If you've been listening to The Twist Podcast for any length of time, you know that Mark and Rick have opinions about things. Culture, politics, food, entertainment, the general state of the world as it lurches forward into whatever this era is going to be called when historians get around to naming it.

So we did what any reasonable pair of podcasters would do: we cloned ourselves.

Yes, really. Meet the android versions of Mark and Rick — same voices, same sensibilities, significantly less coffee dependency — and they're here every Sunday with The Twist Podcast: Android News Sunday Edition, your weekly roundup of everything worth knowing and a few things worth arguing about. Will we go weekly? If the interest is there and we can hire more robots.

Each week we're covering four beats: culture, politics, food trends, and entertainment. Politics, because ignoring it hasn't been working out great for anyone. Culture, because it tells you more about where we're headed than the news does. Food trends, because you deserve to know that beef tallow is making a comeback and tiramisu is officially everywhere. And entertainment, because even in complicated times the shows we watch and the stories we tell matter.

New episodes drop every Sunday. Find us wherever you've always found The Twist, same feed, no new subscriptions required.
