As Trump touches down in the UK, Elon Musk provokes a riot in Westminister and Kier Starmer's government is set to recognise Palestinian Statehood. Last week, Israel attacked Hamas leaders in Qatar. Did they hit them? Did they miss? Did Mossad advise against the IDF's plan? There's a lot of Disorder out there. To discuss these issues as well as: his recent family vacation road trip across France, the politics of theme parks, how AI will transform advertising, and how Trump actually exudes a unique form of charisma  in person, Jason is joined by a new Mega Ordererer, Mark Lobel -- a BBC journalist and TV anchor with two decades experience covering business, technology, the Middle East, and more.  In their free-flowing conversation, they discuss the implications of Trump's upcoming UK visit, Israel's risky move in Qatar, how AI will completely change political communication, and the debt crisis in France.

This is Hank Green, the cofounder of Complexly. I'm back for my second guest hosting spot here on Decoder while Nilay is out on parental leave. Today, I'm talking with Digitas CEO Amy Lanzi, who runs a major marketing and ad agency. You might remember Amy; Nilay interviewed her for Decoder live at an event in New York City almost a year ago. But Nilay, who runs what might be the last website on Earth, has a very different perspective on the world of digital marketing than I do. So as a career YouTuber, I had a lot of questions for someone in a position like Amy's.  Links:  Digitas unveils new generative AI platform, Digitas AI |  Digitas Amy Lanzi on steering Digitas through the demands of modern marketing | Sightly Introducing Reddit Community Intelligence | Reddit Digitas North America announces Amy Lanzi as CEO | Digitas Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

One thing you should know about the iPhone launch is that there's... not usually a lot of other tech news around the iPhone launch. So David and Jake start this episode with some more information about the iPhone launch, including some controversial details we missed about the AirPods Pro 3 and the argument in favor of the crossbody strap. After that, with David back on the mic, it's time for a round of AI-focused hot takes with The Verge's Hayden Field. The gang talks ChatGPT, Claude, money, more money, and what counts as a real friend. (And money.) Finally, in the lightning round — yes, once again the LIGHTNING ROUND — the three co-hosts talk about Canon's confusing new camera, the future of Reddit, Claude's spreadsheet-y future, and much more.

This is Alex Heath. For my final episode as your Thursday episode guest host, I recently sat down with Bret Taylor, the CEO of AI startup Sierra and the chairman of OpenAI, for a live event in San Francisco hosted by Alix Partners.  Bret has worked at Google, Facebook, and Salesforce in high-level, executive roles, and he led Twitter's board during Elon Musk's takeover, so very few people have seen the tech industry up close like Bret has. Now, he's all in on AI. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, and I hope you find Bret's perspective as fascinating as I did.

Current and former tech workers with the No Azure for Apartheid coalition continue to disrupt business as usual at Microsoft's global headquarters in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide, and in protest of Microsoft's contracts with the Israeli military to provide tech that Israel uses to surveil, kill, and retroactively justify the killing of Palestinians. In this episode of Working People, which is a critical follow-up to our last episode, we speak with a panel of five tech workers and No Azure for Apartheid coalition members who have all been fired by Microsoft in the past year in response to their protest actions: Anna Hattle, Joe Lopez, Hossam Nasr, Nisreen Jaradat, and Riki. Even after losing their jobs, however, these workers have vowed not to stop organizing and protesting until Microsoft meets their demands to “fully and perpetually divests from Israel's economy of occupation, apartheid, and genocide.”   Additional links/info: No Azure for Apartheid Instagram and Linktree Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘Microsoft is an active partner in the genocide!': Inside the tech worker revolt for Palestine” Maximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network, “Cops violently dismantle Palestine encampment at Microsoft HQ, arrest protestors” Tom Warren, The Verge, “Microsoft locks down a building after protesters get inside president's office” Microsoft: Brad Smith press conference on Aug. 26, 2025 Harry Davies & Yuval Abraham, The Guardian, “‘A million calls an hour': Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians” Featured Music: Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme Song Credits: Audio Post-Production: Jules Taylor

