A Technology Podcast for the Android Faithful

The Android universe reaches far and wide, and from 2011 to 2023, All About Android covered every aspect of it. This tech podcast delivered everything you wanted to know about Android each week. Subscribers learned about the biggest news, freshest hardware, best apps, and geekiest how-tos. The show covered news related to Android, such as the development of the next OS version, new hardware launches from Google, Samsung, Microsoft, OnePlus, Motorola, Xiaomi, and more. The hosts also reviewed apps and services and included audience feedback and questions. Subscribers to the podcast were always one step ahead and fully informed of tech events such as Samsung Unpacked, Google I/O, Android Developer Summit, and more.

All About Android guests included the best in the industry that any Android user would be excited to hear from. Google's Hiroshi Lockheimer, Dave Burke, Stephanie Cuthbertson, and Chet Haase, just to name a few. YouTube Music Product Manager Brandon Bilinski joined the show at a key moment for the service when Google Play Music neared its sunset. Eric Migicovsky of the Pebble smartwatch fame hopped onto the show as he launched the new Beeper service. All About Android has also hosted many app developers, including Chris Lacy (Action Launcher), Koushik Dutta (ClockworkMod), Kevin Barry (Nova Launcher), Russell Ivanovic (Pocket Casts), and Luke Klinker (Klinker Apps). YouTube star Marques Brownlee appeared several times, as have tech journalists/pundits David Ruddock of Android Police, Ben Schoon of 9to5 Google, Juan Carlos Bagnell of SomeGadgetGuy.com, and Raymond Wong of Input Magazine. Bigtime leaker EvLeaks (Evan Blass) has also been a guest.

Another fun fact: starting in September 2017, with the unveiling of Android Oreo, a different Oreo flavor was tasted each week.
