    We’re launching a new show!

    It’s called Version History. It’s sort of a history show meets a rewatch podcast: we’re going to tell the stories behind the most interesting tech products ever, and also just hang out and talk about whether we owned a Zune or could successfully ride a hoverboard.

    The show launches Sunday, October 5th. You’ll be able to get the first eight-episode season on The Verge’s YouTube channel or on The Vergecast’s podcast feed, but if I might make one request, please also subscribe to Version History wherever you get podcasts. This show has been so much fun to make, and I think you’re going to like it.

    What are you into this week? Tell me for Installer!

    I’m putting together this week’s Installer newsletter (which so far only includes one pair of smart glasses, but you never know), and want to know everything you’re enjoying right now. What are you reading / watching / playing / downloading / listening to / building in Fortnite this week? Tell me in the comments, and subscribe to Installer to see what everyone else is into, too.

    Someone build this, please.

    I’ve long wanted a way to quickly switch between watching, listening to, and reading a YouTube video, depending on how I want to consume it. Turns out, Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg wants the same thing:

    Many [videos] are essentially like podcasts, and from a product perspective, I think we need to figure out how to sync and allow seamless movement between watching, listening, or reading transcripts

    Mullenweg runs a bunch of businesses that could totally make this happen, just saying. I really hope someone does build it.
