Andy and Flo get real this week, first about the agony of managing a personal music library on Android, then about the new Google Lens features that are rolling out. After the ad, we'll break down the reports of "sweatshop-like working conditions" for linguists working on the Google Assistant, and why Google allowing abortion clinics to advertise will help save lives. We'll also discuss Google's "OneChrome" project, and whether we like the newly revamped Google Travel page.