'The Hank McCune Show' - an otherwise unremarkable footnote in American TV history - became the first single-camera sitcom to deploy a pre-recorded laugh track (aka ‘canned laughter') on 9th September, 1950. The giggles and applause came courtesy of Charlie Douglass, who made a career of capturing audience reaction in his ‘laff box', and then expertly sprinkling it across other shows, including Bewitched, The Munsters and The Flintstones.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look back at Red Skelton's ‘pantomimes', the origin of much of Douglass' recorded laughter; explain why live studio audiences are sometimes even more enthusiastic clappers than pre-recorded ones; and reveal how the Bolshoi Ballet STILL employ professional audience reactionaries… Further Reading:  • ‘The invention of laughter: Charley Douglass and the laff box' (The Verge, 2013): https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/13/5207136/Charley-Douglass-laff-box-laugh-track • ‘How we fell in and out of love with the Laff Box, the laugh track machine that changed sitcoms forever' (ABC, 2020): https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-16/history-of-the-laugh-track-laff-box-charles-douglass/12117866 • ‘How Do Laugh Tracks Work?'

This is Hank Green, cofounder of Complexly. You might remember last year when I turned the tables on Nilay and interviewed him on his own show. That was a ton of fun, and it was so much fun that they've brought me back again. This time, I'm stepping in for Nilay to host the next few Decoder episodes while he's out on parental leave.  Today, I'm talking with a very special guest: Sal Khan, the founder and CEO of Khan Academy. Sal was actually Nilay's second-ever guest on Decoder, back in 2020. And well, a whole lot has changed since then. So I wanted to have Sal back on to ask what it's like running Khan Academy today, in the aftermath of the pandemic. But also how online learning is about to change, in really dramatic ways, due to artificial intelligence.

ESPN on the verge of FIRING Ryan Clark after he VERBALLY ATTACKS Peter Schrager OFF AIR on Get Up!

Tech workers at the heart of Microsoft are waging one of the most significant and under-covered labor battles in the US right now. For the last two weeks, members of the No Azure for Apartheid coalition, including current and former tech workers at Microsoft and community allies, have been taking bold, continuing, and escalating actions to disrupt business as usual in solidarity with Palestinians facing genocide and in protest of Microsoft's contracts with the Israeli military to provide tech that Israel uses to surveil, kill, and retroactively justify the killing of Palestinians.

Despite being one of the most valuable companies in the world, OpenAI is still technically a nonprofit. That's what set the stage for the dramatic board coup in 2023 that briefly ousted Sam Altman as CEO. And now, OpenAI is trying to shake this nonprofit structure so it can raise even more money and, eventually, go public. There's a lot at stake here, and not just for OpenAI.

En un reciente dictamen judicial, se determinó que Google no estará obligado a deshacerse de su navegador Chrome ni de su sistema operativo Android. El juez del distrito de Washington, Amhid Meta, resolvió que la compañía no debe vender estos negocios. Sin embargo, Meta estableció que Google deberá compartir ciertos datos con empresas específicas, una medida que el Gobierno y el Departamento de Justicia consideran insuficiente. Gail Slater, fiscal general adjunta, expresó en su perfil de X que las autoridades antimonopolio de Estados Unidos están evaluando las siguientes acciones a tomar, dado que exigían la venta de ambos negocios y un acceso completo a los datos de la empresa. El juez Meta defendió su fallo argumentando que es necesario actuar con “prudencia”. “Se le pide al tribunal que haga predicciones sobre el futuro, algo que no es exactamente la fortaleza de un juez”, señaló. En junio, Sundar Pichai, director ejecutivo de Google, se mostró optimista en una entrevista con Bloomberg, destacando que “las personas eligen libremente Google como su motor de búsqueda”. Aunque este fallo parece un triunfo para la tecnológica, Google planea apelar la decisión, lo que podría retrasar su implementación definitiva durante años, incluso llegando hasta la Corte Suprema. Por ahora, Google deberá cumplir con las disposiciones del juez Meta. La compañía advierte que estas medidas podrían impactar la “privacidad de los usuarios”. Aunque el veredicto fomenta una mayor competencia en el sector, los competidores de Google pierden la posibilidad de adquirir su navegador. En mayo, Pichai abordó las acusaciones de monopolio en una entrevista con The Verge, defendiendo la posición de su empresa. Recientemente, la startup de inteligencia artificial Perplexity AI ofreció 34.500 millones de dólares por Chrome, una cifra inferior a su valor real, esperando un fallo desfavorable para Google. De haberse concretado, Perplexity habría obtenido un navegador que, según Kinsta, concentra el 77% de los usuarios globales y que, a través de su herramienta Search, generó más de 100.000 millones de dólares en ingresos este año.

