On this week’s episode of You Asked, Chris Hagan is joined by John McCann and Gareth Beavis to tackle your latest tech questions. John dives into the buzz around the sub-$20K Slate Truck, a no-frills EV designed for customization and utility. Then, Gareth unpacks the state of smartphones—what’s exciting, what’s stalled, and whether foldables are finally delivering on their promise. Plus, Chris breaks down soundbar picks under $600 and why directors keep using that ultra-wide 21:9 movie format.

Check back every Sunday at 7:45 AM PT for new episodes of You Asked.
