Welcome to The Sideload episode 13, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will welcomes Android Authority‘s News Editor Stephen Schenck to the show to discuss some of their collective favorite tech failures of all time. From relitigating whether Stadia could’ve been a success to fawning over the sheer simplicity of the Chromecast Audio, it’s a walk through some of tech’s roughest moments — moments that we might’ve loved even if the rest of the world did not.
