In this episode, I discuss the new disabling feature of the Prime Photos app on the Fire TV. I also talk about upcoming changes to the home screen revolving around recommended content. Then I show off the new hands-free capabilities of the Amazon Tap portable Alexa speaker. The episode concludes with a Q&A session where I answer questions from the audience.
