Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, and Jeff Gamet discuss the “forever chemicals” (PFAS) lawsuit against Apple for their watch bands, and look at how, if you drive a Subaru, someone may know where you are going and where you have been. Some speculation on why some organizations may not be on Bluesky (yet) and the end of the MiniDisc and what industries it matters to finish off the conversation.

A few weeks ago, Dave dropped the shocking news that he had canceled Amazon Prime. Last week he hinted that maybe he was back in. For many people, Amazon Prime seems like a no-brainer, but is it? We take a look at what benefits you get for the price. There's also an impressive new AI, DeepSeek, from China that is making headlines. Samsung also had their Unpacked event to announce new technology, and some people got to check out their upcoming Moohan XR headset.

This is a different sort of podcast, featuring interviews I did half my life ago. I originally planned to make a radio documentary, but the audio wound up on MiniDiscs gathering dust.In 2001, I was a foreign correspondent searching for answers. I hoped I might find some in India at the world's biggest gathering – the Mahā Kumbha Melā, where the Ganges meets the Yamuna. I talked to a wide range of people, asking Westerners what had inspired their journeys Eastward.Looking back, I've made one myself – from drug-fuelled confusion to writing a book about yoga philosophy, and a career as a teacher. My younger self had other ideas – he tried to emulate the Melā by staging a festival on Big War Island in Belgrade. However, listening to these chats, I can hear a few echoes of what was to come – plus repeated indications of much still to learn…The first conversation is with Scott McNamara, an American disciple of the yogi “Pilot Baba”. The second is with Susan Shumsky, who learned to meditate with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, then turned to “New Thought” – better known today as “manifesting” – whose positive psychology infuses modern yoga.I'm still unsure about the documentary prospects – not least since I don't work in radio, or know where to start. I also have mixed feelings about the discussions, as the podcast explains. If you have any thoughts in response, please get in touch!
John Linneman stops by the show so that Chris can once again bring up MiniDiscs, then the guys reminisce about the Funcolands and Electronics Boutiques of yore, John does a DOUBLE “Does it Slap…” then talks about his history of car ownership. Growing up, Coury knew a kid whose dad had a first-generation Dodge Viper, we find out that you can “hop on the cawk” and watch every Wrestlemania ever, and John gives us some tips on time management as a YouTube creator.

In Folge 29 von Plus 1 auf Podcast geht es um die 1990er-Jahre und Trends von damals, die ikonisch genug sind, um sie in Horror-Abenteuern zu verwenden. Denn Nokia-Handys und Modem-Internet gab es zwar, aber nicht immer und überall. Was bringen Buffy, Akte X, Minidiscs, Modem-Internet und Eurodance mit an den Spieltisch? Wir gehen auf Erinnerungsreise.
In the first episode of Feckin' Metal, I speak to my oldest friend, Kevin Daly, about our metal evolution. From queuing up for U2 tickets, to buying Appetite for Destruction, to attending Iron Maiden, Motorhead, and Dio gigs - listen to the journey of two old friends who discovered classic heavy metal in the early 2000's and are still avid fans to this day. This journey takes us through VHS tapes, MiniDiscs, DVDs, and Spotify, as we discuss our enduring fandom for a genre that will always evolve but never die - heavy metal! *Originally released September 11th, 2020
Heather Anne Campbell (How Did This Get Played? pod, Rick and Morty) joins Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of how Heather is leaning into the nerdy things she loves these days like Gundam, old Macs, and MiniDiscs; what it's like to show someone a perfect movie they know nothing about, and how no one gets how VCR board games work.
For this week's bonus, Milo, Nate, and Alice watched the 1995 Kathryn Bigelow film STRANGE DAYS, in which Ray Fiennes is a lovelorn memory-salesman hawking minidiscs that let you experience other people's consciousness. It's a bizarre document from the time in which its made, it's a film with cult status in certain quarters, and it posits the notion that to get over your problems, you need Angela Bassett to kick your ass.

