The End of a Netflix Era is in the Mail
April 25, 2023 01:01 - 22 minutes - 28.1 MBAfter twenty-five years, Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail business. Will anyone wax poetic about its demise? We talk about the most surprising thing of all - that the DVD rental business still existed in 2023 - and we share fond memories of being able to sell still-wrapped pieces of outdated media. We also look at the other notable piece of Netflix news: the password-sharing crackdown is nigh. We try to make sense of how this will work for college students, road warriors, and everyone els...
Synthetic Grandma, Powered by AI
April 18, 2023 01:01 - 29 minutes - 28.1 MBHBO Max is no longer called HBO Max. With all the options at their fingertips, the new idea Warner Bros. Discovery came up with was… Max. There are bigger problems in the TV and streaming space than what to name a new service, though. We discuss. Seth has run into more issues with technology that may or may not be artificial intelligence. Shelly talks about how to define intelligence and how tools like ChatGPT work, think, and reason. Meanwhile, companies are talking about transferring ...
Twitter vs. the Media
April 11, 2023 01:01 - 29 minutes - 28.1 MBThe war between Elon Musk and journalists rages on, and Seth (as a broadcaster and journalist) is taking these attacks against the media personally. This episode is (once again) about Twitter as we (once again) try to make sense of the changes and decisions being made at Twitter HQ. We discuss Twitter and the anonymity business, the different forms of verification, and the confusion surrounding blue checks on the platform. As there really are no true 1:1 replacements, we also offer tip...
2023 NAB Show Preview
April 04, 2023 01:01 - 21 minutes - 28.1 MBThe time has come to celebrate our hundredth… and first… episode! Television is also celebrating its centennial, though it is turning 100 years old, not 100 weeks. Commemorating that occasion (as well as the past, present, and future of the medium) is the 2023 NAB Show (April 15-19 in Las Vegas, NV). The trade show, organized by the National Association of Broadcasters, has always been a must-visit for Shelly, as it showcases the best broadcast tech and offers clear insights into what is...
TikTok Goes to Washington
March 28, 2023 01:01 - 25 minutes - 28.1 MBTikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew spent last Thursday on Capitol Hill, getting grilled about the potential threat of TikTok to U.S. consumers. This episode of Techstream has Seth reflect on his time on The Hill, while Shelly remembers the time Mark Zuckerberg made the trip and proved how technologically clueless the politicians who grilled him proved to be. We talk about the hearing, the real issues facing TikTok, and what the politicians are missing. Also, this is Episode 100 and we completely...
Streaming TV: Viewers Have the Power!
March 21, 2023 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBOur last episode was pretty heavy, so this week marks a return to one of our favorite (and fairly light-hearted) topics: streaming TV! YouTube TV is raising its price from $65 to $72.99, citing the rising costs of content. We talk about how the streaming business model is totally different from the broadcast model, and why much of the power resides in the hands of the viewer. Shelly shares a few tips on how to ditch your landline and cut the cord once and for all. We talk about what we...
Silicon Valley Bank and the Psychology of Money
March 14, 2023 01:01 - 21 minutes - 28.1 MBTechstream is back! While we were gone, Apple announced a new yellow iPhone and Bob Iger echoed a superhero sentiment Shelly once shared. We catch up on some quick news stories. Silicon Valley Bank had a rough week last week. The government came to the rescue and the FDIC guaranteed depositors will get their money back. We talk about what happened, the “self-fulfilling prophecy” at play, and the true magic of SVB. Speaking of money, the show has tracked quiet quitting to laying flat to ne...
A Multiverse of Tech News: EVs, Web3, and More
February 21, 2023 01:01 - 26 minutes - 28.1 MBThis episode of Techstream is a return to our origin story: a grab bag of top tech news! Last week, Pres. Biden gave Elon Musk a call as the United States wants to make all-electric vehicle (EV) charging stations universal in an effort to quell range anxiety and help improve the ability to quick-charge your EV. It is reminiscent of the EU forcing Apple to pivot from Lightning connectors to USB-C. We discuss the upsides (and the annoying drawbacks) of universal chargers. Meanwhile… Dapper ...
The Future of Regional Sports Networks
February 14, 2023 01:01 - 33 minutes - 28.1 MBDiamond Sports Group is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and may not make some annual payments they normally make to sports teams. How will this change the sports TV landscape? We have covered the intersection of professional sports and streaming television many times before, but the fallout from this could dynamically impact the way fans watch sports on TV and where the rights to these games wind up. In this episode, we talk about the impact of teams losing out on real money, what it me...
ChatGPT Plus: Worth the Cost?
February 07, 2023 01:01 - 28 minutes - 28.1 MBOpenAI just announced the launch of ChatGPT, a paid tier for their popular language model. In this episode, we discuss the ways to help users get the most out of using ChatGPT, whether or not you are the type of person who might want to pony up twenty bucks a month, and the requisite bits of education you must bring to ChatGPT to use the tool to its fullest potential. We go toe-to-toe with opposing viewpoints about the usefulness of and need for ChatGPT, we look ahead to the upcoming war ...
Seeing the Truth in Facial Recognition Technology
January 31, 2023 01:01 - 19 minutes - 28.1 MBMadison Square Garden is The Worlds Most Famous Arena - and also a building utilizing facial recognition technology that is turning some would-be fans away, rather than allowing entrance. We are in a new world. Technology has augmented our ability to recognize people around us. The key point: recognizing a face does not mean the technology knows the context. In this episode, we talk about the controversy surrounding the technology in use at MSG, facial recognition technology in use in o...
