Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod.

Special Episode: Return of Manhattanhenge


Listen Later

The United States Senate proved to be full of Tech Pod listeners this week as it passed a measure to make Daylight Savings Time permanent. But wait, did they pick the right time? This week we're reissuing our in-depth DST explainer from last Fall, complete with a new intro looking at what's going on in Congress, musings on overnight-flight and time-zone nonsense from our past and present, some feedback from a chronobiologist we received about our original episode, and more.

SHOW NOTES

The two Washington Post pieces referenced in the new part of this episode:

Senate plan for permanent daylight saving time faces doubts in the House
