Techstream with Shelly Palmer and Seth Everett

Seth and Shelly both started their careers in radio. Even if you don’t pay close attention to the numbers, it’s easy to see that stations are downsizing. That leaves a big question: with the advent of Instagram and Facebook, where does radio fit in the lexicon?

Shelly’s been a TikTok superstar for a while, and Seth has been using it to push his other podcasts forward. Just about everyone else has been using the app, too, as earlier this year TikTok became the most-visited website in the world, more popular than even Google.

Amazon just had a conference where it announced that Alexa will soon be able to speak to you with any voice of any person, living or dead. All it takes for Alexa to do this is a minute of audio.

We have “a potpourri of chaos” on this week’s episode of Techstream. With everything going on… why do U.S. politicians care about USB-C? If you (rightly) hate that your iPhone and iPad and MacBook may all use different connectors…

Shelly and Seth recap the June 6th, 2022 Worldwide Developer Conference Apple Keynote, which highlighted the preview of iOS 16. This episode features a recap of all of the new features.

In the aftermath of the horrific shooting in Uvalde, Texas, many questions were raised about the use of social media by the shooter. It raised questions in our episode about what kids under 18 do on social media, and how to see if they are getting themselves into trouble.

Shelly and Seth debate how far the technology is from being fully operational. Still, is this the next evolution of automotive travel? If Electric Vehicles are the future, do they have to drive themselves?

Politicians are coming to break up Big Tech (companies like Google and Facebook). There’s a long history of vertically-integrated companies, but this move is so ill-conceived that it proves that our elected officials don’t have a clue what’s going on.

Shelly just got back from Germany, and while he was flying back, crypto fell apart in a way that is testing the faith of the faithful. Today, we’re not trying to explain WHY this happened or what to do now. (It’s important to remember that we’re not offering financial advice.)
