A weekly podcast by your friends in tech
"Looking out at the podcast landscape, I didn’t see anything that I felt reflected in, so I wanted to create something that would provide that. I always learn so much whenever we go on hikes together. I feel like everyone could benefit from being able to listen in on those conversations." - Rae Johnston
“I wanted to create a podcast that anyone listening in would immediately feel like this was for them. A smart and informative space that’s also fun and welcoming. No one has to prove themselves here because tech is for everyone.” - Tegan Jones

The Queens are hitting the road in a very special EV this week. Tegan has spent the week testing the Audi e-tron S Sportback, which costs a casual $175,000.

It's been a great week for game releases and the Queens got some sneak peaks so they can give you the low down. Tegan fulfilled her destiny by becoming a cult leader. No not in real life. Yet. She's gotten heavy into Cult of the Lamb and we're surprised she stopped playing to record the [...]
