Three men, three continents, three wildly disparate time zones: it’s the perfect storm for a rantfest of epic proportions this week on The Verge Mobile Podcast. This episode lacks Bohn but compensates with a healthy dose of Pallenberg to smooth over the passive-aggressive undertones that constantly hum between Ziegler and Savov, with Nokia and Instagram weighing heavily on everyone’s touchscreen. Cop it like it’s hot!