Üsi Heldä choufe Minidiscs und 1 Franke Hotdogs, läbe ds Chalet-Läbe und wärde vo Nachbarä gstört. Haut e zimlech normale Jugendtreff.
Was rummaging around in the attic the other day and came across a dusty box of Minidiscs (remember those?) and in amongst them was a recording of a set I put together way back in 2006. So many memories came flooding back when I stuck this one on, so I felt compelled to give it an upload. With a tracklist inspired by a variety of EMs from around that time, I hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as I enjoyed rediscovering it.
Das Wirtschaftsministerium enttäuscht uns mit Neuigkeiten zum Covid-Hilfsfonds, Europa hat zu schlechte Bedingungen für Unicorns und amazon flunkert mit Rabattaktionen. -- Was regt Hannes in der aktuellen Startup-Politik auf? Was ist und mach INDICA Skincare? Wer kennt noch Minidiscs? Wie viele Unicorns gibt es in den USA und der EU? Was macht den Reiz der Foodblogs aus? Wie kann man sich Straßen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert auf Google Streetview ansehen? Was hat früher eine CD gekostet und warum steigen Tickets für Live-Konzerte seit Jahren? Wie sieht man sein Startup nach 5 Jahren, wenn man bald 30 Jahre alt wird? Sind wir schon "fame"? Ist eine ERP Software Umstellung leicht oder schwer? Warum gibt es nicht mehr Unterstützung für Startups? Schätzen wir die modernen Möglichkeiten von Streamingdiensten ausreichend? Mit welchen weiteren vier Nominierten sind wir beim Digitalos Award unter den Top-5? Diese und weitere Themen besprechen wir - viel Spaß bei Aufregern, Diskussionen, News bzw. Infos, Aufklärung und guter Laune! Und vielleicht hört diese Folge ja jemand Zuhause in seinem Indoor-Pool. ;-)

No penúltimo episódio da "Semana Especial OK Computer", entramos nos campos mais profundos e obscuros do disco, onde destacamos os registros sonoros (rascunhos, ideias, passagens de som, diálogos, experimentações, etc) que estão na "fita cassete" do OKNOTOK e nas "MiniDiscs (Hacked)". Estes materiais são os mais importantes para quem busca entender a linha criativa do Radiohead na fase do OK Computer.
Liz returns after watching The Matrix (1999) and tries valiantly to elevate my thinking to the level of message and metaphor, while I obsess over those goddamn MiniDiscs. Please #staythefuckhome (if you can) and support https://getusppe.org (if you can). And please enjoy these beautiful goth kids holding a rave in broad daylight: https://youtu.be/gPbVRpRgHso
It's about bloody time Riot Act discussed Radiohead, the critically-lauded British art rock Oxfordians who changed the face of modern music forever. Seeing as we've never really talked all that much about them on the show before, Remfry greedily picks two albums which may (or may not) be interlinked in a manner that conspiracy nuts go crazy for. This first part concentrates on the undisputed classic OK Computer, the band's third album released 21st May 1997. Routinely considered one of the best albums of all time, Remfry and Steve discuss the impact the album had on a music scene in flux, the arduous recording process, the band's legendary debut headline appearance at Glastonbury, the 1998 documentary film Meeting People is Easy, the hacked Minidiscs scandal that erupted in 2019 and more. There's also an interesting and somewhat surprising diversion when talk turns to Steven Spielberg's Jaws and 70s BBC sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.Part 2 is available over at our Patreon -https://www.patreon.com/riotactpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week North Innsbruck joins us for his first appearance on the show. He gives us an update on his new E.P. The December 14th show coming up for Nitrowave TC. Kiel reviews the special edition of the Gunship;'s album Dark All Day on cassette. We chat retro formats such as Minidiscs and Zip Drives. We talk vinyl again and spend a little time talking about the Irishman towards the end.
Dans cet épisode on se penche sur un disque culte du mouvement trip-hop, le célèbre "Mezzanine" de Massive Attack sorti en 1998. Il aura donné du fil à retordre aux trois membres du groupe (Grant Marshall aka Daddy G, Andrew Vowles aka Mushroom et Robert Del Naja aka 3D aka Banksy?) qui souhaitaient donner chacun une nouvelle direction à ce troisième album. Au final c'est un disque sombre, orienté gothique et new wave qui est devenu 20 ans plus tard le témoin d'une époque. On s'en souvient. Fanny adorait le trip-hop, Olivia pas du tout. Greg l'écoutait dans la chambre de son grand frère, et Manu l'a découvert en même temps qu'une révolution technologique : les MiniDiscs ! Chaque mois dans Radio K7 on vous raconte l'histoire d'un disque culte qui a marqué nos années '90s. Une émission animée par Emmanuel Minelle, Fanny Giniès, Olivia Godat et Grégoire Sauvage. Enregistrée chez Fanny Giniès. Identité graphique réalisée par Floating Studio. Crédits : Générique : Dr Alban "Sing hallelujah". Titres écoutés dans l'émission : Massive Attack “Angel”, “Rising son”, “Teardrop”, “Inertia creeps”, “Exchange”, “Dissolved girl”, “Man next door”, “Black milk”, “Mezzanine”, “Group four”, “(Exchange)”. John Holt & The Paragons “I've got to get away”, The Cure “10:15 Saturday night”, Ultravox “Rockwrock”. Extrait : Emission “Tracks Marathon : Archives 2003 - Massive Attack / Arte" (2019) C'est déjà la fin de la première saison !

