Wait for it, wait for it, the gang is back together for the first time in awhile.

 

We start off discussing a recent petition started in England demanding that all content aired and streamed provide audio description. You can sign the petition here. We then discuss a bill being drafted before the U.S. Congress to make it easier to cancel those pesky renewal subscriptions.

 

Peacock TV finally comes to Fire sticks, but will it be accessible? If you are not an Apple TV Plus fan, make sure to double check when your subscription ends, as many people will start paying for the service on July 1. Facebook has begun to roll out Live Audio Rooms, but is it to late for them to get in on the Audio Social Media game?

 

We then tackle all the announcements coming out of Microsoft about Windows 11 arriving later this year. Android apps will be coming to PCs.

Prime Day has come and gone, we recap what we purchased this year. Brian got a new battery pack he highly recommends and can be found on Amazon here. Brian is also a fan of the new lighting cable in a keychain and you can check out this product here.

 

We dive in to a little talk about the beta for iOS 15 as two of us have been running it on our devices. 

 

And if you have not experienced Spatial Audio yet, run to your nearest Apple store to get a pair of Air Pod Pros or Maxes because it is freaking mind blowing!
