Special Edition: Tech vs. Privacy - Do You Really Care? Jan 28, 2023

Show notes

Perhaps you're enjoying a new smart device you got over the holidays, or maybe you're trying to cut back on how much time you spend scrolling on social media. Some of you are probably trying to figure out a way to keep working from home, at least some of the time. No matter what, my guess is that your use of technology has gone up one way or another since the start of the pandemic.

So what does it all really mean for our data privacy? And do Americans really care about privacy, or will convenience win out almost every time? Today, I'm chatting with Joanna Stern, a senior personal tech columnist for the Wall Street Journal and a contributor for CNBC.

She's sharing the personal moments privacy does seem to matter to consumers, whether our devices are actually listening to us, and which newer technologies could be the next to transform our lives in the near future.

Joanna Stern's documentary: "The iPhone Baby: How 15 Years Shaped a Generation."

Special Edition: Revealing Gov't Secrets? Classified Docs Decoded Jan 21, 2023

Show notes

Two separate presidents – and two separate allegations of mishandling classified documents. Today, we're taking a look at the investigations into President Biden and former President Trump.

First, I'm joined by well-known criminal defense attorney Randy Zelin. He'll compare the Biden and Trump cases from a legal perspective – what's the same, what's different, how prosecutors might move forward, and what role politics may play in it all.

Richard Painter, former White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, then explains what's typically in classified documents, and why he says the system our government uses to keep track of them is seriously flawed.
