Hey all. My name is Nicholas Quah.

I’m a critic and staff writer for Vulture and New York Magazine. I recently wrote about life in the New Media Circuit. Also, about the idea of a Podcast Canon. And about how Tramell Tillman’s Magnetic Mr. Milchick. You can find the rest of my work here.

• I also write a newsletter about podcasts called 1.5x Speed. You can subscribe here.

Previously, I founded Hot Pod, a trade publication covering the podcast industry, which was sold to Vox Media in 2021. You can read about that in Variety.

In the past, I reviewed podcasts for Fresh Air. You can find some examples of those segments here, here, and here.

I also used to host a podcast about podcasts, called Servant of Pod, with LAist Studios/KPCC. You can listen here.

I work on some side projects as well, but none that I wish to publicly share at the moment.

I’m originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Currently, I live in Vancouver, British Columbia.

If you wish to contact me, you can send me an email or find me on Instagram.

Have a pleasant day.
