BTW Joe Biden Makes Podcasts Now

Joe Biden has apparently decided to take a break from pining over the 2016 election and loaning his likeness to time-travel cartoons so he can get into the podcast game.

According to the Verge, the former vice president has started recording daily briefings, appropriately titled Biden's Briefings, where he'll dive in and discuss the news that tickled his fancy each day. For every show, Biden sifts through a bunch of media sources—including Bloomberg, BuzzFeed, MSNBC, HuffPost, New York Review of Books, Politico, and even us here at VICE—and cherrypicks a few stories that are worth paying attention to.

"These briefings include a range of thoughts and opinions, some of which I agree with and some I don't, but all of which I think are important to spend some time thinking about," Biden said.

The podcast will be available to download on iTunes and Spotify, or you can also listen in via your Amazon Echo or Google Home—which means that small talking puck you got last Christmas can soon start beaming the honey-sweet voice of Uncle Joe into your living room.

It's not all going to be Biden's voice, though. The ex-VP records intros and hands off the main duties of actually reading the selected articles to a stable of voice actors. He periodically pops in to interrupt the reading with some comments, though.

"The world is changing quickly," Biden said during one episode, "and now more than ever we need to broaden our perspective and be better informed."

You can listen to episodes of Biden's Briefings right now on the podcast's website, or just scream at Alexa to "enable Biden's Briefings" and you'll be good to go.
