4.4 out of 5 stars from 93 ratings
  • Fantastic. Have loved listening to Miriam ever since I first heard her on those big group tech journalists collab podcasts I heard back in early to mid 2010s I believe during IFA, MWC etc etc. Still just as curious and passionate about tech as ever. Particularly love hearing you talk about phone/tech manufacturers outside the US bubble.

  • Different Perspective

    I appreciate Myriam’s perspective on tech but I feel like she keeps talking over the guest she’s with and it’s making it difficult for me to listen at times.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Google Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5 review, Fairphone 6+, CMF Buds Neo, and more with David Cogen of TheUnlockr
Q: Do you think Rambler and Gemini on Pixel are hardware-dependent or software-driven advantages?
They are largely software-driven features that take advantage of Google's on-device AI stack, but they are tightly integrated with hardware and the overall Pixel ecosystem to deliver a unique user experience.
Google Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5 review, Fairphone 6+, CMF Buds Neo, and more with David Cogen of TheUnlockr
Q: What is the overarching experience of the Pixel line this year, and how does it compare to hardware upgrades?
The experience is cohesive and upgraded through software and AI features like Gemini and Rambler, making the software experience feel like the main upgrade rather than just hardware improvements.
The state of mobile gaming, PlayStation ditches discs, OnePlus shuts down, Moto Edge 70 Max, Huawei Pura 90s Pro Max, Redmi Note 17 series, and more with Carl-Edwin Michel of Radio Canada
Q: Do you see a viable path for publishers to support preservation without undermining their business?
Yes—through controlled reissues, player-friendly licensing models, and collaborations with archivists and platforms that reward preservation while still monetizing new content.
Meta Glasses, Xreal 1S review, Google Fitbit Air review, Sony Xperia 1 VIII impressions, Nothing Phone (4b) teaser, and more with YouTube creator Joshua Vergara
Q: What are your thoughts on the Meta Glasses pricing and privacy implications?
Pricing at $299 is competitive for the segment, but the real value depends on privacy and how aggressively you leverage the AI and camera features; there's a tension between affordability and concerns about data use, which will influence adoption.
The state of smartglasses, Xreal project Aura, smartglasses at Google I/O, Realme 16T, Xiaomi 17T Pro, Oppo Reno 16 series, and more with Nick Sutrich of Android Central
Q: How do you compare Aura with the current Meta Ray-Ban displays and other AR glasses in terms of usability and future prospects?
The host emphasizes Aura as a VR headset-in-glass form factor with hand tracking and a Compute Puck, which could deliver more capable experiences than small-scope wearables, while Nick points out Aura's reliance on a tethered model and the importance of software ecosystems; both agree the next few years will reveal whether these devices become mainstream or stay niche gadgets.
