Our first Nonsense Tech Predictions episode was received so positively with such encouragement from our listeners that we thought we’d round out our remaining 2025 predictions that we didn’t have time for.
Of course, there’s more AI (both as feedback and in-ear), custom productivity improvements, batteries, and helping when disasters strike.
Buried somewhere in this episode, astute listeners will find: DNS server compilation, a Carson clip, mad-libs, estimating your age, a listener voicemail, and a national day to finally break up. Good luck!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
