Would the tech companies please do us a favor and stop making news happen for like a week or two?

0:05.9

So that way when people hear this podcast a week after we've recorded it, it's not too outdated seeming please.

0:14.0

So we have some excellent happy news to report.

0:19.4

There's a new member special and more importantly than that it did not end up with us

0:24.0

ending the show which I was slightly surprised by so the new member special is

ATP Insider Roast my home screen so the three of us shared our first page of our iOS or iPhone

0:36.7
