I mostly watch the podcast while working once it’s released. Mostly listening but once you’re talking about something visual or trying to describe something I look over to watch during that portion. Here’s to an even more successful year!

[@RychyDoes]

I make a routine to listen in Fridays while I work from home, ideally before noon. Great way to start my day, wish there were more quality podcasts like that I take so much away from each week.

[@NathanMillerVisuals]

I mostly listen to this podcast in the morning while I'm editing at home on Fridays on my PC. Sometimes doing long 5+ hour drives on the phone.

[@Sylvalum]

I usually listen to this podcast at night while cooking or washing the dishes (here in Spain we have dinner quite late) on my smartphone speaker. It's so relaxing for me, by far my favourite moment of the day, so btw thanks a lot for your content! 💕✨

[@connorlackey8439]

Friday afternoons I watch the pod right before h3 after dark. Every Friday I do laundry and when folding my laundry I watch this podcast literally every week.

[@thefox8569]

I mostly listen to the audio of this podcast on KZbin while I'm at work or driving. Plus, I can pull-up the video for a few minutes easily if you guys are trying to show something visual.

[@thekiddshow]

nice, i like listening while doing tasks aswell

[@Matkatamiba]

I either listen to this while I'm working or I fall asleep to it the night after. Also, KZbin Rewind is an amazing idea! Lol 2 million years

[@Luis-wm9om]

54:11 I listen to this podcast at night. I have you guys playing on the TV in my room while I work.

[@akhilkushwaha1253]

I used to listen to these on spotify, will go back to it eventually. The episodes come out at night so thats when i listen to them. right now i am on 54:05 and its 11:03pm right now

[@kosuket888]

From Japan. I listen to this and watch the main channel every single day in my car during my 45-minute commute. Thank you so much!

[@elormdunyo6076]

Usually watch the KZbin form of the podcasts on thursdays while working......before each new episode weekly. Listening/watching from Ghana👌🏾

[@OneWithLogic]

55:10 Listening to this podcast while at my desk working from home, day of release! Currently just after 1300

[@ealder]

Pre-lockdown I used to listen on my commute, now I listen while I'm cooking or doing some stuff around the house. Love what you guys do, keep it up!

[@TAJARIBSAUD]

I’m watching every single episode of the podcast And usually I listen to waveform while my body is moving (walking /jogging /or working at home) and sometimes while I’m driving I’m from (Saudi Arabia)

[@tjmonkey15]

I listen to this during my weekday commute, 7 AM and 5-6ish PM. Thanks for providing all the entertainment!

[@anujupadhyay11]

I am from India and i listen to this podcast during 1AM-3AM at night while playing CS:GO Deathmatch. I turn off sound in the game and focus purely on aim while listening to you guys.

[@Blackbird9070]

I used to be a car-exclusive WVFRM listener before the video podcast, but now I watch/listen to the KZbin video podcast at my desk since I work from home! I have watched/listened to every episode so far!

[@gilgameshprim5690]

I either watch you guys at home while I do chores in the morning after a workout, or I listen on Google podcast while I'm prepping ingredients at the restaurant I work at. I'm earbuds last awhile, and I usually listen until service starts

[@rubenmoreno407]

You guys are the reason I listen to a podcast (only one, I can't get myself to listen to any other ones). I look forward to it every Friday to get that notification. I used to listen to the podcast but switched to KZbin since I love the video much better. I listened during my commute to work but due to the pandemic now I watch it throughout the day at home on my phone, TV and Nintendo Switch (morning, afternoon and at night). Keep up the good work 💪🏽

[@FengLengshun]

I watch Waveform when I'm doing something else that I'm expecting to take at least 30min. For example, going out, getting food, up to finishing the food at home or while at work or tinkering with my PC. It's nice - not too long, not too short, engaging throughout.

[@silentprincess2289]

I listened to this specific episode in the morning waking up and on my way to work. Then last bit on the way back home. I mostly listen to your podcast when im chilling.

