TechTime with Nathan Mumm

Who says you can't mix the old with the new or the whimsical with the downright serious? Buckle up, listeners, because we're about to stir the pot with everything from the questionable comeback of cassette tapes—yep, you heard it, Taylor Swift's bringing them back—to the brain-tickling topic of spies hiding in plain sight. Our discussion on Europol's classified data surfacing on the dark web is bound to make you contemplate the vulnerability of our digital fortresses.
Gwen Way drops by with something that's bound to be a new staple in your emergency kit—an emergency power card the size of your credit card, yet powerful enough to give your devices that extra life when you need it most. We'll also weigh in on the latest cybersecurity headline that didn't make the cut but perhaps should have, involving a ransomware attack on a US healthcare network. And because life's not all doom and gloom, you'll get to hear our take on the 'Nectar of the Gods'—does this whiskey really live up to its divine title?
Our creative juices aren't just for the tech talk; we also muse on Apple's advertising faux pas with their latest iPad Pro ad, giving you our candid thoughts on the matter. And, because we love a good throwback, we can't help but chuckle over the Chicken Dance and the possibility of boomboxes strutting their stuff once again. Join us for this episode where laughs are plenty, skepticism is welcome, and the conversation is as charged as a Batterix in your back pocket.
