On this episode of The Vergecast, we kick off Hot Girl Vergecast Summer with a classic Vergecast segment: the mic test.
Guest host Victoria Song is joined by Vergecast producers Andru Marino and Erick Gomez to see how the Nothing Headphone 1, Sony WH-1000XM6, Apple AirPods Max, and Bose QuietComfort Ultra hold up against what's possibly the noisiest street in Brooklyn.
Victoria is joined by Ladder CEO Greg Stewart to talk about what it takes to build a successful strength training app, especially for people just starting out.
We answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline about AI fitness summaries, whether people actually like them, what's frustrating about them, and what scenarios they might actually be useful for.
