Wyoming, known for its vast natural beauty and abundant fossil fuel resources, is now at the center of a heated debate over the future of transportation in the state. Recently, a proposed legislation has been introduced to the state assembly to phase out the sale of electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035. This would make Wyoming the first state in the nation to take such a drastic step, and is in direct contrast to the ending the sale of gas-powered vehicles in California, Washington, and Oregon the same year. As you can imagine, it's caused quite a stir among automakers, environmentalists, and people across the country alike.

In this episode of our podcast, we will take a closer look at the proposed ban and its potential consequences. We'll dive into the reasons behind the proposed ban, whether it is economically necessary, and its supposed impact on the state's energy independence and air quality.

Plus, why this speaks to the larger conversation that gas-powered vehicles may simply be gone but not forgotten. Major auto manufacturers are jumping in to Formula 1, a racing league with the goal of being carbon net zero by 2030 - and still run fuel. What does this mean for the future of cars made by companies like GM, Porsche, Mercedes, and more? Don't miss this important conversation on the future of transportation and energy.

When you turn off your phone, you might assume that it's completely disconnected from the world. But the truth is that there are several ways that law enforcement agencies and others can track your location, even when it's turned off. 

In this episode, we explore the various methods that can be used to locate a phone, including IMEI tracking, IP address tracking, GPS tracking, and cell tower triangulation. We also discuss the recent case of Bryan Kohberger - the man arrested for murdering four people in Moscow, Idaho - where the fact that he turned his phone off during the time of the murders was used as key evidence against him.

But tracking technology isn't just used as a benefit in criminal investigations - it can also have implications for our everyday privacy. We consider the ways that our phone usage can leave an invisible trail, and we offer tips for protecting your privacy when it comes to your phone.

This week, we're diving into a hot, new, rapidly growing social media platform called BeReal. The site prompts you to post one unedited photo of what's in front of you and what's behind you at the same time as your friends. Then, all of you can see what each other is doing and leave your comments. There are ways to share images publicly, but for the most part this app truly is geared toward staying in touch with those you know and not being sucked into the doom scrolling of other social media sites.

So, does that mean this is the social media savior we've all been looking for? Is it full of thirst traps, ads, and other distractions that detract from the content and intent of the site? Is it safe to use and respectful of your privacy? And most importantly, should you get involved and BeReal with your friends? Spoiler alert: We love it! And we definitely didn't expect to. Why BeReal might be the answer to your social media frustrations, and a whole lot more in this episode! Let's get into it!
