A weekly podcast by your friends in tech
We usually have to smash through reviews in a matter of weeks here at Queens of the Drone Age. So many gadgets, so little time. But we also really value lived experience and the more in-depth perspective that gives us on products long-term. So in this episode we're looking at some of the things we [...]
The Queens have spent the last few months thoroughly testing the Apple Watch Series 8 AND the brand new Apple Watch Ultra. While they probably won't be engaging in extreme sports anytime soon, even the most skeptical of Queens found themselves surprised by their love of the new mad lad, even on their small bird [...]
This week's deep dive is a little more literal as the Queens take a look at seaweed and what's being done with it to help save the planet. Tegan covers Perth-based startup ULUU, which is using beer brewing techniques to turn seaweed into an alternative to plastics. This is a big deal, because seaweed captures [...]
This episode the Queens are trying three very different gadgets. Rae's dog Mia had a canine cold and was coughing phlegm up all over the carpet, so she invested in a Bissell Stain Eraser Pet. It's a wet vac that is specifically designed to clean up pet mess and is even cordless! Rad and Tegan [...]

This also means the holiday season is here, so the Queens are making some cheeky gift suggestions for you to get your loved ones - especially if its for yourself.

In this episode the Queens travel back to 16th century Bavaria to help solve a murder mystery that spans almost 25 years. Well, not literally.

In this very special gadget chat, Rad and Rae are left to their own devices to test, well, some devices. On the tech menu this week is the brand new Apple TV 4K, the AnkerWork B600 Video Bar and the very fancy July luggage. As a sidebar, Tegan has also been testing a July backpack, [...]
If you've been online at all over the past few weeks, you've probably caught a whiff of rapid decline of Twitter. Since Elon Musk was forced to spend a cool court-ordered US$44 billion on the platform, each day has brought a fresh crop of twists, turns, backflips, and of course, memes. If it feels like [...]
If you wanted to get depressed, boy we have an episode for you. This week we're looking at some of the things that are contributing to or being caused by climate change. Rad explains urban heat islands and how city infrastructure is significantly heating up specific pockets of land across the country. She also looks [...]
In the episode the Queens are reviewing environmentally focused products in the lead up to to their climate change deep dive later in the week. Stay tuned for that one! Rae spills the tea on the Philips Eco Conscious kettle and toaster, which is made from sustainable bio plastics. She also looks at what that [...]
