He co-hosts the weekly podcast Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project.
This is outdated. The podcast ended in January 2021, so Savage does not currently co-host it.
Full reasoning
This sentence is written in the present tense, but the podcast is no longer active. Multiple podcast listings identify January 15, 2021 as the show's final episode. Spotify's page for the show lists the episode "All Good Things... - The Adam Savage Project - 1/15/21" and says: "this will be the final episode of The Adam Savage Project." Podimo repeats the same description. So by 2026, it is incorrect to say that he co-hosts the weekly podcast; he formerly co-hosted it.

The project launched on June 5, 2012, and is in the format of a conversation among Savage, tested.com editors-in-chief Will Smith and Norman Chan, and Simone Giertz about topics from science and movies to do it yourself and work ethics.
This sentence mixes the 2012 launch with a later host lineup. Simone Giertz was not part of the podcast when it launched in June 2012; she first appeared in June 2016.
Full reasoning
The launch date in this sentence is fine, but the lineup attached to that launch date is not. Sources that catalog the podcast identify the show as "Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project" by Adam Savage, Norman Chan, Will Smith and trace it back to June 5, 2012. A separate episode titled "Welcome Simone! – Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project – 6/21/16" says Simone Giertz was the "newest host" and that she "makes her first appearance on Still Untitled this week." That means Simone joined years after the show began, so it is inaccurate to describe the June 5, 2012 launch as already being a conversation among Savage, Will Smith, Norman Chan, and Simone Giertz.
