Show: Thoughts on Tech & Things Host: Jason Michael Perry Guest: Rebecca Rosenberg, Founder & CEO of Rebokeh Show Description Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Rebecca Rosenberg, Founder & CEO of Rebokeh, to explore how technology is reshaping what it means to see — and what accessibility can teach us about innovation. From everyday tools like glasses to emerging vision and mobility technologies, they unpack how design that meets people where they are can expand independence, dignity, and opportunity. Jason and Rebecca dig into the business and human sides of accessibility: why companies overlook a trillion-dollar market, how designing for difference can spark better products, and where frontiers like AI vision and neural implants might take us next. They also ask the big question — when technology doesn’t just restore ability but changes perception, what does that mean for being human?

    How Is AI Rewriting the Job Market?

    Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Chris Frew, founder and CEO of BioBuzz and CEO of Workforce Genetics, to explore how AI is reshaping the job market — not just by changing what work looks like, but how people get hired in the first place. In this episode, they dig into what Jason calls an “AI arms race” in hiring, where job seekers and employers are both using automation at scale. From AI-powered résumé tools and applicant tracking systems to first-round interviews conducted by bots, Chris breaks down how recruiters are navigating record application volumes — and what candidates can do to stand out when every résumé suddenly looks perfect.

    Do Hackers Hack Computers or People?

    Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Tina Williams-Koroma, founder and CEO of CyDeploy and TCecure, to explore a simple but unsettling question: do hackers hack computers — or do they hack people? In this episode, they dig into how social engineering, AI-generated content, and human psychology have become the primary attack surface for modern cyber threats. From deepfakes and impersonation scams to spyware targeting journalists and activists, Tina explains why cybersecurity today is less about breaking code and more about breaking trust — and how businesses and families can prepare for the scenarios no system is ever fully trained to handle.

    Will the Space Economy Help Fix Earth?

    Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Andrew Parlock, founder and CEO of Space Phoenix Systems, to explore how the space economy is moving from science fiction to everyday reality. From reusable launch systems to returnable payloads and zero-gravity manufacturing, they unpack how falling launch costs are turning low Earth orbit into an operating environment — not a destination. They dig into what this new economy means for business, sustainability, and the planet itself — from pharmaceuticals made in orbit to satellite networks connecting oceans and deserts alike. Andrew also shares why Maryland is uniquely positioned in this race and how companies like Space Phoenix are redefining access to orbit through logistics, not rockets.

They discuss the district’s new AI Guidance, how teachers are learning prompt-writing and responsible tool use, and why Baltimore chose a flexible, evolving framework instead of strict policy. They also talk about how students and parents are responding to tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, and what’s ahead with the district’s upcoming Day of AI — a hands-on event designed to make artificial intelligence accessible, understandable, and empowering for both educators and learners.

  8. Why Are Data Centers Suddenly So Controversial?

    Why Are Data Centers Suddenly So Controversial?

    jenny-abamu-podcast-notes.txt Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Jenny Abamu, education and infrastructure reporter for WAMU, to unpack Maryland’s rapidly growing data center boom — and the community backlash that’s followed. They explore how Governor Wes Moore’s push to make Maryland a data center hub has collided with local concerns about energy, land use, and environmental impact. From billion-dollar AI investments to zoning debates in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, Jason and Jenny dig into why these massive, mostly unseen buildings have suddenly become so politically visible. Together, they trace how the global race for AI compute — with trillions of dollars pouring into infrastructure from companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle — is reshaping everything from local power grids to public trust. It’s a look at how a technology most of us never see is transforming both the landscape and the conversation about Maryland’s economic future.
