Comfort Zone is a podcast that pushes its hosts outside of their, well, comfort zone. Every week, each host will bring new technology they've tried to the show to discuss whether it worked and how it pushed them out of their comfort zone.
Then, at the conclusion of each episode, one of the hosts will issue the dreaded challenge to the others to try something new, and perhaps even something they might not like. It's a fun, fresh way to learn something new, along with the hosts every week.

Who among Us Is Sane?
Niléane has a social media surprise, Matt tries to take his email to superhuman levels, and Chris blows his hair back with Wi-Fi speeds you wouldn't believe. Then we reflect on last week's very chill challenge before jumping into the next one where we must be nice.

I think it's pretty safe, and here's why
Matt goes Infinite, Chris embraces Nothing, and Niléane tries to make a Frame…work. Oh, and we discover two of the hosts have sane travel bags and the other is a maniac.

I’m Known on My iPad as an iPad Guy
Welcome to Comfort Zone! This is a show about exploring new and interesting tech, and stepping outside your comfort zone to expand your horizons (whether you want to or not).
In this debut episode, we talk about what Apple should steal from the Meta Quest 3, how an iPad enthusiast takes advantage of a new Mac, and how precious family photos were saved from being lost to time.
Then there's the challenge! We all spent a few weeks using Apple Reminders for task management, and our challenge for week 2 is something none of us saw coming…

These podcasts are so funny!
Im a very big tech nerd and hearing others sharing this same passion is awesome. I have started to use some of the stuff you guys talk about! I 100% suggest this if you love learning and using technology.
Interesting Topics
I find myself learning about new technology through the podcast I wouldn't normally, and I enjoy the host's rapport. Looking forward to new episodes!
