This week the nerdy, but totally good-looking, Jules and Stocks bounce into a huge week of podcast and tech news. From Spotify’s exciting new AI plans, to kids not watching podcasts on YouTube. Plus, they deep dive into companion podcasts (just in time for the last episode of Succession on HBO) and chat about how enriching they can be for the serious series watcher. Jules mentions ABBA for the second week running and Stocks kicks it all off with a heartfelt apology.
