The Search For Awesome Podcast

Mobile World Congress is over and we wrap up the big news behind the event includes the new Samsung Galaxy S9, LG V30S Thin Q, Nokia 8110 (The Matrix Phone is back!!), and a phone that actually is innovative. But, you probably won't buy it.

That brings us to the question, what comes after smartphones? If we hit the ceiling of what can be done with a smartphone, what can take it's place as the center hub of our world. It's with this question, we explain why the cloud will replace the phone as the center of your life.

We also expose you to Lucas the Spider - an amazing cute animated spider. And Anchor - a cool platform for hosting a new podcast.

Finally, we talk about some poor MoviePass experiences - one was Titus's fault...

Don't miss the bonus podcast episode next week where we talk about Up and Vanished (Spoilers!).

Mobile World Congress 2018 was full of phone announcements that were pretty underwhelming. Innovation in phones is dying and Titus has an opinion about what will take the place of smartphones - the cloud!

Serial is a podcast that ends with a lot of questions, and although we don't have real answers, there is a lot to discuss. In this bonus episode of The Search For Awesome Podcast, Titus and Mikee discuss the case and whether we think Adnan is guilty or innocent and if he should have been convicted with the known evidence.

This is full of spoilers so if you haven't listened to Serial, you might want to do that before listening in.
