During this installment of the program, Jim Ellermeyer continues his dialogue with Chris Whitlatch, the author of "Notorious Pittsburgh." They delve into the emergence of vice in Pittsburgh, the noteworthy figure Dante "Tex" Gill, who was a trans man that was openly accepted by society at the time and a leader in the underground scene. Additionally, they compare these individuals to Andrew Carnegie and his contributions to the city's welfare during that period, as well as explore how this led to the state of disarray on Liberty Avenue after the late 1970s. The discussion also includes the notorious serial killer Richard Henkel, who attempted to commit "insurance fraud" through murder. Lastly, the show covers the story of the Christmas bombing that caused vice establishments to shut down for the holiday.

In this installment of the program, Jim Ellermeyer invites Chris Whitlatch, a former guest, to talk about his recent significant life change.

He shares his experience with Pittsburgh Foundation, his show on PCTV, and meeting Bonnie Baxter of DoorsOpen Pittsburgh, who inspired him to compile the stories that eventually became his book, Notorious Pittsburgh.

Intro music: “Life” by Tobu. 

We’ve got a special treat this week as we’re joined by our BOLD Pittsburgh team of Steve Fernald and Amanda Narcisi. They join Sorg and Chilla to talk about this week in technology news, including: There may be some Top Gun chatter at the top of the show. Amanda has some show and tell for her Awesome Thing of the Week with Philips Hue Go. Because Amanda isn’t here very often, we let her have TWO Awesome Thing of the Week submissions. Up next? Beasts of Balance! Steve is a sports fan (cough BOLD Pittsburgh Sports cough) is sharing Zepp Smart Sports as his Awesome Thing of the Week. Chilla is heading to Pinterest for his Awesome Thing of the Week with Poort for his iPad collection. Steve is looking to upgrade his velcro and duct tape solutions with Poort thanks to Chilla. Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Week is thanks to the Going Deep summit this weekend. He’s sharing 412 Food Rescue’s new app. Burger King explaining Net Neurality may be the best thing ever. Star Wars + VR = Secrets of the Empire. Chris Whitlatch gives his thumbs up this week. Chilla is pouring one out this week for Dudders (not being in studio) with VR fake porn that face swaps someone’s face into porn. Waymo has ordered thousands of vans for self-driving taxi service geared for later this year. Instagram has finally approved scheduled content! After the show remember to: Eat at Slice on Broadway (@Pgh_Slice) if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome!

This week Marta Napoleone Mazzoni stops in between her worldly travels to join us on the big purple couch! All settled in, she’s ready to talk some tech with Sorg and Chilla, including: Chilla is giving some tips to fix trucks parking in front of the studio street cam. Marta is sharing some info about what she’s up to with HER podcast at the top of the show. Chilla is campaigning hard for that brick wall. He may start a new Patreon level for it. Marta is sharing her Awesome Thing of the Week – a home drive-in option. Chilla is telling us all about the new Intel v2 chip as his Awesome Thing of the Week. Will everything be Quad Core and higher now? Looks like the first Quad Core machines will drop this fall. Good question from our guest Marta – should you wait or not to get that new Quad Core machine? Are you a fan of Dungeons and Dragons? There’s an official digital tool set just for you! Speaking of Dungeons and Dragons character development, we may be spinning a new podcast for the network. Marta must have broken the internets with her awesomeness, as we faced a momentary hiccough mid-show. Harmar Township makes the news with an Offer Up meet-up space. Marta and Chris Whitlatch share a new haunt option in Orlando for this Halloween season. Marta gives a shout out to Enter The Imaginarium and how it compares to escape rooms around the world. Our in-house gamer Rizz shared some news that the Olympics committee is considering gaming. We’re realizing The Wizard may be closer to reality than we realize. How about a group VR game for a zombie escape? Speaking of our soon-to-be robot overlords, there’s a room service robot, guys! Can’t get enough of your iPad as a 2nd display? There’s another option out there for you. Imagine your Mac as a touchscreen. Marta is calling for a Tech School for 30-somethings. We may or may not have just gotten some breaking news on air about this year’s PodCamp Pittsburgh. Chilla is closing out the show with some Samsung updates.

