Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about technology and privacy as Mike Gorday and I, Nathan Mumm, alongside cybersecurity guru Gwen Way, crack open the digital Pandora's box. From the comfort of your home to the moon's craggy surface, we're bringing you insights that just might tempt you to wrap your Wi-Fi password in a space blanket. Hear how the automotive industry's hunger for data could drive up your insurance premiums and why Airbnb's latest policy might allow you not double-check your rental smoke alarms for cameras.

Ever wondered if high-tech innovations can stir the soul like a finely aged bourbon? We put this to the test, weaving tales from ancient papermaking to whiskey's spirited history, all while sipping on Four Roses Bourbon. And as for that spontaneous investment I made live on the show? You'll get the inside track on LOOI, the Kickstarter sensation promising to turn your smartphone into a robot pal. Gwen's infectious enthusiasm for the latest gadgets might have you reaching for your wallet, too.

So, whether you're a tech aficionado or just someone who appreciates a good yarn (and perhaps a tipple), this episode's for you. We'll send you off with a few laughs, some head-scratching moments, and a newfound appreciation for the complex dance between innovation and privacy. Join us on Tech Time Radio for a journey that's as educational as it is entertaining, and remember—sometimes the most technological word we need is 'cheers'!

Stay tuned for all this and more, only on TechTime Radio with Nathan Mumm, the show that makes you go "Humm" Technology news of the week for March 10 - March 16, 2024
