A weekly podcast by your friends in tech
In this gadget chat, the Queens are getting comfy. Rad invested in "the world's most comfortable basecamp mat" - the Exped Megamat Duo LW+ air mattress that has a very interesting way of inflating and deflating. Rae slept on it, so also gives her thoughts. And Rae has been spending a fair chunk of time [...]
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 [...]

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. [...]
