    Talking Tech (and a Bit of Everything Else) with Stephen Robles

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. This week's episode is a bit different - a bonus, off-schedule conversation with Stephen Robles, tech reviewer and co-host of the Primary Technology podcast. We sat down for a proper chat rather than a scripted news rundown, so this one goes wherever it goes - everyday tech setups, his honest take on the current state of smart glasses and wearables and in general our ives in tech. Along the way we also play a quick trivia-style game, and Stephen turns the tables to ask me a few questions of his own. If you're used to the usual headline format, expect something looser this time - less script, more just talking tech with someone who's been doing this a lot longer than me. Find Stephen's channel and podcast linked below, and if you're enjoying The Tech Stack Podcast, following really helps - trying to hit 500 subscribers by the end of the year!