[@192venom]

I usually listen to this on pocket cast while I'm at work. But I sometimes watch it on KZbin if I can. The timing of the podcast coming out is always while I'm at work. And I would rather listen to it sooner than to wait and watch on KZbin lol

[@KrisMadas]

I think a problem with Marques's KZbin rewind pitch is that KZbin is much, much larger than Spotify, and it's free. Like my mom's would basically say "you watched 5 garden tutorial videos" and that's it. But I guess this could easily be fixed if you had to have 100 hours of watchtime to qualify for your own rewind. Anyways, I love the idea and they definitely should definitely do it.

[@42_comes_after_the_joke]

Hmmm, maybe just count the analytics of the videos an account watched from verified account.

[@greg_mo]

Just do it for premium only

[@KrisMadas]

@@greg_mo might actually make premium worth it

[@RAYDEEY17]

i'm part of the Ghanaian listeners. just started listening to your podcast this year, but i've been following you for years

[@santiagogiroski]

I live in France and I watch this podcast on KZbin every Friday night when I come back from work.

[@adi1_mhd]

I listen to the one and only podcast that i listen to before in bed mostly on Friday night (here in qatar ). I’m always thrilled when I think abt the wvfrm podcast(its like the little joy left after my work before sleeping ). I’ve always wished if ur podcast was weekly in those early days of wvfrm. I’m happy that now its a weekly thing.

[@RealGr33nGiant]

I always listen to your podcast while I'm at work. Definitely the highlight of my Friday!! I only listen on KZbin now that you do video podcasts, pretty sure I haven't listened to the audio podcasts since you started the video podcasts.

[@fennoqueven]

I keep waveform on in the background, like most other video content, while doing productive stuff. A cool, positive, and informative substantiation of current tech events. Keep it up!

[@CameronDoughertyTech]

Great episode as always. Listened on a Friday after work (one week before my birthday 😂). I loved your discussion of total watch time because I similarly love thinking about how long it really is. I started my channel this year and got up 0.35 years. Not quite your 5k number, but it’s a start.

[@karthikganesh1990]

I love listening to this podcast in the afternoon (IST) while working from home. Keep up the good job! ☺️

[@anderspedersbk6119]

Denmark here. Listening while relaxing and going around cleaning at home and sometimes when I drive😊

[@isaacbreceda5660]

Hello from Mexico, listening to the podcast in the morning before work

[@tanmaygoel5274]

i play WVFRM podcasts randomly in my entire day, anytime i feel like to! great fan of your work!

[@smaranrangarajanbharadwaj]

Usually consume the podcast at night when I lie on bed or just while eating dinner THANK YOU SO MUCH WVFRM!

[@U2haveaniceday20]

Amazing Podcast.Hopefully All have a Wonderful Christmas & New Year’s and Enjoy the Holidays with Friends & Family 🥂🎄 Deb✌️

[@PapysHanson]

I listen the podcast usually when I’m cleaning here in Paris 🇫🇷! Keep up the good work!

[@XLessThanZ]

Always something interesting to listen to. 👍 I'm not a podcast listener, but I watch WVFRM on YT at about 5am (I think) Fridays. Works perfect because I start working from home about 4am to 5am, just in time to start my work day, eating breakfast and watching your show. 👍👍

[@oludiranjohn4712]

I listen at night after school work. Love from Nigeria🇳🇬

[@SebiDtv]

I listen all day during my work day. I work remote so it’s a chill way to have some interesting conversation in the background. I only stream on KZbin though. I like watching you guys interact it’s more entertaining.

[@aumparmar8554]

mostly listen to you guys in the morning while making breakfast, on the weekend (on pocket casts)

[@ngdnhatanh]

I'm from Vietnam and your podcast just came out on Friday night. And the WAN Show from LTT usually goes on live around 8AM Saturday.

[@farhanerd]

I consume the WVFRM podcast during midnight when I’m working. Thanks for the shout-out Love from India. ♥️

[@nobody9706]

I usually listen to your podcasts on weekend mornings while drawing :)

[@benjaminhosaflook7287]

I usually listen/watch it Friday mornings as soon as it comes out! Whether that’s in a plane or at my desk or wherever it may be, I’m waiting for it!

