Sad to see the end of a 13 year run.

    Did they explain why they ended it? I’m currently listening to it so maybe the reason is coming up. I’m a loyal listener and so a bit devastated and shocked that it wasn’t announced in advance.

    It’s one of the most engaging shows I listen to so I’d be surprised if it was because of a shrinking audience.

    This sucks, but maybe this will allow them to make “This week in Google” actually about Google and not just miscellaneous stuff.

    It was a good show for android users like me and the lack of good alternatives indicates there isn’t a market for this type of show. We’re probably still in the early stages of losing the things we’re used to having because they’re no longer economically viable.

      There was a time when there were a bunch of Android podcasts. But I think as Google has made Android more “boring” the interest for these has faded.
