We all got the alert yesterday on our phones… The Presidential Alert, a test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. The alert is designed to let the White House inform the entire country of a grave public emergency such as a terrorist attack or invasion. But did you know the long strange history of alert systems in the country. My producer Miranda joins us for some of the past systems some of which included buzzers and pink balloons. Next, after months of negotiations, a new bill that will transform the music industry is set to become law very soon. The Music Modernization Act is set to update decades old copyright laws to catch up to the world of streaming music we live in now. Sara Fischer, media reporter for Axios, joins us to discuss this rare bill in American politics… everyone seems to like it! Finally, the food industry is now will be going through some big changes in the coming years as tech innovations are having an impact on what we eat and how food is made. Annie Gasparro, food reporter for the WSJ, joins us for what’s on the horizon… 3D printed chicken nuggets, fake shrimp made of algae, and the ability to grow anything anywhere.