Someone stole hours and hours of MiniDiscs from Radiohead—a band Evan really likes and Hans likes in theory—and held it ransom for $150,000. Rather than pay a ransom Radiohead released all the music and Hans quickly saw the sermon illustration. Speaking of music (not music ransoms), a recent book Hans finished up taught him a cool story about “Hey Ya” (the book was fine, not great). Then, in an unrelated study break, Hans talks a bit about the Chernobyl miniseries.
In light of recent OK Computer leak-related events, we got together to record a VERY SPECIAL EMERGENCY EPISODE to acknowledge it and talk about it a bit - one of us has listened to the leaks and one of us has not, and we thought this would be a short bonus episode but we ended up talking for almost an hour and a half because of course we did. (This episode does not include any audio from the leaks, so that even if you are choosing to abstain from listening to them, you need not abstain from the podcast.)
In this episode, whilst battling with modern technology, we get out our retro tech recordings to add even more nostalgia to the already vintage podcast; further cementing our new found “old men” status. If you like banter about Betamax and Minidiscs, this is the podcast for you. If you don’t, well, there’s also talk about drinking on air, radio stripteases, and we answer the question: what if the members of Steps ran a shop selling escalators? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/soh/message
Season 2, Episode 7. It's time to discuss 'Bands What We Have Loved And Left Behind' again, this time with Special Guest Gary Wilcox discusses his love of Canadian folk-pop-rocksters Barenaked Ladies, a band also beloved by John. As the conversation careens hither & yon, they cover classic UK Saturday telly event 'The Chart Show', the cost of albums in the 90s, the state of BNL pre- and post- the leaving of Steven Page, the Curse Of The Double Album, cassettes and MiniDiscs, and can John tell the difference between a dearth and a glut? (No.) Before ALL this, they return to an old topic of Pokemon GO, discussing the merits of shagging by a water wheel, and why John likes to choose news stories that require leaps of pronunciation.

"The Matrix." - Take the red pill and enter “The Matrix,” 1999’s influential sci-fi/action classic. Why does Morpheus talk like a fortune cookie? Is Keanu’s woodenness an asset or detriment? Was skeuomorphism the fall of man? And if we accept that living things can be used as batteries, why wouldn’t the machines just use cows? Grad students, we are about to blow your minds. Whoa. Host Jason Snell with David J. Loehr, John Siracusa, Steve Lutz and Erika Ensign.
The pitfalls of potholes, rumored Durango specs, Hit Clips and MiniDiscs, The Witcher 3, Bald Paul Walker, JJ Abrams vs. Gabe Newell, the delay of Rayman Legends, Impossible Studios’ final mission, and if we sell enough GRIT then we can get a bike!
