It's the return of your favorite elite technocratic futurists, perpetually living on the bleeding edge of the disruptive verge of technological innovation.

How does it look? How fun is the unboxing??? Tune in for ...

The prodigal podcasters are back and better than ever. They discuss the timelessness of The Simpsons, customer disloyalty programs, and then have a very lengthly (and dare I say sexually charged) discussion about Apple Pay.

The prodigal podcasters return once again for an uncharacteristically buttoned-up episode. We discuss Adam’s travels through the newly minted iOS and OS X betas. With shockingly few complaints, we then focus our attention on why we rarely use Facebook and do some pro bono consulting for LinkedIn.
