Here's my review of "You Can See Everything." pogueman.substack.com/p/you-…

"You Can See Everything" is one weird, wild, whacked-out documentary. As a master manipulator, Nathan Fielder may have met his match in Elizabeth Holmes. This movie is so different that it's impossible to describe in a review, but I gave it my best shot. pogueman.substack.com/p/you-…

When I reported my "@CBSSunday Morning" story on the fears of an AI apocalypse, I could not get one interview out of my head.

Here's a transcript. pogueman.substack.com/p/the-…

For today's “Pogue’s Posts" column, I tested the new AI Siri. HARD. It missed a few out of my 125 tasks—but some of its triumphs were jaw-dropping. If you can get into the habit of using Siri, you'll do a lot less opening apps, fumbling around, and wasting time. pogueman.substack.com/p/125-…

Apple just unveiled its new folding phone: the iPhone Duo. Passport-sized when closed, 7.6-inch tablet sized when open. Here are the notes I took, for your summarizing pleasure.

This summer, iceberg lettuce made people sick in 49 states. In the panic, people stopped eating salads—and restaurants like Chopt were caught in the crossfire. Today's “Pogue’s Posts”: a video interview with @Chopt's founders, who look back at the crisis. pogueman.substack.com/p/bumm…

Today, I joined @NPR's "Marketplace" to tell a crazy story: How a stranger offered to sell me a 100-year-old photo album that my grandmother put together when she was 20 years old—and how it made its way home through the decades. It's here: marketplace.org/story/2026/0…

Today in “Pogue’s Posts” (free and ad-free): A guest post by Del Yocam, Apple's first COO. He's got some great insight into Steve Jobs's lasting Achilles' heel: His preference for closed systems. substack.com/home/post/p-212…

This year marks the 15th anniversary of "@BookOfMormon" on Broadway. Today, I present a departure from my usual column topics: an interview with the show's creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker ("@SouthPark") and double EGOT winner Bobby Lopez ("Frozen," "Avenue Q")! pogueman.substack.com/p/the-…

Here's my cover story for "@CBSSunday Morning" today: The explosion of ticks in the U.S.—and the new(ish) disease alpha-gal syndrome, which gives you a violent allergy to MEAT (beef, pork, lamb, veal, etc.). I will never again walk in nature without the special socks! youtu.be/LTomL0S8wgM

Last week, on a ship off the coast of Spain, I watched a total solar eclipse—followed by an eclipse SUNSET—followed by the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. Somehow, there's enough left of my brain to write a column about it. substack.com/inbox/post/2120…
