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 Fridays, Verge<\/em> editor-in-chief Nilay Patel, editor-at-large David Pierce, and managing editor Alex Cranz discuss the week in tech news with the reporters and editors covering the biggest stories.<\/p>\n

On today\u2019s episode, the crew discusses the Android 13 update, the battle between the vertical video apps, and a lightning round of tech news. <\/p>\n

Android 13 is here, and newer Pixel phones are able to upgrade to it (my Pixel 3A did not make the cut). The Vergecast<\/em> discusses why this is Android\u2019s \u201cSnow Leopard<\/a>\u201d release, how it affects the greater Android phone world, and whether an update like this will convince iOS users to switch. <\/p>\n

Later in the show, the topic shifts to social video apps. Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts are all trying to shame you<\/a> or prevent you<\/a> from posting your content made in other video apps. The crew discusses creation tools and distribution being tied or locked together and how people may react to this increasing limitation. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a whole lot more discussed in the show \u2014 like a fake exhaust sound from an electric vehicle<\/a> or weird computer monitors<\/a> \u2014 so listen here or in your preferred podcast player for the full discussion. <\/p>\n
