The CyberGuy Report

Welcome to The CyberGuy Report. I’m Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson, and my new podcast explores the surprising ways technology shapes our everyday lives – from the gadgets we trust to the risks we don’t see coming. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the breakthroughs, stories, and people redefining how we live, work, and stay safe in a digital world.

[Ep. 1] CyberGuy Interviews a Humanoid, Reviews Apple's Latest, and Plays Real or AI Oct 15, 2025

Show notes

I knew I had to start the show with something unexpected... so I interviewed a robot! But not just any robot;The OM-1 humanoid robot is the most sophisticated creation yet from OpenMind, a revolutionary start-up that continues to make waves in the tech world. I talked with Iris – the latest model – alongside her creator Professor Jan Liphardt, to see how she would handle a podcast-style interview. I have to say...I was pretty blown away. She was articulate, respectful, and she even tried her best to be funny!

I also break down Apple's newest releases: what's impressive (and what's not) about the iPhone Air 17, whether the 17 Pro Max is really worth it, and how the AirPods Pro 3 stack up with their new heart-rate tracking and noise-canceling tricks. Plus, I test a trash-disposal robot called HARR-E, play a game where I guess if audio clips are real or AI-generated, and react to a few viral videos.

Welcome to Beyond Connected! I'm beyond excited to begin this new podcasting journey with you!