On today's podcast, we sit down with Chef Brad Kilgore, ICONIC award-winning chef and wine enthusiast, and get a front-row seat into the mind of a Michelin-starred chef - one of America's most innovative culinary voices. Known for blending bold global flavors with fine-dining precision, Kilgore explores the ever-evolving world of food, creativity, and culture. Website: kilgoreculinary.com Instagram: brad_kilgore BACK STORY Widely recognized for his boundary-pushing creativity, Kilgore has earned accolades from Food & Wine (Best New Chef), James Beard (multiple nominations), Esquire (Best New Restaurants), and The New York Times, which called his work “refined, inventive, and unforgettable.” With a reputation for blending artistic precision with bold global flavors, Kilgore has cooked at the prestigious James Beard House, collaborated with global hospitality brands, and is now turning heads again—this time for championing Itameshi, a rising Japanese-Italian fusion trend he's helping introduce to American diners. Already gaining global momentum, Itameshi combines the depth and umami of Japanese cuisine with the rich traditions of Italy—creating dishes that feel both deeply comforting and wildly inventive. From yuzu-kosho buttered pastas to miso-infused carbonara and caviar-topped pizzas, Kilgore is blending the best of both cultures and delivering it with the precision of fine dining and the heart of a neighborhood favorite. With five acclaimed restaurants already in operation—including Mad Lab, CIMA, Verge at Concourse Club, Café Sebastian, and Fisher Island—and two new openings coming soon in San Francisco (Ama) and Fort Myers (OISE), Kilgore is bringing this genre-bending flavor profile to diners across the country.   He's also expanding his influence far beyond the kitchen with high-profile collaborations at Rosewood Private Residences, OCN Hotel in Mexico, and Inter Miami, Lionel Messi's home team. And perhaps most surprising? His frozen pizza brand, Pizza Freak, born during the pandemic, was just nominated for World's Best Pizza—the only pre-made pizza to make the iconic pizza ranking list.   SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

Hello, and welcome to Decoder! This is Senior Producer Nick Statt. We're on a small break for the end of summer, and, sadly, Nilay will still be out a little while longer when we come back. But we have an excellent slate of guest host episodes starting up next month, so stay tuned for those.  In the meantime, we wanted to bring back one of our favorite Decoder interviews from earlier this year. It's with Bookshop CEO Andy Hunter, who back in January launched a pretty bold ebook initiative to take on Amazon and Kindle. It's been about seven months, but Bookshop has seen big results, including more than $1 million in ebook sales. So we thought it was a good time to revisit our conversation with Andy.   Links:  Bookshop.org reports 65% growth, e-books add $1 Million in sales | Publishers Weekly Bookshop CEO Andy Hunter's crusade to save books from Amazon | Decoder Bookshop.org is launching an ebook store to take on Amazon | Verge Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Hello! Decoder senior producer Kate Cox here. I'm afraid I'm still not Nilay, but I hope you've been enjoying our series of guest hosts this summer while he's out on parental leave. We have a few more really great guest episodes coming up, before Nilay returns to the host chair later this fall, so stay tuned. The production team is taking our own break this week, so while we're off we're excited to share this episode of The Gray Area with you. Students all over the country — including my own kids, thank goodness — are back in school right around now, and so we thought it would be a perfect time to revisit host Sean Illing talking with journalist James Walsh about how AI tools like ChatGPT have kicked off a new cheating arms race that's proving extremely disruptive to college education.  There are a lot of big Decoder ideas — and problems — wrapped up in all this. Okay, The Gray Area, with Sean Illing. Enjoy.  Links: If AI can do your classwork, why go to college? | The Gray Area Everyone Is cheating their way through college | New York Magazine How to get students to stop using AI | Verge I used the ‘cheat on everything' AI tool and it didn't help me cheat on anything | Verge Inside the frat-bro startup that wants you to ‘cheat on everything' | SF Standard A new headache for honest students: proving they didn't use AI | NYT Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. One of the biggest topics in AI these days is agents — the idea that AI is going to move from chatbots to reliably completing tasks for us in the real world. But the problem with agents is that they really aren't all that reliable right now. There's a lot of work happening in the AI industry to try and fix that, and that brings me to my guest today: David Luan, the head of Amazon's AGI research lab, a cofounder of Adept, and a former VP of engineering at OpenAI. David and I discussed the release of GPT-5, what Amazon wants with agents, and where he thinks the AI race is headed next. Read the full transcript on The Verge.

