The Authority Insights Podcast is a weekly show from the Android Authority team hosted by Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown. In each episode, we’ll break down the latest exclusive reports, app teardowns, and leaks from the Android Authority team.

We don’t just spend time recapping stories; we also dive deeper into them, providing our own original analysis and sometimes new information not contained in our original articles — though you can find those too on our website right here.
