Hipster & Hack is a podcast from Silicon Allee taking an irreverent look at tech news stories from Berlin and beyond. Hosts David Knight and Travis Todd, a journalist and a developer respectively, have been part of the Berlin tech scene since before the iPhone, and they bring their unique perspectives to the news that matters. Each week they look at three stories, two from Berlin and one from further afield, from the comfort of SoundCloud's recording studio, before bickering about whose turn it was to buy the beer. Thankfully, Hipster & Hack's producer Maria Lorenz is on hand to shut them up when they get boring.
In this week’s Hipster & Hack, we check out home security app Buddyguard, have a grounded discussion about the Hoverboard craze thanks to Arcaboard, and get lost talking about Hudway.
In this week’s Hipster & Hack (now served up fresh every Tuesday), we cover Mark Zuckerberg’s trip to Europe, connect the dots of chat app, Telegram with the Iran elections and compare the size of an embarrassing package’s sale on eBay.
In this week’s delayed (sorry about that) Hipster & Hack, Dave is back in Berlin and we talk about Immersive couches, Chelsea Handler’s excuse app and dot com fails in our new segment Web Oversight a.k.a. URLs.
This week on Hipster & Hack, Travis tries to impress Dave with his Jukedeck jams, we discuss if Shypmate will get you nabbed by Homeland Security and everyone gets a good laugh at Joseph Gordan Levitt – ahem – Joe.
This week on Hipster & Hack, our famous segment, Unsubstantiated Apple Rumors is back, we make childish jokes about Belgian startup, Smappee, and discuss things you probably shouldn’t crowdfund.
