We had a lot of ground to cover this week, with lots of new Google announcements, addressing various outrage, and turning ordering lunch into a brutal grudge match. You can subscribe on iTunes, add us on Stitcher, follow us on Anchor, or join us on Spotify. And be sure to follow us on Twitter to brag about your scores, make fun of our wrong answers, or share pictures of your lunch. Here’s a peek at what to expect from this week’s show.
Techathlon Decathlon
Last week, Rob’s long reign as champion came to an end. Can he regain the crown? That all depends on how much he knows about the announcements from Google’s I/O conference, Uber’s IPO, and adorable emojis.
Us vs. the Internet
Once of the best parts of having a podcast is having a platform for sharing our opinions. In this game, we take on some of the internet’s strongest opinions, including the merits of cheap phones, Facebook’s latest privacy promises, and the benefits of a vertical TV. (Remember, our Twitter is @TechathlonShow if you’d like to vehemently agree with any of us.)
Delivery Derby
This Sunday, millions of people will plunk themselves down on the couch for the series finale of Game of Thrones. And what goes better with dragons and warfare than boneless wings and curly fries? In this game, our contestants each order food with an app on their phones and the first food to arrive is the winner. What’s the best strategy? Order something from a place that’s really close to cut down on transport time? Pick a food that’s pre-made so there’s no prep involved? Listen and find out.
