I'm joined by Greg Koenig (@gak_pdx) and Cooper Zurad (@CooperZurad) for a no holds barred discussion about the economic manufacturing relationship between the US and China.

This week we have an audience Q&A about Andrew's latest "build in public" adventure, Project Bob (projectbob.xyz), whose mission is to autonomously circumnavigate the globe.

Andrew's previous public projects include his mission to replicate the LK-99 superconductor in his shop (featured in Wired), and the hilarious Doomscroller device.
