Welcome back to Clockwise, the Tech Podcasts, where it's February 15th and we celebrate Valentine's Day.

I'm your co-host, Dan Moran, and I'm joined across the internet by my co-host, Mr. Jason Snell.

Hi, Jason.

Hi, Dan.

Happy Valentine's Day.

This is the show where we talk about four tech topics with two wonderful guests. To my left,

the first of our guests, a senior editor at Mobile Nations, and a podcaster on such shows,

such as disruption right here on Relay FM. Micah Surgeon's back. Hi, Micah. Who writes this stuff,

Dan? I don't know. They just hand me copy. It's good to be here, Dan. I'm happy to be here. We're

glad to have you back. And to my left, it is, yeah, Mike is here. Guess who else is here? It's

Allison Sheridan podcaster from the Solicast and Chit Chat Across the Pond. Hello. Hello. I would
