    This week, Mike nerds out!... By himself. Marc and Tom aren't able to be here for this episode, so Mike decided to do a one-man show. He talks about his new Google Home Mini, his struggles with picking a camera brand to replace his canon gear, and he describes his experience as a novice podcaster – things he's learned, mistakes he's made, and equipment he uses.

    This week, Mike flies off the handle again! He starts by criticizing Donald Trump, and then pivots to bashing house cats. But he eventually snaps out of it and remembers Power Cycle is a tech podcast, so he follows up on his usage of the Pixel 2 and compares the experience to his Galaxy S7 Edge.

    Last but not least, the three discuss the new Netflix series: The Punisher, and how it stacks up against the rest of the MCU shows.
