Welcome to Weekly Roundup, our podcast discussing the latest tech trends, innovation and news from the last few days.
This week on BurnCast, Senior Reporter Stuart Thomas talks to Gearburn Editor Andy Walker and Reporters Jacques Coetzee and Graham van der Made.
No ad to show here.
The team talks about the SONA hitting all the right notes on social media whilst Jacob Zuma hit all the wrong ones in his speech, Twitter’s Q4 2015 earnings, French insurance giant AXA buying an eight percent stake in Africa Internet Group (AIG), one of the continent’s largest ecommerce players, for over €75-million (over US$83-million) and Quantum Break PC release.
The team speaks about what they are watching, reading and listening to. Jacques is hooked on a Netflix original series, Andy is playing many games he cannot talk about, Stu is listening to Serial podcast and Graham is watching Deadpool this weekend (Jacques is not impressed that he read the reviews).
And the Tweet of the week, for the second week in a row, has something to do with the South African president, Jacob Zuma, offering to pay back the money.
