7: Alphabet Soup

A is for Android. G is for Google. W is for WTF. This week our hosts try to dissect the news that Google is rebranding parts of itself under the 'Alphabet' umbrella. What does it all mean? Will there still be free burritos? All this and our hosts still manage to pack in a few listener questions. It's like a gift to you, on your birthday. Happy birthday! Yes you, yes we know, it's your birthday! Google told us so.
