Vergecast is off today, go listen to Power User!

Due to a series of vacations and illnesses this week, we decided that instead of bringing you a Vergecast today, we’d play you an episode of Power User, the new show from our friend Taylor Lorenz and our friends at the Vox Media Podcast Network. Taylor and I chatted for a few minutes about podcasts, TikTok bans, and more, and then we rolled the tape on her first episode.

We’ll be back next week, and hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Rock and roll.
