Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast

CES 2026 Actually Has Some Bangers?

We're back! After a nice long holiday break we're back with 2.5 hours of complete chaos. We start off with a few quick updates before getting into everything from the new Pickle AR glasses that were announced to holograms and the Clicks communicators. Then we make our predictions for what we think is going to happen this. Enjoy!

Waveform’s Favorite Cameras!

We recorded one more bonus episode before going on holiday break all about one of our favorite topics...cameras! In this one, Marques, Andrew, Adam, and Ellis all try to be David's favorite. The crew each picked their favorite 3 pictures that they've all taken with wildly different cameras and David goes through them to give feedback. It's half portfolio-review/half chaotic camera comparisons. We hope you enjoy and we'll see you next year for regular weekly episodes. Happy holidays!
