Material #19: The Great Nexus Race⇢

I left the warm embrace of Connected to go hang out with the Material hosts for this week’s episode. I just love this:

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.

Episode 1 is out now. If you enjoyed Build and Analyze or Developing Perspective, you’ll love this show.

The Incomparable #268: Let’s Hear It for Botanists⇢

I joined the gang at The Incomparable to talk more about The Martian:

We all went and watched “The Martian” at movie theaters and then came home and joined together to talk about it! From Vicodin-topped potatoes to shiny zoomy space stuff, we work the problem to provide something a bit more informative than a Tumblr full of sad pictures.
