This month, Cliff and Adam sit down with Jules Wang to chat about the past, his career, and some real talk about journalism in the blog era. Jules came up in radio with a background in journalism so he has some good insight on where the craft is today and what needs to change. Plus we talk about how much a loaf of Brad costs - it's more than you think!

This week, we take a look at my notes from WWDC. Apple’s developer conference is always the showcase for what’s to come to Apple’s ecosystem. Things like FaceTime for Android and Windows. Things like universal control to use a common mouse and keyboard on your Mac and iPad. Things like Share Play and just how the hell does that work? We’ve got plenty to talk about and that’s what we’re going to do!

This month, nothing happened. Except for Google I/O, so we brought David Ruddock on to chat about that, and a few other stories that hit the wires during the month.  We chat about the keynote and Google's dominance in the automotive space, and Google's desperation in the wear space. Google and Samsung are getting into bed with each other hardcore, and they're taking us for the ride, and this is getting a little personal.

We also talk about the Starlink reviews that came out in May and Samsung's Upcycling program.

This week, we have our OnePlus 9 Pro review, thanks very much to the fine folks at Android Central. OnePlus has a history of great hardware with not-so-great cameras.

This month for Beyond a Doud, we have Jeff Mendez of El Jefe Reviews! El Jefe, the sunglass-wearing sound reviewer is one of my favorite creators on the YouTubes. I met him through friend-of-the-show Juan Carlos Bagnell. Jeff got started years ago reviewing whatever he could until he pivoted to audio. Headphones are such personal items, and El Jefe loves to talk about them. So he's talking to us.

Cliff and Adam meet up to chat about the month that was. Foldables and Lenovo were both the theme for the month. Starting off we talked about our official Thinkpad X1 Fold review. It's a neat concept, but too expensive for the mainstream. Staying on the Fold theme, we talked about our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. A similar conclusion, but in this case, the product is closer to the retail price. Getting back to Lenovo, Cliff and I both got Lenovo laptops in for review, and we discussed them in a sort of roundtable. This month also saw our Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra vs. iPhone 12 Pro camera showdown, and we wrapped up the month with our farewell to LG.

This week we have our long-awaited Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review. Samsung's folder is an amazing piece of technology that allows a tablet to fold up and slide into your pocket. It's transformative, but is it worth the premium price tag? That's the big question. And we answer it! Plus, Cliff takes a look at the Wyze smartwatch, a $20 smartwatch that punches above its weight class.

This week, Cliff and Adam have their reviewer hats on for a pair of Lenovo laptops. Cliff has the Lenovo L13 Yoga, and Adam has the Thinkbook 14 Gen 2 with AMD Ryzen 5. The laptops are very similar to each other, with the obvious exception of the processor. The two laptops are different from each other in other ways too. The Yoga has a built-in stylus which artist Cliff is able to utilize quite well. Meanwhile, the Thinkbook has a surprising amount of horsepower, perfect for a podcaster.
