An Ace in the hole, temperature control, and avoiding real estate agents
The We Review Stuff crew are back on the airwaves with a new format and three fresh items to compete for a spot on our list of the best stuff.
Join Anula, Brodie, Fergus and Alex as they fight the winter weather, argue about the price of audio gear and find both an unexpected ally and common cause in the struggle against the tyranny of physical paperwork.
In this episode, we review the Ember Mug 2, the Sonos Ace over-ear headphones and… DocuSign?

Fergus goes off theme, Anula’s Roman Empire, and Adam’s death wish
It’s almost Christmas and this extra festive episode of We Review Stuff won’t let you forget it. Fergus Halliday refuses to get with the program but Anula Wiwatowska has a holiday recommendation that might melt away his cynicism and break his heart in equal parts. Meanwhile, Adam Smith proves it’s possible to bring a little too much holiday cheer to the table. Folks, it finally happened. We found something worse than the Threads tablet app! A Christmas miracle!

All right, seriously though, Alex, Fergus, Adam and Anula aren’t here to crack jokes and make friends. They’re here to put three more items on our list of the best stuff.

A sticky situation, hairballs for gold, and a controversial crustacean
The third time’s the charm as Alex, Fergus, Adam and Safewise writer Hannah Geremia throw three more things on The List and fight off the fiercest advocacy for edible entrants yet. It’s high-tech versus high in Omega 3.

A Threadful app, a crippling addiction, and an inconvenient nostalgia trip
Look, they can’t all be winners but working out what could possibly be worse than the burger that sits at the bottom of the scoreboard might be easier said than done.
This time around, we review:

Cranking It, Universal Standards, and the Cheapest Feed Around
Welcome to the first episode of We Review Stuff, a podcast from Reviews.org featuring Anula Wiwatowska, Brodie Fogg, Fergus Halliday, Alex Choros, and Adam Smith. In each episode, we’ll review three new things - two techy, one wildcard - and add them to our list of the best stuff. It’s sort of like show-and-tell, minus the first part and with a lot of added arguing.
In this one, a chaotic landgrab ensues as we review:
- The USB-C port on the iPhone 15
- The Playdate gaming console
- The Hungry Jack’s $2.50 BBQ cheeseburger

We Review Stuff - the tech podcast where we review stuff
We Review Stuff has but one goal, to definitively decide what the best thing is. Every week the Reviews.org Australia team will put their skills to the test, and review two pieces of consumer tech and one wildcard item before ranking them on The List.
Only one item can hold first place on The List, and the crew won’t stop until they all agree on the ultimate winner. The team will fight tooth and nail, make alliances, and concoct trade deals to secure their review items their rightful rank on The List. Is USB-C on the iPhone better than a $2.50 cheeseburger? Could anything be worse than the Threads tablet app?
Join us for new episodes every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts.
