It's time for episode 84 of the Clockwise podcast from Relay FM, recorded Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015.

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

Welcome back to Clockwise, where it's time for Earth Day podcasting.

I'm your host, Dan Morin, and I am flying solo this week, casually, of course, with no co-host since Jason Snell is away at another one of his interminable conferences.

But I'm joined by a fantastic roster of guests this week to my left from the

wire cutter Mr. Dan Frakes. Hi, Dan. Hi, Dan. Thanks for having me. Welcome back. Following that,

across the virtual table for me is also from the wire cutter, Ms. Jackie Chang. Hi, Jackie. Welcome

back. Hi. Thanks for having me. It's a double feature of wire cutter folks.

And at our vaunted nine o'clock position, not from the wirecutter, but from Macworld and a variety of other places to numerous to name Mr. Glenn Fleischman.

Hi, Glenn.

Hello, in honor of the wire cutterter presence, I think we should call

this episode Crockwise. That, nope, vetoed, immediately vetoed. We should call it the best

podcast for most people. Yeah. I hope that we make your eventual podcast selection list of

the best podcast for everybody.

That's what I'm aiming for, having both of you on today.

So clockwise, as always, we will discuss four technology topics.

We will go around the circle and each sort of get a chance to weigh in on our variety of topics.

And because I am this week's only host, I get to go first.

And naturally, my topic is about the Star Wars trailer.

No, my topic is not about the Star Wars trailer.

My topic's actually about this little device I have on my desk right now that I got

right before I left for vacation a couple weeks ago, which is an Amazon Echo.
