Notnerd Podcast: Tech Better

Much to his dismay, Nate is surrounded by Trekkies (or Trekkers according to Dave). Once he gets over that we talk about the big stories in tech this week. Hot on the heels of our Apple WWDC bonus episode, there's still plenty to talk about in the world of tech. We even manage to get a few Pro Tip Bells and a High Five segment thrown in.

Dave has been using an app on his new MacBook and iPhone that is changing the way he does email. After he talks about the ins and outs of this app we discuss the news and topics we thought you should know about this week. It was a pretty slow week in news, but next week is Apple's WWDC conference and we are going to do a bonus episode to discuss their big keynote presentation happening Monday morning.

The "Pro Tip Bell" gets a workout this week as we provide you with a wealth of knowledge. After literal years of pondering a new laptop purchase, Dave finally pulled the trigger. What did he end up with you ask? Well tune in to the episode to hear the decision making process to hear why he chose what he did and why Nate now wants one even though he certainly does not need it. We wrap up the episode with some news and current topics.

The podcast starts off with some followup and a discussion on our excursion to a super nerdy video game exhibit. After we announce our first giveaway winner, Nate ask's a fan question and wants your parenting tech tips.

It was a pretty slow news and "not news" week but we found some topics to discuss, then we spend the remainder of the episode discussing music and how to listen to it, with a brief detour to podcast listening at the end.

We start off with a vaguely political discussion of everyone's favorite day of the year, tax day. Nate then introduces a new segment, "Not news," followed by some regular news. Then in a poorly counted "High 5" segment we recommend some really great podcasts that we think you will enjoy. Head to our Facebook page and let us know your favorite podcasts or what you are looking for.

Pro Tip from the episode (55:17) - If you or those around you are sensitive to colorful language, mind the "Explicit" tag on podcasts.
