The 404 Video (HQ)
Summary: A pop-cult fix for a generation that grew up playing Nintendo and watching Saturday morning cartoons, the 404 podcast, with hosts Jeff Bakalar and Justin Yu, gives you the latest news in gadgets, social media, video games, and movies with snarky commentary and the occasional tasteless joke. Get in on the show by e-mailing us at the404@cnet.com or leave us a message at 1-866-404-CNET (2638). Or join up with our Facebook group and get in on the action.

404 regular and Gizmodo Editor Peter Ha returns to the show with toys on his mind. We'll talk about Transformers and our other favorite action figures from the 90s, NY subways getting Wi-fi and cell service, a giant head in the Hudson, and the Mars Rover's subliminal messaging.
Jeff's been sent plenty of strange gifts from video game PR, but a marketing gimmick for "Beyond: Two Souls" that just came in the mail this morning has us all scratching our heads, Bridget Carey included.
Spotify trend expert Shanon Cook is our guest on today's 404 episode. She'll tell us what's cool on Spotify this week and introduce us to a few new artists. Programming note: this is a Macklemore-free show.
Mark Licea's helping us out on the engineering board for the week, and today he'll help us answer two questions: has anyone ever taken a good photo of a live band, and is it possible to lose weight playing video games?
Aunt Jill has breaking news to tell The 404! We'll also talk to her about plummeting Apple stock, the Bitcoin bubble, and the usual round of financial questions from our listeners.
With just over 300,000 people living in Iceland, it's safe to say that everyone is related. You can imagine what this does to the dating pool, so the country developed an app...to prevent incest. 100% serious.
We don't chat with guests over Skype very often, but how could we say no when Comedy Central offered us Ben Hoffman, creator and host of The Ben Show? Check out today's episode for the full interview!
Leaked from today's show: Facebook cryptography, steganography in social media, crowd-sourcing a witch hunt, and demonic portraits purposely hidden beneath waves of electronic music.
Technology can be hard to understand unless it's put into context. Such is the case with today's 404 episode, where we'll talk about the Oculus Rift VR headset and the Internet Archive's historical software collection.
A pedalocalypse will descend on New York this May when Bloomberg's Citi Bike Share plan comes to fruition. We'll weigh the pros and cons, plus Apple bikes, cell phone dial tones, a 94-year-old Tweeter, and more.
Is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity a condition we should take seriously, or is the nocebo effect making me people want to move into a dead zone in West Virginia? Bridget Carey helps us investigate.
CNET's Emily Dreyfuss makes a detour from her sojourn to Boston to say hi! We're all over the place in this episode: Jurassic Park, "Gif" pronunciation, power animals, celebrity stalking, and the thrill of the knob!
Jeff keeps complaining about the lack of gaming news on the show, so we're bringing Mark Licea on the show every Wednesday for your weekly video game update! It's like Pre-Game but with more dudes.
Leaked from today's 404: weekend experiments in public nudity, someone's downloading porn in the Vatican, burning iPhones out of respect for the dead, and an update on the Xbox "Infinity."
"FireWriter" is a far sexier way to describe an inkjet printer that uses a butane-filled blowtorch to spray pixelated images onto a variety of surfaces, so we'll just call it that.
