Hipster & Hack is a podcast from Silicon Allee taking an irreverent look at tech news stories from Berlin and beyond. Hosts David Knight and Travis Todd, a journalist and a developer respectively, have been part of the Berlin tech scene since before the iPhone, and they bring their unique perspectives to the news that matters. Each week they look at three stories, two from Berlin and one from further afield, from the comfort of SoundCloud's recording studio, before bickering about whose turn it was to buy the beer. Thankfully, Hipster & Hack's producer Maria Lorenz is on hand to shut them up when they get boring.
