January 14, 201628: Jifting Socks
You know damn well that our hosts are hip to the young people. Between their baseball caps turned thusly, their hoodies and their hip startups they feels ya. That's why this week we debut a brand new segment 'Andy's Advice To The Youngs'. If you, dear young person, have been wondering why your career is as stagnant as your love life, then you need look no further. One dose of Andy's Advice to The Youngs per week will cure all your ills.
Our hip trend-setting cats also discuss the demise of Motorola, recent tech developments, and what they are hoping to see at Google I/O.

January 07, 201627: Pocket Casts. Buttocks. Buttocks.
It's 2016 and your hosts are back and raring to go. Before they deep dive into CES and other Google news though, there's an important question to cover: What exactly did they do over the break and what have they spent their Relay FM millions on? The answers may shock you more than this show's title ever will.

December 17, 201525: Santa Tractor
On today's fateful episode Yasmine loses her voice to foul treachery on the part of another Relay FM podcast. Which one is it? What do unicorns and tacos have to do with it? And is Android so insecure someone will steal this episode before you get to hear it? Only one way to find out!

December 10, 201524: Material Podcast: The Musical
Can it be?! Is this the episode that Andy finally returns to the Android fold? Is Yasmine really playing with lego the entire episode? Is Russell obsessed by a router he can't have? Does the team make any terrible puns about the Pixel-C? Only one way to know! Tune in to this weeks episode!
Come for the discussion, stay past the closing credits for a once in a lifetime musical. No we mean it, it may literally happen only once in your lifetime.

November 26, 201522: Trek Wars
The crew is shocked to learn that 22 episodes in they might be becoming friends...and what do all friends do at this point? Answer listener questions of course! And discuss Star Trek and Star Wars! In other news Yasmine buys a car definitely, probably, maybe just to get Android Auto.

November 19, 201521: Drones Delivering Drones
Andy shows off his day and night iPad Pros (you see he only plays offence, never defence). Yasmine yells at Google. Microsoft runs away. Russell doesn't get Thanksgiving, but Google does. Knock knock. Who's there? Drone? Drone who? Drone't you know there's a package here for you!
Thank you, thank you. We'll be here all week folks. Quite literally. You know these come out weekly right? But enough frivolity, grab your listenerd drinking game and join the fun!

November 12, 201520: Fruit Salad. Yummy Yummy.
On this week's show we discover that the rumours of Andy's death have been greatly exaggerated. We meet the cutest little listenerd in the world, debate how to pronounce 'Heuer' and ask how long until the machines can finally read your mail and schedule all your appointments. Meanwhile Google and Apple lose their marbles. Like really lose them. Like I can't even levels of loss. Google open sources the tech behind their machine learning magic, and Apple brings Apple Music to Android. Lastly after discovering there's a 'listenerds' drinking game Yasmine drops the L bomb so many times that most of you should probably call in sick tomorrow. Maybe the next day too. Heck take the entire week off. Listenerd, listenerd, listenerd.
WHAT A WEEK TO BE ALIVE LISTENERDS. WHAT. A. WEEK. TO. BE. ALIVE.

November 05, 201519: The Great Nexus Race
On this weeks episode tune in to find out how the Great Nexus Race was won and lost. Did Yasmine's street smarts and USA home ground advantage win her the day, or was Russell able to pull off an upset thanks to the legions of Koalas at his disposal? Did our two fierce competitors kill each other, and if not, how do they feel about their Nexus 6P devices?
We also have a super special guest to interview. That's right, we did the unthinkable and kidnapped the first iPhone user we could find, gave them a Nexus 5X and then got their thoughts on it. Have they been swayed to the dark side? Why did they miss the recording of their favourite Apple podcast this week? Something is afoot...and we get to the bottom of it all.
