Over the Counter Podcast

Mark and Andrew swap stories about their favorite new innovations, technologies, gadgets and ideas. Engineers produce some pretty cool stuff these days and it's worth taking a little time to just appreciate it all.

Mark and Andrew bemoan the loss of actually fun seesaws, merry-go-rounds and slides, which have been replaced by overly safe plastic monstrosities brought on by our litigious culture. They examine some sociological consequences like the plague of childhood obesity and explore solutions to bring back free-range kids.
