Thoughts and analysis on the new Apple iPhone 7, how to toast Lender's bagels, the Apple Watch Series 2, AirPod wireless headphones, exploding Samsung Galaxies, the cute Lenovo Yoga Book, and more. Give it a listen, won't you?

Sam and Shannon welcome their first guest, photographer Bryan Formhals! They discuss Bryan's recent feature in the New York Times, a potential alien civilization 94 light years away, Instagram Stories, and we get Bryan's take on the death of Gawker.

Shannon and Sam discuss the discovery of a new Earth-like planet in a habitable orbit, we share our thoughts on the end of Gawker.com, we drool over the new Tesla Model S P100D, and we review the Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Generation. And... we laugh a lot.

In the second ever episode of Mallercast, Sam and Shannon discuss the recent SpaceX rocket launch, and how Elon Musk is trying to save humanity. Next, they talk about the new, critically-acclaimed Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone, and how designers are trying to destroy humanity.

The very first (and extremely exciting) episode of Mallercast! Meet Sam and Shannon, learn a bit about them, then dive headlong into talk about the rumored iPhone 7 and distant aliens who are trying to destroy a star named KIC 8462852.