This week on The Vergecast, the co-founder and former CEO of iRobot, Colin Angle, joins The Verge's smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, to discuss what the ideal home robot is. Are we close to creating a Rosie the Robot — an all-in-one humanoid robot that can take care of our homes, or should we take an entirely different approach to home robotics? They dive into the advances in technology powering this shift and ponder what purpose robotics in the home should really serve. Then, Jen takes a journey back into smart home history to help us understand its future. Grant Erickson, Principal of Nuovations, a former Apple, Nest, and Google engineer who was part of the team that developed Thread, joins the show. He shares the story of how and why, back in 2011, the Nest team, led by Tony Faddell and Matt Rogers, decided to create a smart home protocol. It involves a thermostat, fragmented ecosystems, and one of the best smart home products ever made. They discuss how Thread became the foundation of the Matter smart home standard — an unprecedented industry collaboration with a herculean task — to make the smart home simpler. To close out the show, Grant sticks around to help answer a Vergecast hotline question (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com) about how Matter manages your data.

Obsidian is a note-taking and productivity app that occupies the same "second brain" space as competitors like Notion — but in a lot of ways, it's also startlingly different. Obsidian's files are Markdown-based, stored locally on your own devices, and completely free to use. Steph Ango, the CEO, is also different in a lot of ways: He's not an Obsidian founder, but instead came to the role from being basically a member of the fan development community. His take on software, productivity, and business is refreshingly old-fashioned in a lot of good ways, while he's also leading a very 21st century startup.  Read the full transcript on The Verge.

They'll say Trump was absolutely horrible. And I've lived with that for a long time." 3:45pm- While taking questions from the press, President Trump was asked if American troops would be used to guarantee/enforce any hypothetical peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. Trump said that the U.S. would be involved though he would not explicitly state American troops would be involved. 3:50pm- During an interview with Margaret Brennan, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he saw “movement” from the Russian delegation during Friday's Alaska summit—expressing optimism that an end to the war may be possible at some point.

In this week's summer celebration of the best of Write-minded and Memoir Nation, we're partnering Amanda Knox and Lidia Yuknavitch, both of whom speak compellingly on what it means to reclaim your story. Whether you've been victimized in some way, as Knox was; or whether you're ready to take back a particular story in your life, to cast yourself as the hero or heroine of your own narrative, as Yuknavitch has, these two guests will light the way. They show not just that reclaiming is a choice, but also how to do it in life and on the page. Such inspiring guests and role models for memoirists—and humans—everywhere. Amanda Knox is an author, journalist, and podcast host whose work explores criminal justice, media ethics, and the human experience. She is the author of two memoirs—Waiting to Be Heard and Free: My Search for Meaning—and co-hosts the podcast, Labyrinths. Lidia Yuknavitch is the National Bestselling author of two memoirs, The Chronology of Water and Reading the Waves; four novels: Thrust, The Book of Joan, Dora: A Headcase, and The Small Backs of Children, winner of the 2016 Oregon Book Awards Ken Kesey Award for Fiction; and the critically acclaimed collection of short fiction, Verge.The Misfit's Manifesto, based on her popular 2016 TED Talk, “The Beauty of Being a Misfit,” was published by TED Books.

This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. Today, I'm talking to a very special guest: Nick Turley, OpenAI's head of ChatGPT.  While Sam Altman is definitely the public face of OpenAI, Nick has been leading ChatGPT's development since the very beginning, and it's now the fastest-growing software product of all time with more than 700 million weekly users. So, Nick and I talk about the backlash against OpenAI's removal of its GPT-4o model, the future of ChatGPT itself, solving hallucinations, and why he thinks it eventually won't look like a chatbot at all.  Links:  ChatGPT won't remove old models without warning after GPT-5 backlash | Verge ChatGPT is bringing back 4o as an option because people missed it | Verge GPT-5 is being released to all ChatGPT users | Verge The 6 biggest changes coming to ChatGPT | Verge ChatGPT has 20 million paying subscribers | Verge Elon Musk says he's suing Apple for rigging App Store rankings | Verge OpenAI's ChatGPT to hit 700 million weekly users | CNBC Chatbots can go into a delusional spiral.
