Podcast Episode #220 – Rick Springfield

June 16, 2015

We make it an entire episode without incident! And then promptly have an incident after we stop recording.

Zuke may actually be psychic at this point, as it turns out every major tech company has been working on things he's been talking about.  Microsoft admits to what we've been saying for years (all of us). Even Blackberry's ex-CEO says we've been right all along!  It's been a weird week!
