It's time for episode 169 of the Clockwise podcast from Relay FM recorded Wednesday, December 28, 2016.

Clockwise, four people, four tech topics, 30 minutes.

Welcome back to Clockwise, where we've run out of time for 2016.

I'm Jason Snell, and across the internet from me back in his home in the US of A.

It's Dan, Dan.

Hi, Jason.

It's so good to be back here on my sonorous microphone.

It's just a delight.

Yeah.

It's a delight to be heard.

But I'm glad we're bidding adieu to 2016. I think we can all agree. It's better off as one for the history books. Yeah, so good riddance, but we're going to send it off in style today. We have two wonderful guests and a special sort of format for this episode. So to my left, you know her as Mrs. Soup in the chat room. She's Kathy Campbell.

Hello. Welcome back. Hello, hello. Hello. I'm excited to be back, even though I'm kind of sad that we're not in

Southern Ireland recording this again. Fair point. I agree with you. To my left, our other guest, one of the

co-founders of Relay FM and the co-host of Liftoff, among other podcasts. Mr. Stephen

Hackett is here. Hi, Stephen. Wait, we weren't supposed to fly to Ireland for this? Where are you guys?

I've been here. I've been waiting. So let me explain what's going to happen. I have decided that this

episode, arbitrarily is the guest dictator of the clockwise spreadsheet, that we're going to have this be our year in review episode.

And so instead of having my guests provide their own topics, as usually happens,

we've basically all been assigned by me, some topics looking back at the year gone by and perhaps

also looking forward to the year ahead. So we're going to do this one by one in draft form.

It has to be that way.

If somebody picks something, you can't pick it.
