This week, Hadlee Simons plays host and talks to Matthew Alexander and Andy Walker.

The team discusses this week’s Leslie Jones‘ website hack, the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, as well as FNB’s own ConeXis smartphone range. We also talk about a startup that’s letting people order drinks on demand, Bottles, and we touch on the imminent release of the movie Sausage Party.

What on earth is Sausage Party?

What are we watching, reading, playing: Matt has given up on No Man’s Sky, Hadlee is playing F1 2016 and Andy is learning how to take apart PlayStations. He also thinks that his PlayStation 4 might have had a spiritual death, since he hasn’t switched it on all week.
