The AI INVASION: have we already lost? plus, MACHINES LIKE ME by Ian McEwan LIVE FROM PHILLY! Our first live show! Recorded May 14th, 2019 at The Head & The Hand Books at 2644 Coral Street, Philadelphia, PA  

We look at overlooked recent headlines, plus decide if we’d prefer Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg as our new BFF. And: our first tech horror story from a listener!

We are having our first LIVE SHOW in PHILADELPHIA, PA.  DATE: This coming Tuesday, May 14, at 6pm. LOCATION: The Bookstore at the Head and the Hand,  ADDRESS: 2644 Coral Street Philadelphia, PA Come on out, Technophobians!

Joe Rogen, Bill Simmons, and Serial: We're Afraid of Podcasts Podcast Panic: Zuckerberg’s got one. So does Bill Clinton. Are podcasts destroying our souls? Plus, a smart house horror story from Josh Brener, "Big Head" from HBO's Silicon Valley!

Wearable Tech! Space Mining! A Shark Tank Knockoff! And a sexting horror story from Krystyna Hutchinson from Guys We F****d: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast (@KrystynaHutch) that will make you die a little on the inside. 

5G, dystopias, zombie alligators. Jim O’Heir (PARKS AND REC) tells us about the time he pulled a Jerry!

Mental Health, Keanu Reaves, Jurassic Park v. Terminator: Taylor&Tom take on mental health apps and dread the death of the big sci-fi mind-bender.

Deep Fakes, Dead Phones, AI in Schools. We look into the abyss that will be AI-driven video fakes and question whether we’re doing enough thinking before we swipe, tap, or click. Also, Tom and Taylor try to separate fact from fiction in a round of 40% Bullshit: real or fake tech headlines.

The future is a terrifying place...unless it isn’t. Join Taylor (a technophobe) and Tom (a technodork) each week as they explore what psyches them up and what psyches them out in the world of tomorrow.
