The Android Police podcast is back and better than ever

The last time theAndroid Police podcastaired was right before the world shut down, in late February 2020. Back then the show, along with the website as a whole, looked quite different, with a rotating cast of hosts publishing on Twitch, YouTube, and your favorite audio podcast player. It was a lot to handle, which is why it was unceremoniously shut down.

But after a tumultuous couple of years, we thought it was time to reboot the podcast with a fresh format, some new hosts, and a more limited (read: sustainable) scope. As of this writing, we’ve recorded and published two episodes, and we’re planning on releasing a new episode every week — anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour long. We currently have three regular co-hosts: Daniel Bader (me, editor-in-chief),Ara Wagoner(commerce editor), andWill Sattelberg(phones editor), but we will definitely be inviting other Android Police regulars, as well as occasional special guests, as we ramp things up. Each episode is produced by the fantasticJules Wang, who produced every episode of the previous AP podcast.

The format is fairly simple: each host brings their own theme for every episode, taking turns to have the whole group sound off on it. Some weeks the whole episode may be devoted to a single topic — if there’s a big newAndroid beta, or arecent flagship phonerelease – but the goal is to keep each episode as interesting and engaging as possible. We’ll be covering timely topics as they’re available, but we won’t be afraid to do some deep cuts and explorations, too.
