I’ve said it before, and I’ll likely say it again, but change is in the air. Friends and colleagues in the world of online content creation, we all seem to be looking at where we each fit. Some are focusing on an individual platform, while others, like my guest for this podcast, are spreading the wealth, and finding audiences around the web.
Trisha Hershberger is one of my dearest friends, I don’t think I’ve met anyone with the same brute force hustle she displays on a daily basis. The online game has changed a lot since she started hosting and streaming content, but few have adapted to these changing trends as gracefully.
There’s a lot someone can learn, hearing where she came from, and she has some fun news to share. Let’s jump in! Here’s a conversation with That Girl Trish.
I suffer from hidden hearing loss. My ears aren’t so damaged that I need a hearing aid, but I have an extremely hard time following conversations in busy environments.

We’re in a headphone driver arms race. Consumer dual drivers were novel. Triple drivers were exotic. Then four and five driver earbuds blew out minds. But eight. Eight is getting a bit crazy. CCA earns their price, this is a unique and interesting sound for a pair of in ear monitors, but my feelings on these buds are a bit complicated… Let’s chat… Continue reading “CCA C16 Earbuds Review: 8 Drivers PER EAR are CRAZY!”
***UPDATE 7/16/2019***
Pretty hilarious. I wanted to draw a winner live on yesterday’s podcast, but when I tried logging into Gleam, they were in the middle of a server migration and the entire site was down. You can see the carnage from the podcast here.
It took a while, but I was finally able to pick a winner. Congratulations to @warforge2004 on Twitter! And, a thank you to everyone who participated. I hope to do an international contest soon!

It’s a Pixel, but it’s cheaper! We’re a bit starved for good mid-range competition here in the United States, but at $400 (and OFTEN found for cheaper) the Pixel 3a offers a photography price / performance ratio which absolutely SHAMES more expensive premium smartphones. Let’s take a quick look at what a cheap phone can do! Continue reading “Google Pixel 3a Camera Review: Just the Conclusion”
The GOP wants to police Twitter! Microsoft is still blocking Right to Repair legislation! Jony Ive leaves Apple! Huawei is back, kinda!
