Episode 15
May 22, 2018 18:05 - 57 minutes - 54.6 MBWhat an episode! We would put how scared we are about certain new bits of technology that are rearing their heads, but we're also scared that they might be able to read this and we for one welcome our new robot overlords, that's for sure. Oh, and Infinity War! You can find us on other sites at @benjionelung and @bytereview - what would you use Google Duplex to take care of? Thanks to Tony Thaxton for our theme!

Episode 14: Zuckerberg in Congress, Tech for Relationships and A Quiet Place
April 25, 2018 15:22 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBAfter a traditionally lengthy tech issue in getting everything set up, we absolutely crushed it, as always. 100% of the time. I don't think the noise of quiet facepalming while talking about the questions posed to Mark Zuckerberg came out on the recording, but apologies if it did. Speaking of noises, we both (SPOILER) liked (END OF SPOILERS) A Quiet Place, and it was almost as fun talking about as watching. Wait, no that doesn't sound great. It was good. Thanks for listening!

Episode 13: Chromebooks, Data Mining and Ready Player One
April 10, 2018 19:22 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBIt was way too early in the morning when we recorded this episode. Like, TEN AM EARLY. Still, we managed to soldier on with arguably the most important news and opinions you'll hear today. Chromebooks - why we quite like them, and how we're totally not sponsored to talk about them. What IS the deal with the iPhone X's notch, anyway? Is data mining THAT big a deal? Was Ready Player One cool or do we already hold it in a weird kind of meta-nostalgia? Who knows. Does it sound like we do? Thanks...

Episode 12: AI Harry Potter, Stranger Things 2 and The Last Jedi
January 08, 2018 19:55 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBAI Harry Potter, Stranger Things 2 and The Last Jedi HEY, Christmas may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean we can't have a podcast episode from before it even started! Ah, how young we were back then, how naive! We had a load to say about The Last Jedi, our freshest take on Stranger Things series two, and the hardest I think we've laughed about a passage of computer-generated Harry Potter, EVER. Enjoy!

Episode 10: The Elon Musk Special!
September 24, 2017 13:59 - 55 minutes - 51.7 MBWe've been champing at the bit to talk about all of the cool things that entrepreneur, genius, possible-alien, Elon Musk is working on. It's a science-heavy episode, covered by two people who are effectively chimps in the headlights (who also aren't very good at metaphors). Take a trip into the weird and wonderful future (as seen by one guy, at least) through space travel, earth travel, mind-reading, and simulating an entire universe. Thanks for listening!

September 08, 2017 20:01 - 57 minutes - 53.3 MBWe're back, with all the excuses in the world for missing a few weeks (not to play the 'wedding' card or anything). Time for Tom and Ben to catch up on air, talking why Ben can't take a shot in lycra, why Tom won't be buying a Galaxy Note 8 any time soon and why we're still thinking about Spider-man: Homecoming!

Episode 8
June 06, 2017 21:21 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBWe done gone went to see Guardians 2 together in order to talk about it on our little podcast, like a proper date. It turned out great, as did one man's quest to build an iPhone and the prospect of alien life being out there, somewhere. Plus, as ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS, Tom's Good News is... good. I don't know if we need to say this, but we recorded the episode before Zack Snyder decided to move away from Justice League under pretty brave and tough circumstances, with Joss Whedon stepping in, so...

November 06, 2016 21:03 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBThe first episode of two guys talking about things they're interested in. We'll probably do, like, six and then stop. In the meantime, check out what we think about things. For two guys with a background working around audio, you'd think we'd have dodged the occasional clipping in the recording, but there you go.
