We’re back to serve you more of our insightful tech chat in this second episode of our podcast; the appropriately named TechRadar Podcast.

In this episode you’ll find in-depth analysis of the industry’s sustainability practices – including our tips for how you can be more green with your gadgets – as well as our thoughts on the latest AI wearables: the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin. We also give you a breakdown of what we think of the brand new iPad Pro (2024) and iPad Air 6 tablets that Apple just unveiled.

To discuss these topics and more, we’ve brought back Managing Editor, Lifestyle Josephine Watson as well as our Editor at Large Lance Ulanoff from episode one. They’re joined by Matt Bolton – our Managing Editor, Entertainment – and TechRadar’s Global Editor in Chief Marc Mclaren. I also make a very brief appearance to run you through the month’s biggest tech news stories.

In this second episode:

  • We talk sustainability in tech, and discuss whether you should or shouldn’t by second-hand gadgets
  • Lance shows off his refurbished Game Boy
  • We discuss the terrible AI wearable reviews, and whether these reviews spell doom for the products
  • Matt helps us find the best shower speaker
  • Marc explains how Tetris saved his life (as well as an airplane full of people)
