history

The first episode was released in 2014. That year, Hello Internet became the # 1 iTunes podcast in the UK. In addition, it was selected by Apple as one of the best new podcasts of 2014.

In 2015, Brady and the podcast were credited with inventing the word "freebooting". This word was created to describe copyright infringement for unauthorized re-uploading of content and videos on social media platforms. The freebooters earn money from advertising that is shown on these videos. Facebook has since found methods to address this problem.

Another word that is often attributed to Brady and the podcast is the "humblebrag" - however, this word does not come from the podcast, but was invented in 2010 by the American comedian Harris Wittels. Brady and Gray have often made it clear that they didn't make the word up. Still, many listeners believe it.

The Guardian drew Hello Internet from one of the top 50 podcasts from the 2016th Episode 66 “A Classic Episode” (German: “A classic episode”) was named as their episode of the year.
