It's time for another episode of the Tech Informist podcast!

We've been wondering just how people are finding themselves paying for things when out and about. Have you adopted the new NFC payment systems like Apple Pay, Android Pay or some other variant using your smartphone? Or are you still going "old school" and using cash or a credit/debit card?

We share our thoughts on this in the opening discussion segment, but we want to hear what you are finding yourselves using so let us know.
