Here’s what we’re talking about on the GeekWire Podcast this week:

The new Microsoft dual-screen Surface Duo device has arrived and we have our first impressions. We're intrigued, but it's pricey (starting at $1,399) and it needs more work. And do we really need yet another device?

Microsoft is becoming the de-facto virtual fan experience enabler for sports leagues. First they deployed Teams to the NBA  and now they're sending it to help the NFL. But the experience between the two sports isn't the same, and we tell you which one is best.

The West Coast is being choked in a blanket of wildfire smoke and Seattle is getting hit hard. Why are wildfires becoming so bad, and how can you stay safe from the smoke?

With GeekWire’s Todd Bishop and Taylor Soper. Produced by Curt Milton. Theme music by Daniel L.K. Caldwell.
