  • #24: The First Black Hole, The Worst Car Dashboards

    First, the Wall Street Journal's digital science editor Daniela Hernandez joins David, Joanna and Christopher with all details of the first-ever image of a black hole -- and why it's made everyone space and science nerds again. Plus, WSJ's automotive reporter Tim Higgins explains how tech companies are trying to claim new territory: the dashboard of your car. Then, Wiebe Wakker tells David about completing the world's longest electric car journey, making it from the Netherlands to Australia with nothing but the help of strangers (and electricity) along the way.

  • #23: How Amazon Changed Delivery and How Delivery Changes Everything

    This week, it's all about how we buy stuff and how that stuff gets to us. David, Joanna and Christopher bring on WSJ reporter Katie Bindley to talk about how to make sure you're getting the best deals on Amazon-and all the ways what you see on the page might not be what you think. Next, Julie Jargon, the team's new Family & Tech columnist, comes on to talk about a project she worked on before she took up her new gig: The Journal's Delivery Wars series looked at the tension between customers who want everything on their doorstep and businesses who want to actually make money. Finally, Christopher interviews Yariv Bash, CEO of Flytrex, about whether drones could one day deliver everything we need right into our hands.

  • #22: Apple News and Apple News Plus... Plus Other Apple News

    David, Chris and Joanna gather to discuss the week's Apple news. Which was Apple News. And Apple News Plus. Plus a credit card, a videogame arcade and a promise-if not proof-of A-list original videos. Our own Apple reporter Tripp Mickle arrives to shed some insights. And also to compare the Apple Card to the University of Virginia basketball team. Joanna heroically sticks to the Apple theme and explains the trouble with the latest MacBook keyboard. Then David arrives with the palate cleanser: an interview with Cal Newport, author of Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.

  • #21: Apple AirPods and Google Games

    David, Joanna and Christopher try to remember-and discuss-the many new Apple gadgets from this week. Bonus: Christopher's Jony Ive impression makes its first appearance on the show. Next, WSJ's Sarah Needleman comes on to discuss Google's new game-streaming service, Stadia, and what it might mean for how we play and watch videogames.

Finally, David talks to Casper co-founder Jeff Chapin about why it's so hard to track your sleep, and whether technology belongs in the bedroom at all.

  • #20: Tesla's Got a Brand New Car

    David and Joanna talk about the many strange consequences of sharing your kids' pictures on social media. What happens when they get older and see what you've shared, or their image ends up somewhere you never expected? Later, Tim Higgins joins from a hotel room in Los Angeles, where Elon Musk revealed the new Tesla Model Y, the SUV that promises to get all your kids to soccer practice faster than ever. Last, David sits down FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and our own telecom reporter Sarah Krouse to talk about what the FCC says is its consumer priority No. 1: the never-ending, all-consuming, ringing-off-the-hook robocall problem.
