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

It's a brand new years and with it brings a big announcement from your favourite Queens. We've launched a Patreon! After two years of running the pod and being asked countless times, we're finally doing it! We have some really fun stuff in there, including a brand new weekly newsletter and an exclusive Discord for [...]
In this episode the Queens are heading off to the land of nod to explore the (sometimes terrifying) science behind sleep. As it turns out, global warming is here to ruin the party again as it slowly erodes sleep across the world. So that's fun. Meanwhile, sleep deprivation is extremely harmful for the body and [...]
Later this week the Queens are delving into the science of sleep. So Rad wanted us to try and review some sleep-related gadgets to match... with mixed results. Rad checks out the Emma Cloud Hybrid Pillow while Amanda argues why a very bad treadmill app is absolutely linked to sleep probably. The 1.5 star review [...]
The Queens are firing up the dusty old printer in the corner of your office... or are they? In this episode the Queens do tackle printing tech... but it went in directions nobody expected. Rad is the most normal of the lot, looking at the importance of certain inks and paper - especially when it [...]
In this episode the Queens head to the South Pole as Amanda reviews survivor RPG The Pale Beyond. Rae brings along a deep dive on the GHD Duet Style and Rad packs a Milwaukee M12 FUEL orbital detail sander. Tegan just brings vibes. And if you want more Queens and want to support the show, [...]
In this episode, the Queens answer a listener's question. Our favourite (so far) three-and-a-half-star patron, Tracey, wanted to know all about clearing 'docs and data' off her iPad, and the best storage for digital photos and videos - so the Queens are on the case! And if you want more Queens and want to support [...]
This week the Queens are trawling the tepid depths of the ocean as Tegan drags them into her review of Eldritch fishing game, Dredge. Full of mystery, insanity and some very disturbing fish, you have to cast your nets far and wide as you explore different islands to solve the mystery of why this particular [...]
Ah, the beautiful bean juice. We use it to increase our productivity, delight the tastebuds, and as a thinly veiled way to busy our hands when catching up with friends or new acquaintances. Coffee is a pretty central part of the Australian experience, and we couldn't be more stoked to chat about it! In this [...]
We're kicking off an entire week dedicated to our favourite type of morning brown, coffee! More on that in the deep dive later in the week, but for now Tegan and Rad review a couple of De'Longhi espresso machines - the Eletta Explore and the Specialista Maestro with Cold Brew. De'Longhi didn't sponsor this ep, [...]
Since first launching at the end of November 2022, ChatGPT has taken over our news and social media feeds. While AI has been around for awhile now, this is one of the first times that it has been used at such a critical mass by so many regular users simultaneously, and that’s a big deal. [...]
It's a real big gadget chat this week - quite literally in Tegan's case because she recently got behind the wheel of the 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak. It's a whole lot of ute and she took it camping in zero-reception territory to really put it to the test. We don't want to spoil the finer [...]
