52 minutes

Today on the show, it's all about the big breaking tech news stories. Steven and Shaun learn more about the new games controller announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week that will make it easier for people with disabilities to play games.

Also, there's news that Amazon will soon lay off around 18,000 employees as part of its bid to cut costs following a difficult year, and Apple is making Magsafe available as part of the new wireless charging standard being brought in this year, meaning that non-Apple devices could soon enjoy the benefits of magnetized charging.

Today's big interview is focused on the All Terrain Cane, an invention by David Epstein, who is visually impaired. He chats with the guys about why he developed the idea and how it has turned into a business opportunity for him. Find out more about the cane here - https://awarewolfgear.com/atc/
