Today on the show Steven and Shaun dive into the inbox for the first in our weekly series of “App of the Week” featuring your favourite apps and why others might liike them. We also welcome disability and technology advocate Colin Hughes back to discuss the upcoming Apple Event and why he thinks Meta are missing a trick when it comes to their Ray-Ban smart glasses. As always, the show begins with a catchup between Steven and Shaun, with Shaun telling us about his weekend away coming up at a rather fancy hotel. They both share their packing plans when going away, and discuss the best way to assess and use the features of a hotel room. In our new “App of the Week” feature, listeners Gordon and Dennis share their lists of favourite apps including Be My Eyes, Seeing AI, OoTunes and Mona for Mastodon. Get in touch using the details below to share your suggestions. Our special guest today is Colin Hughes, a long time disability and technology advocate, who talks to Steven about his experience of the Apple beta software ahead of its launch over the next month, as well as discussing his annoyance at the Apple Watch as a person who lives with muscular dystrophy, and why he believes Meta need to better understand the value their Ray-Ban smart glasses can have on the disability community.

First, Mike McGee shares how Twitter has launched a "hide replies" feature, which aims to civilize conversations on the platform. With the click of a button, a person will be able to hide specific replies to their tweets, filtering out any remarks ranging from irrelevant to offensive. Last week, hundreds of Amazon employees spoke out against Amazon's environmental footprint. In response, Jeff Besos has proposed a new Climate Change Plan, which commits the company to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Lastly, the app of the week, "lilspace," is a digital wellness company that will inspire you to unplug and spend more time with real live people doing real-life things.
Wouldn't it be nice to escape all the upsetting news for just a little while? Mike McGee joins Jill Hopkins in discussion about how we could possibly censor crappy news from our feeds. First, the two talk about Chrissy Teigen's suggested Twitter feature called the "I'm emotional" feed, which filters out negative content while highlighting more lighthearted posts about puppies or wholesome memes. Next, the app "Gem" shares news stories at a pace set by the user while also working to balance out sensationalism, click-bait, and fishy algorithms seen in general news coverage. Lastly, Mike and Jill ponder the fall of SpaceLife Origin, a startup focused on conceiving and delivering babies... in space! Tune in to hear all about the ethical and safety concerns on the subject of space babies in this week's Tech Talk Tuesday!