[@vncube1002]

I usually listen on Friday evenings, after work while eating supper. Shout out from 🇿🇦

[@nicholas2128]

I listen to your guys podcast while at work as I work with headphones in the whole day.

[@brandonl9286]

I normally listen to this podcast on my phone while at work. I sometimes listen in the morning but usually listen in the morning.

[@ssaaffuu]

Listening to the post cast illustrating every Sunday morning hear in addis abeba,Ethiopia and got to say quite refreshing hearing waveform and lew later long time listener first time commenting your an inspiration can't wait for the 1000 episode...keep up the good work

[@RAGHAV4882]

12:39AM. USually its 2AM but hey, its good winding down and feels like a small hangout over topics that matter to me! So thanks!

[@filippeo]

Super glad you've covered the H3 lawsuit! We have to bring attention to it!

[@juliansmith3256]

I listened to this podcast at the gym this morning. Usually listen to the podcast(s) In the morning. Around breakfast time, to start the day or at the gym. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Daiooo9899]

Most of the time this podcast is around ~11:00am in Uruguay 🇺🇾 and I watched it at that time almost the time.

[@TechMateria]

I listen this podcast when i'm in my car from work to my home. Around 5:00pm here in Guatemala. Big fan

[@kwakukenneth1]

From Ghana. Been listening since episode 1. Usually watch/listen (on Apple podcast) on Saturday morning.

[@fangirlizm]

I usually watch/listen to this pod around afternoon/night while doing some chores at home. Sending love from Dubai ❤️

[@sanchow2088]

My take on the Oppo retractable lens is cause they are using a much larger sensor (1/1.56) compared to the competition most use around 1/3.0 they are forced into using a moving len, to just be able to focus and reduce loss of light, maybe?

[@pixels_per_inch]

Yep, if the lens is too close to the sensor it won't be able to cover the entire sensor. If it was for optical zoom it'll need another lens behind the first to focus which is unlikely. That's why the Xperia 1 III has two moving lenses inside the periscope for variable zoom.

[@lucascardoso4590]

Listening from Portugal at 22h!!

[@TheEngineersPerspective]

I watch it every morning no matter when the video is posted. And I'm from Ghana. Love you guys a lot. Peace!

[@KleversonRoyther]

I listen to the podcast as I do with most videos, whenever I need to relax. Morning routine, lunch break, after work, weekends...

[@Ryan.zelenski]

Listening to this podcast at 6 pm while mowing the lawn. With my beats studio buds. In Pennsylvania

[@Zuffertube]

I listen while working out, driving, working. I usually listen on the podcast, but I sold my one plus 9 pro to buy a pixel 6 pro and am currently using a nexus 5x to hold me over. Didn’t want to download too many apps so, until the back order comes in, I’ll be listening on the KZbin channel.

[@Hectza]

I find myself listening to your podcast the most a) while I wash the dishes and b) while I code; I've found it somewhat inspiring for my programming job from time to time

[@aka1234]

I listen to your podcasts while doing my homework.

[@narp1838]

As a current medical student on clinical rotations, I typically watch/listen on KZbin at some point during the weekend (Fri-Sun) as a study break likely in the evenings.

[@cicciogattaccio]

For statistics, I used to listed to the podcast on Pocketcasts when it was only audio but then when you added video I switched to KZbin just by simple FOMO. New episodes reach the channel on local Friday evening but due to their length I watch them on lazy Italian Saturday mornings on my PC

[@donkinso]

I only watch/listen on KZbin, anytime (morning - night) during the week and maybe evening time on the weekend. Also as a Nigerian in Canada, shout out to Nigeria- we no dey carey laat 👊🏾

[@imicca]

I listen randomly anytime i have time which means usually 8-12 morning, listening from London UK

[@RandyMangubat]

Didn't realize WVFRM was a Vox Media Podcast. I love their content. You all do great work. I listen to your podcast in the background while I'm at work.

