Android 12 Beta 2 is out, and Flo wants her Material Theming now!

We talk about Stadia's arrival on Chromecast devices this month and a new Apple feature that benefits us all. We also talk about how Google is changing its ad business to comply with French regulators and why the folding Pixel phone might actually be a thing. Before we go, Andy tells us about a new Instagram fad: Samsung cosplayers.
