#SGGQA 308 Special Edition: How I Became a Samsung HATER (and YOU can TOO!)

Happy Monday!

While traveling, I’ve pre-recorded this podcast in advance of this week’s Samsung Unpacked event. A bit serious and a bit tongue in cheek, here’s how I transitioned from die-hard Samsung Knight to insufferable hater.
