• New year, new AI
    Jan 26 2025

    We start the year off strong with a deep-dive into the wacky world of AI, how the Silicon Valley dictators are implementing it in questionable ways, and what we're expecting from the tech this year.

    This time around, Nick and Marce brings you the juicy details.

    Welcome to 2025, another year of AI.

  • The404 gets stuck in Hyrule
    Oct 28 2024

    After a short(ish) hiatus from the microphone *(we literally had to hide them from Nick), we’re back. And we’re just a tad different. Not as people, but as a gang. We’ve gained another voice in the shape of the lovely Emily Stander, and we have a new look.

    This week, expect some Secret Level discussions, a lot of Zelda lore, and just a tad of F.E.A.R.

  • The404 fights an owl
    May 22 2024

    We're back, and Nick Cowen's on the mic, along with Marce and Brad. In the news, Amazon launched its coza domain - what does it mean for South African shoppers? And Xbox is slimming down for some reason.

    The team puts their foreign language skills to the test with a popular language app and dives into what they've been up to recently.

  • The404 goes nuclear
    May 2 2024

    Yes, we're back after a short hiatus in which our editor-in-chief Marce managed to bring a whole new human into this world. Now the team's back at it, talking trash and taking games.


    This week, we delve into the fantastically horrific and wonderfully funny world of Fallout. Did the new Amazon Prime series prompt us to play the games? Listen to find out who dove back in...


    We also touch on TikTok's latest US sanction, the latest from Dennis Villeneuve and a Soulslike like no other.

  • The 404 would rather be playing Helldivers 2
    Mar 11 2024

    This week, listeners are treated to what we call 'The Nad Show' - where Nick and Brad discuss... ahem, quite passionately, what they think about the gaming industry.

    Nick takes to the high seas with some meaningful insight into Skull and Bones, Ubisoft's latest arrival. We also find Brad's commentary on Helldivers 2 spot on.

  • The404 struggles with sleep rapnea
    Feb 6 2024

    This week, Nick Cowen guides us through the sands of time, as Max discusses his review of The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown by Ubisoft. The team also discusses Ben Shapiro's... ahem... rap single, and Universal pulling its music library from TikTok.


    Then we also bid farewell to Marce who will soon go on maternity leave. She'll be back as soon as she feels human again.


    Brad also breaks stereotypes by being the first 20-something we know who's been diagnosed with sleep apnea. He's keen to break that stigma, it seems.

  • The404 takes to the high seas
    Jan 22 2024

    The new year's dawned, and we're prepared to beam even more interesting geeky, techy and... useless information about the nerd world into your ears in 2024.

    This week, Nick's sultry host voice takes us on a journey through Skull and Bones, the pirate game that's taken way too long for comfort. We also touch on the most impressive tech seen at the Consumer Electronics Show 2024, and Brad convinces the whole team that Kindle is the way forward for the literary inclined among us.

  • The 404's longest podcast yet
    Dec 14 2023

    Elon Musk's sticking the finger to advertisers, and we dip our toes into the Game Awards 2023 with... so many opinions.

    Nick, Dupre and resident gen-Zer Max reminisce about their top games going back... way further than 2023. We also see in-depth discussions about everything announced during the showcase.

    Max gets quizzed, fairly successfully. Dupre gives us the rundown on recent gaming and geek-fandom expo rAge. And Nick goes on and on about another crime show on Showmax named Convict Conman, which sounds worth checking out.
