Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is the tech podcast that brings you up to date with what in the world is going on with tech and culture and why it even matters! Join Sam Jay and Shammah as these so claimed “professional” overthinkers bring you what happening with the tech world. From AI and deep learning to dating apps, memes, and whatever Elon’s tweeting this week—Sam, Shammah, and Jay are here to unpack the wild world of tech, one chaotic update at a time. It’s not just about the headlines—it’s about how this stuff actually affects your life, your relationships, and your group chats. With a mix of hot takes, deep dives, and occasional spirals into existential dread, these three aren’t tech experts—they’re just your favourite group chat IRL, trying to make sense of the digital madness with a lot of laughs and a little insight. If you’ve ever felt like tech is moving faster than your brain can refresh, you’re in the right place. Listen to more from our Hope Podcasts collection at hopepodcasts.com.au. And send the team a message via Hope 103.2’s app, Facebook or Instagram.