[@rodrigogleriano3188]

I'm from Brazil and I watch it on the TV in the afternoons.

[@godrecall]

Whenever I'm working my Uber shift. You guys help the day go by faster.

[@user-bp8yg3ko1r]

Thank you so much for making Repairability a fundamental part in your reviews! Other creators should take notes.

[@Vascolas007]

Came here to say that I listen on Spotify to this podcast (and every other podcast) while trucking in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Cheers from Portugal!

[@FedericoPetrini]

Here from Argentina, watch and listen every single episode usually the same day or the day after release here on YT. When it was an audio only version, I listened to it on Apple Podcast. Now every Friday I have 3 tech related podcasts to listen/watch on YT: WVFRM, The WAN Show and Topes de Gama Unppluged, +3 hours of tech dosis 😆

[@JTandJB2023]

Mostly listen to this podcast during work, anytime from 8-4 or even after work when im back home

[@stefanopierantoni]

I always listen to this podcast on my commute to university, and you got me into podcasts!

[@vidpetrovic8907]

I am watching this before sleep at 21:50 from Central Europe, Slovenia

[@sharadmathurrr]

I usually listen while on the subway in the morning. Also fun fact, I listen to the audio version in the morning and then also watch the video version when I'm back home.

[@krizanand]

Wonderful listen as always. I mostly listen to waveform podcast while I am on commute to office. Commute takes around an hour, so I get to listen the entire podcast. I am from India. 🙂

[@kevinthomas8455]

I'm in the UK and I watch this podcast about 3pm on Saturday. I love watching the studio to, love watching the podcast I so look forward to it. I've noticed that KZbin have done something with the dislike button, I can no longer see the dislikes.

[@ostynhyss]

Consumed this pod while driving midday

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing it. ✌️

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

No specific time when got the time to watch then I’ll watch it.

[@ianturk]

This episode in particular I watched after 8PM PST on Saturday while working out

[@rsh0419]

Watching on my Macbook pro while I game on my desktop PC. Due to the edited in references and clips, this is the only podcast where I choose the video version instead of audio only.

[@karane3868]

Lots of love from India :) Watches video podcast on Friday, cause the video goes live just before bedtime. And listens to the audio version in Spotify on Mondays during commute.

[@biancachui]

Commuting on train. Love your work - always inspiring for people who work in digital x

[@desharrsaddler5305]

First thing, I’d love to see Marques talk to TPain in a video and also I’ve been waiting for some company to make a retractable Smartphone camera lens

[@MKTECHBYO]

In Zimbabwe, watching here, just relaxing

[@JohnCanadian]

I usually listen in the day during work hours, helps the time go by. Sometimes I listen in the evening on a walk.

[@johnyyF7]

Mostly listen/watch to the podcast at night before going to bed:)

[@katullo11]

Waveform is literally the only podcast I listen to. I'm from Italy and I usually watch the video version in the afternoon.

[@yashsadhwani7027]

Every week when I do laundry, whenever that is. Keep you on my phone while walking to the laundry room, then open on my laptop while folding clothes. It's 2am here in Toronto right now:)

[@spider93286]

I listen at night before I go to sleep - around 11pm in Sydney, Australia

[@jyothyelizabethmartin4927]

No time stamps!!!😭😭😭

[@LockonKun]

Saturday morning is my digest time for the main half of the podcast

[@justinmawi3745]

Listening at night from Kenya. Much love

[@kristianalexander4393]

Today I listened to this podcast while I was riding my fat unicycle on snowy trails in Lapland Finland.

[@simonchinnery1738]

Question: is there a way to remove chromatic aberration for video? Seems like there's some on the light bars leaning on the walls left and right on the edges of the frame on the wide angle shot.

[@MuitoDaora]

Crash safety 😂😂😂 Motorcycles say hello.

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

HYPED that you’re adding sustainability scores to MKBHD videos.
