Episode Synopsis


Welcome to episode 2 of The Sideload, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Will is joined by Noah Dentzel, CEO and co-founder of Nomad, and Harvey Hunerberg, Associate Director of Product Management at Nomad, to discuss their company's new expansion into Pixel accessories, beginning with Pixel Watch straps. From the decision to launch accessories for Pixel after primarily focusing on the Apple ecosystem to how tariffs affect companies like Nomad, it's a pretty fun — if in-depth — conversation. Plus, Will gets to nerd out on just how excited he is for a Qi2-dominant world, and we get a quick tease for what could be next from Nomad.
