Some weeks, even listening to K-pop while prepping the rundown can't make the work go fast enough. As 2015 races to a close we've still got tons of work to do outside podcast-land, like finishing up our Pixel C and Lumia 950XL reviews and leaving the office in time to go see The Force Awakens. So you'll forgive us if we're a little pressed for time today. But not to worry: we're still gonna cover all the critical stuff from the world of mobile technology, like Sprint trying to seduce T-Mobile employees; 'Kardashian' vs 'Lardass' on your iPhone; and the smartphone with the yogurt-sounding name. 
All of the above –plus your listener mail– awaits on episode 179 of the Pocketnow Weekly! Watch the video broadcast from 1:00pm Eastern on December 18 (click here for your local time), or check out the high-quality audio version the Monday after we broadcast. And don't forget to shoot your listener mail to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air!
