    Andy is tired of diehards, and Flo is taking a break from the Apple Watch. We get into what's coming from Google, including the newly announced Chromecast with Google TTV (HD). Plus, Framework is making a modular Chromebook, Google Arts & Culture dropped a cool game, and we're loling over LOLNeRF.

    377: Macroeconomics Sep 16, 2022

    Flo is back! And Andy brought a cake! It's the best way to start a podcast between two friends who have missed one another. Flo and Andy discuss the new iPhone 14 Pro and why it's compelling. They also strategize what Google needs to do to make the Pixel 7 a hit.

    Then, a bit of an update on all the goings-on internally at Google. Last week, Sundar Pichai was at the Code Conference talking about cutting down the Alphabet workforce. It's a bit worrying after the news that Google shut down the next Pixelbook project, along with a chunk of Area 150.

    376: Hootenanny and a Half Sep 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Flo will be back next week, so enjoy this week's last Andy solo show for a while. It was Apple event week, so there was lots of Apple vs. Google talk. Andy walks through some of the iPhone 14/14 Pro and Apple Watch's new features and where Android could do better. And then, a call out to Tim Cook, who would rather have you buy your mom an iPhone than open up iMessage to Android users. Le sigh!

    375: A Forgotten Psychological Disorder Sep 06, 2022
    Show notes

    It's another Andy solo show this week because Flo got the stupid virus. Always in solidarity, Andy spends the first part of this week's podcast reminding you why you should wear that mask. Then, Andy gets into the Google news of the week, including new widgets and rumors sprouting up on what Android 14 could feature. And on the search engine side, Andy explains how the company is gearing up for this year's U.S. midterm elections.

    374: Tough Stuff Aug 26, 2022
    Show notes

    Sometimes, things are tough, which is what this week's episode is about: tough stuff. Flo tells the story of why it was challenging to write her Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 review, and Andy lifts our spirits with his proposed plans for Halloween. Then, we walk you through this week's biggest non technical headlines.

    Content warning for talk of COVID and CSAM.

    373: This Is Not a Sitcom Aug 19, 2022
    Show notes

    Andy is solo again because Flo's throat is out of commission. But that means it's an Andy story hour! Andy starts by explaining why Apple's Twiggy drives are one of the company's biggest engineering failures--and one of the most expensive collector's items.

    Then, Andy gets into the rant that he and Flo were planning to tag-team. Google Play's episodes tend to come through a little later than everyone else, which has led us to buy and stream things elsewhere. Andy also covers Android 13's Pixel-first release this week and checks in with Google's #getthemessage campaign.

    Show notes

    Andy and Flo are happy to be reunited. They tell tales of their favorite New York City times and discuss the hard choice of going out during still-COVID times. Then, the two gawk and squee over everything Samsung announced this week, from its foldables to its buds. And they offer their expert opinion on why Google's #getthemessage campaign is too little too late.

    371: All Your Questions Answered Aug 06, 2022
    Show notes

    Andy's doing another solo show this week, as Flo is off on assignment. It's a bummer because Flo would have loved participating in this week's opening banter on Jerry Lewis and Andy's Google Home Mini. Andy discusses Samsung's new repair mode on its Galaxy smartphones and Stadia's exit from the Google Store. He also performs a live reaction to a video Apple posted this week convincing Android users to come to iOS.

    Andy is melting, but he's still intact enough to sit and chat with Flo about what makes the Google Pixel 6a so compelling. Reviews came out this week, including Flo's, and we're going through all the reasons why you might want Google's mid-ranger. Don't forget that the Pixel Buds Pro is also on the roster. Then, we'll discuss Google's latest Glass experiments and what to expect. We also wish a friend luck on an endeavor into waters that have been proven murky.
