SJ217: Bloomberg blows it, Hyundai toots its horn, Epic throws its own case, Prepear to settle, more
We're in orbit around an ice world this week, cadets, so stay close to the ... wait for it ... space-heater! Hyundai and Kia blow their chance to build a car with Apple, Bloomberg steps back into their own fiasco, Zuckerberg wants your medical data, and a surprising number of allegedly smart people said some really dumb things this week! Stay warm and safe, cadets, it's really not a good week to be an overly-entitled tech CEO!

SJ216: "Apple Car" vindication, Facebook lies, Dev Kit-gate, "nutrition" fables, Airway Pods, & more
Cap’n Mike is on the bridge, cadets, so heave ho! We were right about the “Apple Car,” Homebrew and Homepod get upgrades, Bezos gives up being Amazon's CEO, Microsoft is copying Apple again, and we're writing the latest bug report using a "sudo" nym! Keep those AirPods firmly in your ears, cadets ... do not confuse them for artificial tonsils!

SJ213: CES roundup, rules are rules, rumors, Samsung stuff, Belkin recall, Magsafe, and reader mail!
CES had a lot of products to flog as usual, cadets, but being on video only and in linear order, plus you had to BYOB? Not the same. We round up our best and worst and mention a few Apple-specific things, Cook talks Parler (et al), Samsung ditches included stuff while bringing out separate new stuff, and we dig into a little bit of reader mail!

Customer Reviews
Love space javelin
Charles and Mike do a great job of reviewing the weekly tech news and keeping it funny.
Fun show
Very informative like the AppleInsider Podcast, with delightfully raunchy verbiage to boot! I like the alternative take on the traditional podcast, keeps its very fun without being short on the details. Makes the start of my week very fun!
Excellent news recap with great technical content
I look forward to hearing your weekly tech news recap. It's got enough context and technical depth. It's also entertaining. Good up the great work.
