Reply All was a great podcast. It ran on Gimlet back when Gimlet was a thing, both before and after Spotify comically overpaid for it. Reply All ended ignominiously, but it had some amazing episodes, including one that I consider to be the best episode of any…
This week we talk about Apple’s new devices and absolutely no Apple blogger drama whatsoever. Apple announced its new HomeView device, a new HomePod mini, a new Apple TV 4K and home accessories made by LG. Lex explains why X is still bad. And then again why…
There’s money to be made in podcasting. It’s getting harder, though — at least for some podcasters. But while you may listen to podcasts, you might not be as familiar with the business side of podcasting. I am. On the October 9 episode of Freakonomics Radio…
Jason Snell: The problem is that fair use on the internet has been stifled by content-detection algorithms that don’t care about your fair use. It just notices that you used something that belongs to someone else. Spotify is content to break and decentralize…
Credit cards, dryers, and, if we have time, the two Apple events expected this month. Mark Gurman says there will be two October events. Lex thinks Apple should be more forthcoming with information about the iPhone 18 Max problems on AT&T. Lex also…

Like many of you, I suspect, I got into podcasting through nerdery. I was a nerd. I am a nerd. I created a podcast, and I listened to nerdy podcasts. Many of us in the Apple/tech community still listen almost exclusively to nerdy podcasts. That’s okay. But…
Lex talks about his iPhone purchase experience, Dan has Duo expectations and Moltz volunteers at the Apple Store. When Dan’s original iPhone died within 24 hours of getting it, he had to get creative. Boox has announced the Palma 3. We recommend Athletic and…
We give our keynote reactions, Dan makes tentative plans and Moltz and Lex need to get their hearing checked. Verizon’s chatbot is not a very good Apple rumors site. Dan says don’t call the iPhone Duo an iPad.
It’s the year of Lex on the desktop, mobile and everywhere else. Lex on Tech is a new tech blog by Lex Friedman, maker of Lex.Games and other things with “Lex” in the name. Tim Cook and John Ternus both sent memos to Apple employees if you’re having trouble…
