, feedback, or ideas about how we can make this new iteration of The Vergecast even better, we’d love to hear them! Call The Vergecast Hotline at 866-VERGE11 and tell us everything, or send us an email at vergecast@theverge.com. We’re going to do another one of these tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and we’re excited to get to do it with you.
