Every Wednesday and Friday, The Verge <\/em>publishes our flagship podcast, The Vergecast<\/em><\/a>, where our editors make sense of the week\u2019s most important technology news. On Wednesdays, editor-at-large David Pierce leads a selection of The Verge<\/em>\u2019s expert staffers in an exploration of how gadgets and software affect our lives \u2014 and which ones you should bring into your home.<\/p>\n

This week, David taps into The Verge\u2019s<\/em> reviews team to explore where we\u2019re headed with smart home gadgets, wearables, and midrange phones.<\/p>\n

At the top of the show, Verge <\/em>smart home reviewer Jennifer Pattison Tuohy returns to discuss Amazon\u2019s acquisition of iRobot<\/a>, maker of the ever-popular Roomba robot vacuum. What does Amazon want with Roomba<\/a>? Jennifer explains. <\/p>\n

Later in the show, Verge<\/em> wearable tech reviewer Victoria Song joins David to explore the fascinating world of non-watch wearables: rings<\/a>, earbuds, sports bras, and sleep trackers<\/a>. Afterward, we hear from Whoop<\/a> CEO Will Ahmed about his approach to wearable technology. <\/p>\n

In the final segment, Verge<\/em> mobile reviewer Allison Johnson and David get together to discuss their ideal version of a midrange smartphone and what the best tradeoffs<\/a> are for the price.<\/p>\n

You can listen to the full show here or in your preferred podcast player. We have lots of ideas about how to do this show, and we\u2019re going to do a lot of experimenting with it, so we hope you\u2019ll tell us what you like and don\u2019t like. Either way, we\u2019ll see you again on Friday!<\/p>\n
