After taking a couple of weeks off we return on this glorious Black Friday with another episode of The TouchArcade Show. We get into a big discussion about virtual assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google, and their place in the greater smarthome ecosystem. We *try* not to say Alexa so as not to trigger anybody’s devices while they’re listening, but a few definitely slip through, so heads up. We also get into a couple of reader emails which leads into some game discussion about Marvel Snap and Wreckfest, and finally we cap things off talking about the ongoing dumpster fire that is Twitter. Speaking of which, we’re both really digging Hive so find links to our profiles in the Show Notes below.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected]. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji.
