May 26, 201647: Removed Your Head In Daydream? No Donuts For You!
Google is hurtling head first into the world of VR. But behind the news, what's actually going on? To find out the Material Crew are joined by two Senior Designers and Prototypers from the Google VR Daydream team. Where did this interesting new project come from? Where is it going? And just what interesting things have Manuel and Robbie tried so far during their experimentation phase?
There's only one place to find out, and only one way to know. Tune in to this weeks episode in stereoscopic 3D* sound!
*N.B. Much like cake, reliably built British cars and IOU notes from your friends, the 3D is a lie. But you know, at least you found out because you read all the way to the end. Yay you!

May 05, 201644: Pineapple Jalapeños
Andy shoots up a wedding while wearing a spy cam. Yasmine hunts for her lost nutties. It begins to dawn on Russell that he's now the least professional host on this show.
On the Google side of the fence: onHub updates, Camera updates, Keyboard updates, even your ex now updates. Too soon? Sorry.

April 28, 201643: Aw, Nuts!
Andy has a secret package he opens live on air. Yasmine tips her hat to two podcasting greats. Russell makes a horrible joke at the end of the show. That's right kids, it's this weeks episode of your 2nd favourite podcast, Material!
Of course there's Google I/O news, the ending of an 11 year court case (that's almost as old as some of you!) and the death of a beloved app is remembered. Also be warned, this episode will make you hungry. Like really, really hungry. Please don't get hangry at those around you, your not yourself on an empty stomach.

Yasmine outlines her next demand of Google. Andy gets creepy with a metronome. Russell dreams of scaling mountains. Then of course there's the HTC 10, Android Wear watch faces and Google's renewed push into accessibility.

April 07, 201640: I'm singing!
The Power of Material is proven once and for all, as Google bows to Yasmine's will. We discover Andy has a podcast about Hamilton. Russell brags that he totally gets exercise and stuff.
And of course we discuss Google's new voice, their amazing track record at buying companies and whether or not robots can feel pain. Oh and Yasmine sings at the end of the show. This is what happens kids if you leave more in your local recording than you perhaps should. MU HA HA HA HA HA.

March 31, 201639: I/O Lasagna for One
Yasmine isn't crying, it's just been raining on her face. Could it be that Russell will end up making Lasagna for one at Google I/O? Andy is unsurprisingly excited about camera filters. Our brave adventurers also discuss Sundar Pichai and Russell has a shocking Smart Watch revelation that hits you right in the face. What time is it? Do you need a hand? Do these puns tick you off? You should watch out for them. They sometimes get complicated. Wait a second, do you know leather or not strapping these jokes on like this will make the Relay FM CMS buckle? Ok, ok. I relent. It's Material Podcast time kiddo's!
