This Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: Summer Doldrums

As you may expect, the summer can be a slow period for tech journalists. But since we’re obsessed with startups, there’s still plenty of new stuff to discuss this week on the TC Gadgets Podcast.

For one, we look at the new Evoke induction-based vaporizer, as well as a new piece of hardware called the GoTenna, which lets you send messages on your phone without any connectivity whatsoever. But first, we take a look at the Microsoft/Nokia job cuts and what that means for the future of the two tech giants.

We discuss all this and more on this week’s episode of the TC Gadgets Podcast featuring Matt BurnsJordan Crook, and Natasha Lomas.

Have a good Friday, everybody!

We invite you to enjoy our weekly podcasts every Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern and noon Pacific. And feel free to check out the TechCrunch Gadgets Flipboard magazine right here.
