From Blogger to Tech Founder: How Virginia Montanez Created PastFinders | AwesomeCast 750

58 minutes

This week on AwesomeCast, we dive into tech, history, and a little pumpkin spice! We’re joined by Virginia Montanez — acclaimed writer, author, and creator of the PastFinders app, which turns everyday walks into immersive historical tours.

We also talk:

• Apple Watch’s new “Workout Buddy” voice coaching (is it helpful or just annoying?)

• iJustine’s epic iPhone 1 vs iPhone 15 photo test

• Using AI to turn pet pics into paintings via iOS 17’s Image Playground

• Goldfish + Dunkin = Pumpkin Spice Grahams?! Taste-tested on the show!

💡 Plus: Newsletter updates, cat chaos, and what it’s like launching a tech startup in Pittsburgh.
