CES 2017 is over and we're all back home, but before we left Las Vegas, we gathered around the microphone for one of our favorite trade show traditions: the mega cross-site podcast!

It's long, it's rambling, it's occasionally afflicted with electronic noise because somebody's phone was desperately searching for signal (sorry about that), it's jam-packed with discussion of dozens of gadgets — it's the CES 2017 Android Central and Windows Central podcast!
