What's it really like to test every smart home product on the market — when your job literally never turns off?
We sat down with Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, Senior Reviewer at The Verge, for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about living on the bleeding edge of smart home tech. From the robot mower debate ("this season, maybe"), to humanoids at CES that literally fell on her, to why she thinks she has the worst smart home of anyone she knows — this episode covers everything.
