S4A Podcast Ep. 5 | Mobile World Congress Wrap-up + What Comes After Smartphones?
Mobile World Congress is over and we wrap up the big news behind the event includes the new Samsung Galaxy S9, LG V30S Thin Q, Nokia 8110 (The Matrix Phone is back!!), and a phone that actually is innovative. But, you probably won't buy it.
That brings us to the question, what comes after smartphones? If we hit the ceiling of what can be done with a smartphone, what can take it's place as the center hub of our world. It's with this question, we explain why the cloud will replace the phone as the center of your life.
We also expose you to Lucas the Spider - an amazing cute animated spider. And Anchor - a cool platform for hosting a new podcast.
Finally, we talk about some poor MoviePass experiences - one was Titus's fault...
Don't miss the bonus podcast episode next week where we talk about Up and Vanished (Spoilers!).

Let's Discuss Serial Season 1 (Bonus Episode)
Serial is a podcast that ends with a lot of questions, and although we don't have real answers, there is a lot to discuss. In this bonus episode of The Search For Awesome Podcast, Titus and Mikee discuss the case and whether we think Adnan is guilty or innocent and if he should have been convicted with the known evidence.
This is full of spoilers so if you haven't listened to Serial, you might want to do that before listening in.

Amazon recently took ads off their prime phones - these were phones they were selling at a discount so they could put ads on the devices - bit of an odd move.

We bought into the Brainwavez IEM Grab Bag and we unbox them to see what we got. We're guaranteed something valued at the price of the buy in, but there are plenty of chances of getting something even better!
The MoviePass CEO, Mitch Lowe has commented on the recent developments that they are tracking our data. People have been uncomfortable since we got details on how much they might be tracking.
Several YouTubers are under fire from a recent Dyson Ad campaign where they each had a sponsored video featuring the their new vacuum. We have some comments on that and discuss what's the appropriate way to disclose brand partnerships.
PUBG has beaten Fortnight to mobile and their app is now live on Android and iOS. But we have some concerns because PUBG is still in development on Xbox One.
Lastly, have you ever wanted to relive your favorite old show or movie? Samsung might be able to help you forget a show/movie so you can watch it for the first time once again.

Should I Buy the OnePlus 6? + Google IO Top 5 | S4A Podcast EP. 9
The OnePlus 6 is a solid phone at a solid price - it's less flash and more substance. It rocks dual cameras on the back and specs on par and better in some ways than the Samsung Galaxy S9 at a price starting at just $529.
Google IO had several cool announcements including Pretty Please for Kids, several features to manage your phone habits, Google Lens, Android P announcement with a nice UI update, and probably the craziest announcement - Google Duplex.
MoviePass had some big news and let's be honest - they are in trouble. We also talk about Google Drive changing to Google One and some initial thoughts on Cobra Kai.

Is Facebook a Monopoly? + YouTube Red is now YouTube Premium | S4A Podcast EP. 10
A new group called Freedom from Facebook has emerged and wants Facebook to be broken up because they claim they have a monopoly and way too much power. YouTube Red is changing lots of things and is now YouTube Premium.
Red has a new phone coming out soon that is really interesting, but the price starts at a whooping $1300. And really odd - consumer reports can't recommend the Tesla Model 3 because of some safety concerns.
