For this week’s episode of Type1Radio Lounge, hosts Psonik, Miles, Swami, Steve and Phi are joined by their friend Dan for the usual discussion of a wide range of topics.
Join us for our weekly free-wheeling conversation as we cover the recent Bitcoin hysteria, Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, DARPA’s investment in “extinction” tech, the continuing crackdown on sexual harassment, the never-ending madness on America’s college campuses, and the dangers of ‘connected’ toys.
All that and more as we also have the usual assortment of music during the breaks.
Thanks for listening!
