Vox Media Podcast Network and The Verge Announce Decoder with Nilay Patel

 

The Vox Media Podcast Network and The Verge have announced a new podcast — Decoder with Nilay Patel. Hosted by Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel, the new show will continue incisive, news-breaking interviews for Recode Decode subscribers.

 

In Decoder, Patel will interview a diverse and emerging class of entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders, and policy makers to reveal how they’re navigating an ever-changing modern tech landscape — and what it all means for our shared future. 

 

The former host, Kara Swisher, will remain as co-host of Vox's podcast Pivot with Scott Galloway. Swisher will also begin a new podcast project with the New York Times


Swisher for all of her raw, native intelligence too often seemed to stifle interviews with interruptions and her own perspective instead of helping to let the interviewee shine. Patel seems more practiced and smoother with an ear toward shining the spotlight on the person being interviewed.


Decoder with Nilay Patel will bolster The Verge’s growing audio footprint, which includes the popular weekly show The Vergecast, where Patel and co-host Dieter Bohn look at what's happening right now (and next) in the world of technology and gadgets. The Vergecast has been one of the industry's longest-running and highest-rated technology podcasts. 

 



Decoder with Nilay Patel was announced by Patel on the virtual stage at the IAB Podcast Upfronts earlier this week. 


Nilay Patel is Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of The Verge, the technology and culture brand from Vox Media. At The Verge, Patel has spent ten years interviewing tech CEOs, product managers, and policy makers about how they run their businesses, make product decisions, and consider government policies that could fundamentally change their industry. 

 

The Verge has grown to more than 30 million U.S. monthly readers and received its first Pulitzer and ASME Award nominations this year. Patel received an AB in Political Science from the University of Chicago in 2003 and his J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2006.

 

Vox continues to expand its podcast network and its stable of successful podcasts include The Ezra Klein Show, The impact, Land of The Giants (this season about Netflix) and Switched On Pop among many others.
