Come to hear one of the world's most influential designers speak, stay for the quotes:

22: Trek Wars
The crew is shocked to learn that 22 episodes in they might be becoming friends...and what do all friends do at this point? Answer listener questions of course! And discuss Star Trek and Star Wars! In other news Yasmine buys a car definitely, probably, maybe just to get Android Auto.

21: Drones Delivering Drones
Andy shows off his day and night iPad Pros (you see he only plays offence, never defence). Yasmine yells at Google. Microsoft runs away. Russell doesn't get Thanksgiving, but Google does. Knock knock. Who's there? Drone? Drone who? Drone't you know there's a package here for you!
Thank you, thank you. We'll be here all week folks. Quite literally. You know these come out weekly right? But enough frivolity, grab your listenerd drinking game and join the fun!

20: Fruit Salad. Yummy Yummy.
On this week's show we discover that the rumours of Andy's death have been greatly exaggerated. We meet the cutest little listenerd in the world, debate how to pronounce 'Heuer' and ask how long until the machines can finally read your mail and schedule all your appointments. Meanwhile Google and Apple lose their marbles. Like really lose them. Like I can't even levels of loss. Google open sources the tech behind their machine learning magic, and Apple brings Apple Music to Android. Lastly after discovering there's a 'listenerds' drinking game Yasmine drops the L bomb so many times that most of you should probably call in sick tomorrow. Maybe the next day too. Heck take the entire week off. Listenerd, listenerd, listenerd.
WHAT A WEEK TO BE ALIVE LISTENERDS. WHAT. A. WEEK. TO. BE. ALIVE.

19: The Great Nexus Race
On this weeks episode tune in to find out how the Great Nexus Race was won and lost. Did Yasmine's street smarts and USA home ground advantage win her the day, or was Russell able to pull off an upset thanks to the legions of Koalas at his disposal? Did our two fierce competitors kill each other, and if not, how do they feel about their Nexus 6P devices?
We also have a super special guest to interview. That's right, we did the unthinkable and kidnapped the first iPhone user we could find, gave them a Nexus 5X and then got their thoughts on it. Have they been swayed to the dark side? Why did they miss the recording of their favourite Apple podcast this week? Something is afoot...and we get to the bottom of it all.

18: Spoooooky Voice
On this weeks fun-filled episode Yasmine tells us all about her new OnHub router. We discuss Google getting into the podcast space and if it means Russell will be sleeping on the street from now on. In more light-hearted news Olive goes to the Google Campus and we get all spooky thanks to a new analytics site from Google.
The most important take-away though? The race for Nexus 6P ownership has begun. Australia vs America. Man vs Woman. Developer vs Designer. You can slice this Amazing Race in so many ways that you just won't believe...but who will come out on top?!
