We're launching a new feature called "Listen to the Article." Experience Gear Patrol content narrated by our Editors.

Starting today, we’re going to take a break from our regularly scheduled weekly programming and devote some time to answering one important question: how can we make great podcasts worthy of a place in your listening rotation?

That's where you come in.

If you're a fan of the pod, and of Gear Patrol in general, chances are you have your own ideas about what a perfect Gear Patrol podcast would be like.

Genuinely–we want to hear from you. Email us at podcast@gearpatrol.com with all your thoughts, questions, and suggestions, and we'll do our damndest to make it happen.

Today, we talk about (shhh) white noise. Last week, Google screwed up its customers' sleep schedules with a weird Google Home software update which, says the company, impacted its "white noise experience." We talk about our reliance on tech in our home and white noise machines worth buying. Then: it looks very likely that Lamborghini is making an off-road version of its Huracan sports car. What's the point? Why make such a niche car? Lastly, Microsoft is buying the video game juggernaut Activision Blizzard for almost $70 billion. Is Halo doomed? We'll talk about what this takeover means for games and gamers.
