Content

As this fan art depicts, Haran and Grey often refer to themselves respectively as a caveman and a robot to describe their differing personalities.

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 YouTube, technology etiquette, books, movie and TV show reviews, plane accidents, vexillology, futurology, and the differences between Haran and Grey's personalities and lifestyles.^[6][7]

History

The "Nail & Gear", the podcast's official flag chosen by its listeners in a 2015 mail-in election

The podcast debuted in January 2014.^[8] That year it reached the #1 iTunes podcast in the United Kingdom.^[8] It was also selected as one of Apple's best emerging new podcasts of 2014.^[9]

In 2015, Brady Haran was credited with re-introducing the word "freebooting" during a podcast episode (episode 5, "Freebooting", released in 2014) to describe copyright infringement via re-hosting videos on platforms such as Facebook, a practice typically undertaken to profit from advertisements alongside the content.^[10] Facebook has since adopted tools to address this.^[10][11][12]

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".^[13]

Beginning with episode 123 ("Pop Quiz"), after-show episodes titled Goodbye Internet were released as companion podcasts with the main episodes, exclusive for Patreon supporters of the "Goodbye Internet" tier.^[14]

The podcast has been inactive since 28 February 2020, when episode 136 was released.^[4] On 18 May 2020, Haran said on Reddit that they were taking a break.^[15]

Episodes

As of January 2023,^[update] the most recent episode of Hello Internet is numbered 136. However, there are only 133 normal numbered episodes of Hello Internet as the numbering sometimes, although inconsistently, skips a number to accommodate the inclusion of one or more special unnumbered episodes, of which there are 18. These specials include one bonus episode, three Christmas specials discussing Star Wars movies, twelve episodes released during the end of 2018 as the "12 Days of Christmas," and two episodes that were not released digitally. The two non-digitally released episodes are available exclusively on physical media, the first on a vinyl record and the second on a wax cylinder.

The first 10 episodes (1–10) of Hello Internet were referred to as season 1, and the second 10 episodes (11–20) were referred to as season 2. Episode 21 was referred to as the first episode of season 3, and at the beginning of Episode 29, Episode 30 was referred to as the season finale of season 3 and Episode 31 was referred to as being in the 4th season, but the topic of seasons relating to the podcast was not discussed again until one hour into Episode 115, "Pink Flamingo."
