Heavy Topics and Lighthearted laughs

There are a ton of different stories that can be covered by this show, they range in the stone serious to the laughably funny. We try to strike a balence to keep people both entertained and informed. With Caffeine in our bellies and concern in our hearts we try to walk the line between the stoic and the silly. This episode showcases that dichotomy quite well.

Today’s show has a mix of fun and frowns. While there is a good deal to get excited about concerning our digital future there are also storm clouds on the horizon as they’re always are. The recent Amazon Orwellian kerfuffle has bloomed, some would say mushroom clouded into a larger narrative on the subject of ownership and privacy.

There were so many different takes on privacy and security this week that i decided to devote a huge chunk of the show to covering these stories.

The CaffiNation is also very proud to take part in the Summer of Podcasts Contest Head on over and check out the shows rocking the codeword this week. Week Four is Underway!

All shoehorned into one compact show. I try to fit as much content as I can into a short period of time, Enjoy and as always let me know what you think of the show.
