Next Episode: 196: Quote Unquote

In preparation for the forthcoming 200th episode, Andy and Flo offer their favorite cake freezing tips before Flo offers up an update on her Galaxy Watch Active. After the break, a somber discussion about last week's Christchurch attacks and how YouTube's disaster team acted to stop the propagation of hateful messaging. We'll also discuss what's next for Google in gaming, and how it's very much all related to YouTube's streaming trajectory.

This is one very YouTube-packed episode.
