Project Indigo, Ponchos & Pittsburgh Pride | AwesomeCast 737
Live from the Hampton Inn in Adrian, Michigan, the AwesomeCast crew brings another jam-packed episode of tech talk and geeky goodness! Michael Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar discuss their latest adventures covering the Formula SAE Electric Vehicle competition, highlighting the gear upgrades and behind-the-scenes prep for video production and livestreaming.
Katie showcases her new favorite budget-friendly sunglasses from Knockaround, with cool licensed designs like Hello Kitty, Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. Dave dives deep into Adobe’s Project Indigo, an experimental mobile camera app offering advanced AI photography features like noise reduction and reflection removal—perfect for iPhone shutterbugs.
Plus, the team reacts to Honda’s e-quad delivery vehicle that skirts regulation by legally qualifying as an e-bike, and shares a spooky tech conspiracy from the Denver International Airport.
📺 Also: The ChachiSays Video Game Minute covers PS5 surpassing PS4 in monthly users, MLB The Show helping a real-life pitcher improve his game, and the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7!
