Week 29: Xbox Series S reveal, all the IFA news and Eastenders season 2

As usual we're talking about a variety of topics from the world of tech. We begin the show with this week's Big Question: after a sea-smelling machine was announced at IFA, what smell would you add to a piece of tech and why?

We also share our thoughts on the Xbox Series S price and reveal, the Apple event that was supposed to take place on September 15, as well as why we thought IFA was a let down. Plus, we also chat about the long-running British soap, Eastenders.

Meanwhile, this week's Unpopular Opinion is... why are laptop configurations so different in the US and the UK? You'll have to tune in to find out what we thought.

For all this and more, tune into the all-new Noise Cancelling podcast – you can subscribe on Spotify, grab it on Apple podcasts, or find us wherever you get your pods. New episodes land every Friday.
