October 28, 201518: Spoooooky Voice
On this weeks fun-filled episode Yasmine tells us all about her new OnHub router. We discuss Google getting into the podcast space and if it means Russell will be sleeping on the street from now on. In more light-hearted news Olive goes to the Google Campus and we get all spooky thanks to a new analytics site from Google.
The most important take-away though? The race for Nexus 6P ownership has begun. Australia vs America. Man vs Woman. Developer vs Designer. You can slice this Amazing Race in so many ways that you just won't believe...but who will come out on top?!

September 17, 201512: Why pay, when you can swipe!
This week Andy has his Moto X and is sounding very smug about it. Russell distracts him with questions while trying to figure out how to swipe it. Speaking of swipe...Android Pay is here and Yasmine braves the crazy world of retail to find out how it works. Our hosts also discuss spiders who eat other spiders, so you know, there's that to look forward to as well!
