Part 1:
From skipping the thermostat to saving the planet — Handy Andy Baryer joins Shane to explore the future of construction through innovation and ingenuity. They start with Andy’s personal mission to delay turning on the heat, leading into a bigger conversation about frugality, sustainability, and how new materials could reshape how we build. Discover the promise of “Super Wood,” stronger and lighter than steel, and “EC3,” a power-storing concrete that could turn sidewalks into batteries. Along the way, they trace the evolution of concrete from ancient Egypt to MIT labs, bridging history with tomorrow’s technology.
Part 2:
When innovation meets surveillance, who’s really watching? Handy Andy Baryer joins Shane to unpack Amazon’s new AI-powered glasses for delivery drivers — a tech leap designed to boost efficiency and safety, but one that raises serious questions about privacy and data tracking. The discussion expands to AI’s growing role in spotting deepfakes on platforms like YouTube and the uneasy balance between security and freedom. From smart eyewear to synthetic media, it’s a sharp look at how technology is changing not just what we see, but what we believe.
