The A Tech Affair podcast covers as many topics as Digitec's product range. The tech editorial team discusses everything that moves the tech world. They also provide background information on films and series. And for the gaming scene, there's a critical look at new releases. The hosts also provide expert analyses. All of them have years of expertise in their subject areas. Nevertheless, it's all very serious here. The participants have known each other for too long not to tease each other.

Hosts

Philipp Rüegg

Phil uses Game Pass so extensively that Microsoft is considering abolishing it. No game is safe from the insatiable gaming aficionado. The fewer pixels a game has, the greater the likelihood that Phil has already played it. Every week in the A Tech Affair podcast, Phil takes on the task of channelling the torrent of talk into meaningful channels. A truly epic quest. He proves to be a master of stylish and elegant transitions.

Luca Fontana

Luca is living proof that our parents were lying: There are no square eyes from watching too much TV. Rumour has it that he was already watching «Star Wars» films and reading Marvel comics in his mother's womb. Today, after many years of field research, he knows his way around the Disney universe better than Al Capone in 1930s Chicago. He uses the same password for his 14 streaming subscriptions because otherwise he would forget them. The only people who are allowed to disturb him in his «work» are his two cats.

Domagoj Belancic

If anyone games more than Phil, it would be Domi. If his dog didn't regularly drag him out into the sunlight, he would have long since collected all the platinum trophies on the Playstation. His heart also burns for another well-known Japanese company, Nintendo. This is proven by the various retro consoles that adorn his office, as well as his encyclopaedic knowledge of all Pokémon - even those that have yet to be invented.

Samuel Buchmann

Snapping and climbing. This aptly describes Samuel. His heart beats for photography, whether analogue or with an overpriced Hasselblad, at the price of which others buy a car. The cameras are used when travelling or on rock faces at dizzying heights. Naturally, he edits the images on a Mac. Whether it's his headphones, smartphone or laptop, Samuel is deeply rooted in the garden of the nibbled apple. Unless he's playing «Diablo IV», in which case he's a stranger to Windows for a change.

Michelle Brändle

While others break out in a sweat just drawing a stick figure, Michelle uses every tablet test as a template for digital artwork. Somewhat more tangible are those from the 3D printer, which regularly model her smartphone reviews. The gadget enthusiasm that almost every new member of the editorial team succumbs to is evident on their desk, which is flanked by a home-made RGB keyboard and matching RGB mouse. She only feels even more emotion, which even gets under her skin in the form of tattoos, for Pokémon. If it weren't for the Nintendo grouch Philipp, the pocket monster trio Michelle, Luca and Domi would have long since turned the podcast into a Poké cast.

Florian Bodoky

Internet security and data protection are two of his favourite topics. Whether cyberattacks, phishing emails or browser malware - Flo knows every recipe. His favourite way to prepare his dishes is on his trusty Macbook. He doesn't get lost in the Windows jungle that often any more. Except when he wants to game «Counter-Strike». But even then, thanks to the Parallels software, he remains loyal to the bitten apple world. He also sometimes has to take a bite out of his football club's performance. Because despite his adopted home of Winterthur, his heart still beats red and blue.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.

From the latest iPhone to the return of 80s fashion. The editorial team will help you make sense of it all.
