September 30, 2020 16:00 - 14.7 MBHello, faithful listeners. I've been running the Technotopia podcast for a number of years and, frankly, it's been some of the most fun I've had in my life. That said, I wanted to explore tech in a bit more depth and connected with my friend Loren to build out Tech Hygiene, a chat show about how to stay sane when tech is going nuts. While I love the idea that tech can save us, it's not doing a very good job so we made this podcast. I love to hear from you about the change. I'm at john@biggs....
