"In a space dominated by blokey blokes, or the kind of rambling 'matescast' thatâs always in desperate need of an editor, it stands out because the friendships of the hosts are on display, but the show stays firmly on topic."

The Queens attempt a digital detox, and all end up feeling like failures - but, it turns out the trend is a little more complicated than it seems.
And, by popular demand, we tackle the complex and ethically questionably topic of NFTs. From minting ridiculous memes (including a tweet of Tegan's butt), to the impact on artists, IP and the environment.
Rad gets literally hands-on with her first semi-ergonomic mouse, Amanda gets a rash from her Fitbit and Tegan falls in love with a Samsung 8K TV.
Meanwhile, Rae is lured back into the world of smart homes...and has some questions. So, Tegan tells us how easy it is to hack unsecured devices through a relatively simple Google search.
Rae experiences some beauty tech, Amanda creates Smart Craft and Tegan gleefully plays with Oppo's rollable concept phone.
The Queens also ponder which fictional sci-fi tech they would like to see in the real world - including 'bag babies', Babel Fish and - strangely - Tubby Custard.
This week the Queens talk ghost tech! Learn about 19th-century 'ectoplasm', the Xbox Kinect and other gadgets used by ghost hunters, and how Rad got a haunted knee playing Just Dance.
Back in the real world, Amanda plans to farm mermaids, Rad explains mesh Wi-Fi and Tegan gets historically sinful.

Plus: Tegan nerds out over Elon Musk's Starlink coming to Australia, Rae makes everyone smell PlayStation candles, and the Queens finally get internet.
In this episode (our favourite yet!) we take a look at some of the most cooked (but funny) internet-driven conspiracy theories - as well as a bit of the serious science as to why they happen.
Plus: Rae gets a printer in 2021, Rad won't stop talking about vacuums and Amanda just loves a nice old fashioned cold box.
Don't forget to listen to after the credits for more gratuitous content!
This week we torture Amanda over Persona 5, Tegan gives her verdict on Apple's casual $900 AirPods Max, we get disturbingly excited about clicky chargers and the Queen Bee Detective Agency solves a mystery.
And later in the show we take a dive into cybersecurity and discover just how bad some of us are at it.
