Accidental Tech Podcast is an American podcast that discusses technology, with a focus on Apple products. It was created in 2013 by Marco Arment, Casey Liss, and John Siracusa.

History

[edit]

Arment, Liss, and Siracusa originally created a podcast focused on cars, which led to them starting the Accidental Tech Podcast in 2013.[2][3] The podcast covers technology topics, focusing on Apple products and software.[4] The three hosts are software developers, giving the show a different perspective compared to technology podcasts hosted by journalists.[5]

Guest appearances on the show are infrequent; past guests have included Chris Lattner in 2017 and 2020, and Phil Schiller in 2019.[6][7][8]

Reception

[edit]

The podcast has received mostly positive reviews, receiving an average of 4.3 stars on Apple Podcasts, with 2,000 reviews.[9] In 2018, The Sydney Morning Herald, when referring to technology podcasts focused on Apple, called the podcast "the most entertaining of the bunch".[4] In 2022, Mashable described the podcast as "a bit dry at times", yet "always done in a charming way".[5]
