With Austin separated from his microphone because of a snowstorm, Janine and Ali (who herself had to record on a travel mic) return to chat about the rise of Devices. You know? Gadgets? Geegaws? Retro emulation handhelds? Also, we have a classic Friends at the Table “Now is not the time for this diversionary topic” followed by 30 full minutes on the diversionary topic.
It’s a good podcast.