We've got a full studio this week as Kim Lyons joins us on the couch! Sorg is back behind the desk, and Katie and Chilla take up their respective spots around the Slice on Broadway pizza box. It can only mean we're ready to talk what's new in tech this week for AwesomeCast 354, including: Kim is sharing some fun information about what she's up to these days. Kim is ready to roll with her Awesome Thing of the Week from the land down under. Drones + Environment = Lim Lyons' Awesome Thing of the Week. Chilla is sharing an indoor antenna from Mohu as his Awesome Thing of the Week. Katie has an Awesome Thing of the Week (thanks to Mad Mike)! It's a ranch fountain! Katie is thinking of the possibilities for a ranch fountain and some Slice on Broadway. #PeaceLoveAndRanch Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is an AR replication of Super Mario in Central Park. Thanks to Slice on Broadway for providing the perfect pepperoni pizza to support Podcast Day. (You can order online now!) Chilla is bringing us this week's App of the Week with Lumafusion - the closest thing to Final Cut for mobile. Adobe is talking about full functionality for Photoshop on mobile devices? Thanks to Chris Whitlatch for sharing a new VR arcade (in Seattle) for this week's discussion. While Sorg was in Nebraska, he learned he can check a VR unit out of the school library. Hmm. Katie is sharing some snapmap information for us. Snapmap can also help you figure out where everyone is with hot spot mapping options. Instagram has location features similar to snapmap. Kim brings us back to Pittsburgh with CMU initiatives for AI (because kids are smarter than we are). We just figured out that CMU will be Skynet. Uber - When Lyft isn't an option... Does anything come out of MIT these days? Seems like all the cool kids are at CMU. Star Wars trailer for The Last Jedi made on a 1984 Apple IIC. Katie is closing out the show with porn again this week: the first standalone VR unit - that only plays porn. Will you be in Pittsburgh this weekend? It's Anthrocon 2017 time! (We're so excited!) Are you a musician? We'd love to talk updating our theme. Bonus points if you do it Mystery Science Theater style.

Sorg, Chilla, and Katie are talking about some of this week’s tech news for AwesomeCast 348, including: We’re turning down the geek knob a little and getting into this week’s Awesome Cast (Special Edition). Shout out to our Pittsburgh Marathon peeps as it’s the thing to do during marathon weekend. It’s time for our Awesome Thing of the Week and Katie has a Google Docs PSA. Katie is deep-diving some things we may take for granted with app permission authorizations. Google Docs phishing attack tips: Check before opening. Use a 2-step authentication process to help circumvent. Chilla is sharing Annotable as his Awesome Thing of the Week. Annotable has handy tools for editing screenshots and pictures on the go. Sorg is sharing a Raspberry Pi kit (get it with Mag Pi) to turn it into a dirt cheap Google Home competitor. AIY is DIY for tech! (Automate It Yourself) Sorg is a fan of electronics and cardboard options. We have lots of stories from folks in our Facebook group! Thanks to Brandon for sharing the Alexa Bliss and Amazon Echo story. Sorg’s worlds are colliding. Thanks to Doug for sharing a life hack tip for IFTTT (If This Then That) keeping track of ideas while driving. Hey Trello can you get us Siri support to help integration flow a little smoother? Uncle Crappy hit us up with a Beer Week wrap-up and a Chachi sighting! Thanks to Chris Whitlatch for letting us know about an augmented reality UAV game. Katie is telling us how easy it is to find porn on Tumblr using your iPhone. Chilla has a cross-platform, streamable VR video player he’s telling us about. Don’t drive with your VR headset on, kids. The Hulu Live TV platform has launched. Sorg is sharing some thoughts. Not a sports fan? Hulu Live TV offers a no-sports package (unlike cable TV packages). We liked when Facebook brought us interactions for posts. We’re happy that they’ve extended it to comments! Katie is sharing some thoughts on Facebook reactions and how she uses it for marketing. Do you miss having a physical keyboard on your phone? Samsung is offering a physical keyboard overlay.
