The podcast features discussions pertaining to their lives as professional creators for YouTube, the content of their most recent videos as well as their interests and annoyances. Typical topics include technology etiquette; movie and TV show reviews; plane accidents; vexillology; futurology; and the differences between Grey's and Haran's personalities and lifestyles.[7][8] Listeners can discuss the podcast in CGP Grey's subreddit,[9] or in the Hello Internet subreddit.[10] Each episode usually starts with Grey's and Haran's opinions and comments on such feedback. The podcast has an official flag called the "Nail & Gear".[11]

In 2015, Haran and the podcast were credited with reappropriating the word "freebooting" to describe copyright infringement via re-hosting videos on platforms such as Facebook, a practice typically undertaken to profit from advertisements alongside the content. Facebook has since adopted tools to address this.[12][13][14]

Reception

The podcast peaked as the #1 iTunes podcast in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Canada, and Australia.[15] It was selected as one of Apple's best new podcasts of 2014.[16] The Guardian included the podcast among its 50 best of 2016, naming episode 66 ("A Classic Episode") its episode of the year; the paper described the podcast as having "in-depth debates and banter that is actually amusing".[17]
