Starting today, The Vergecast is changing its rhythm. The show says it will be posted every weekday, with “even more gadgets and rankings and conversations and feelings and podcasts-within-podcasts.”
The move isn’t just a longer calendar. It’s also a new publishing habit: the show will go up in the afternoons going forward so it can fold in “the day’s biggest news” in its “90 Seconds on The Verge” segment. The stated goal is to always be live before 4PM ET—often well before.
That shift comes with a problem the creators openly admit: “posting daily is… a lot of posting.” With the show preparing for the new schedule. they sought advice from “a legend of the genre.” The guidance they turned to came from Casey Neistat. who posted a video on YouTube for more than 800 days in a row. starting in 2015. Neistat’s role. as described here. is tied to understanding YouTube and the creator ecosystem. and the show asked him to share thoughts and tips for how to post every day without “losing your mind or running out of ideas.” They also point readers to the video Neistat said took him nine months to get done.
The weekday daily cadence is paired with other immediate changes on the same day. The show announces new merch. including “cool shirts. mugs. and other stuff” for the shows—Decoder. Version History. and The Vergecast. It also nods to “The Verge Shop” and urges viewers to bookmark the page because more items are coming.
For anyone who wants to steer what happens next. the show offers a direct channel: call The Vergecast Hotline at 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com. The message ends with a simple promise—another episode “tomorrow. and the next day. and the next day”—and the creators say they’re excited to build this new daily iteration with listeners.

So they’re going live before 4PM now? good luck with that, like people are just sitting around waiting lol.
Calling Casey Neistat a “legend” but isn’t he the one who kinda disappeared for a while? Also the “podcasts-within-podcasts” thing sounds like they’re just trying to stretch content.
Wait I thought The Vergecast was already daily. Maybe I’m mixing it up with Decoder or something. Also merch AND posting advice?? Isn’t that how creators burn out like instantly.
The hotline number is weirdly specific like 866-VERGE11… is that even real or some promo thing? And “pulling posting advice” from YouTube sounds like they’re copying the algorithm instead of doing actual news. But hey cool shirts I guess.
