Asking Doctor Mike About Health Tech Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

This week, Doctor Mike stopped by to talk about everything from Apple Watches to smart water bottles! There are so many new health features in tech products nowadays that we felt it was about time we asked someone about them. Luckily, Dr. Mike is a practicing physician who knows a thing or two about the human body, so we just asked him! This was a fun and informative sit down that we hope you enjoy!

Reddit is Destroying Itself Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

So much happened this week! After talking about a grab bag of news, Andrew and David take turns explaining what exactly is going on with Reddit and the Apollo app. Then they go over some changes with the YouTube monetization program that makes it easier for new creators to become partners. Finally, we wrap it all up with trivia. Enjoy!

Editor's note: For some reason, our feed was getting messed up with the episode from last week so sorry for the confusion! This should (hopefully) be the right episode! If it isn't, Adam might cry a little.

Thoughts on Apple Vision Pro and WWDC 2023! Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

It's WWDC time! In this episode we break down everything Apple announced at its annual developer conference, from iOS to MacOS to.. VisionOS? Unfortunately, in order to fit everything we had to skip on doing trivia in this episode, but don't worry! If wacky tech trivia is what you live for (like us), we did a trivia collab with the Vergecast where we went head-to-head so make sure to check that out! We also hopped on at the end of their emergency WWDC podcast for a fun lightning round at the end. There's a ton to get into with everything that Apple announced. This is a long one, but we hope you enjoy!

Waveform VS Vergecast Trivia at WWDC Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

While we were at WWDC this week, we were able to get into the new Apple Podcasts studio and do a trivia episode with the Vergecast! They are caught completely off-guard by some of the crazy questions Ellis has prepared which results in more than a little chaos but a ton of fun. We'll be back on Friday with a full WWDC recap but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy this battle royale bonus episode of Waveform vs Vergecast!

The Secret History of the Internet May 05, 2023

Show notes

In this prequel to the 'ICANN and the 7 Keys to the Internet' podcast, David talks Marques and Andrew through the wildly interesting history of the internet. There's plenty of information out there about the beginning of the World Wide Web in 1989, but what was happening before that? How did the internet start? How long did it take to turn on? And why does it always start with Sputnik? David answers all those questions and more while explaining how everything came to be. Special thanks to everyone that took the time to talk with us to make this episode. We hope you enjoy!