How to Understand the Alphabet Soup of Video Monitors
January 24, 2023 01:01 - 24 minutes - 28.1 MBWe love new tech - so does everyone - and it seems like some of the hottest new tech available on the market is monitor and television display tech. If you have gone to buy a new monitor or a new TV recently, though, you surely have run into what Shelly calls the alphabet soup of video monitors. There is a reason some 65-inch televisions are $400, and a reason other 65-inch televisions are $4,000. We are here to offer some advice on your next display, whether you are looking for a new TV,...
CES 2023: The Best of the Show
January 10, 2023 01:01 - 31 minutes - 28.1 MBShelly just got back from CES 2023 in Las Vegas, where he saw a ton of incredible innovations that will soon be changing our world. He shares his experience of returning to the (in-person) show and being in the same room as living, breathing human beings. Shelly and Seth talk about the best tech and the overarching themes found in Las Vegas this year: from health and wellness to automotive to production capabilities and beyond. Plus, Seth proudly shares some love for fellow Syracuse alum...
The NFL Sunday Ticket is on YouTube. What Happens Now?
January 03, 2023 01:01 - 33 minutes - 28.1 MBWhile we were on our Christmas break, the NFL made a deal with YouTube - not Apple - to move its Sunday Ticket Package to a streaming service for the first time. (Google has announced that you will not have to be a YouTube TV subscriber for access.) There is a potential new caveat: reports say you will be able to subscribe to a specific team for a much more affordable price. With these new options, who will pony up for the full Sunday Ticket package? We talk about what the future of watchi...
Twitter Takes Aim at Journalists
December 20, 2022 01:01 - 20 minutes - 28.1 MBThis is our last episode of 2022! Thank you for listening to the show this year. If you plan to go to Las Vegas for CES 2023, make sure to visit shellypalmer.com/poap to request your POAP to make sure you get invited to all the cool stuff Techstream and The Palmer Group are doing. Twitter has started suspending journalists who were covering Elon Musk's private plane. While some of those accounts have been restored, things have not calmed down at Twitter HQ. Elon just posted a poll, asking...
TV & Movie Recommendations for the Holiday Season
December 06, 2022 01:01 - 37 minutes - 28.1 MBWere still on Twitter… but not talking about it today, as todays episode is all about new TV! Well… we get to that after Seth shares some good recent Twitter experiences (and bad recent electric vehicle experiences) hes had, and Shelly talks about “The Twitter Files” and Elon as Twitters new ringleader and cheerleader. Then, with the holiday season in full swing, Shelly and Seth share some picks for the best shows (new and old) and streaming services theyve discovered (or re-discovered) r...
Data Backup 101: How to Save Your Files (and Money)
November 29, 2022 01:01 - 33 minutes - 28.1 MBWere getting into the holiday season, and Seth has become Scrooge (at least when it comes to modern TV commercials aired during the holiday season). We open the show by venting about the ad behaviors that have been naughty and the ones that have been nice. Then, we get into backup software and how to protect your data the right way. Seth didnt trust the results he found when searching online, so he turned to Shelly for guidance. Shelly talks about the pros and cons of various online stora...
Imagining a World without Twitter
November 22, 2022 01:01 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBWelcome to Techstream, the official podcast of Twitter. (A joke, but only sort of.) Before we dive into the latest news surrounding Elon Musk's newest company, Shelly saw Wakanda Forever since our last episode, and he and Seth engage in some more (spoiler-free, once again) discussion about the new movie. As far as the “normal Twitter user's” experience goes, Twitter still seems to largely exist and operate the same way it did before Elon took over. That may not stay true forever, though,...
Wakanda Forever. FTX… Not So Much
November 15, 2022 01:01 - 31 minutes - 28.1 MBAre we… really, truly not talking about Twitter today? Nope! (Well, kind of.) Seth saw Wakanda Forever over the weekend and offers a brief (largely) spoiler-free review. The respect paid to Chadwick Boseman? Great! To T'Challa? Not so much. We talk about if they should have recast the role or used generative AI to return Boseman to the big screen. Then, there's the collapse of FTX, which (if you haven't been following the tech trades) is more like Enron than WeWork: overnight… it was just...
Twitter: The Elon Channel and Thermonuclear Name & Shame
November 08, 2022 01:01 - 34 minutes - 28.1 MBLast week, we talked about the future of Twitter under Elon Musk. Between the time we recorded and released the episode, it was already (wildly) out of date. Twitter's rules and standards around verification have totally changed, more advertisers have paused their campaigns on the platform, and hundreds of Twitter employees have been fired. Is Twitter going away? We've asked that question about TikTok a number of times on this podcast, but now the question pivots to Elon Musk's new compan...
Elon Musk Owns Twitter. Now What?
November 01, 2022 01:01 - 28 minutes - 28.1 MBElon Musk has said a lot of things about what he wants Twitter to be. He's noted issues he has with bots, content moderation, and more. The reality is one of two options: either Elon has deeply thought through Twitter's content management issues… or he hasn't. Today, we talk about whether or not Elon's Twitter problems are solvable, how Twitter is different from other platforms, and which kinds of users still find value in Twitter. Plus, a Techstream POAP reminder!
State of the Union: Electric Vehicles (EVs)
October 25, 2022 01:01 - 37 minutes - 28.1 MBSeth spent this past weekend traveling all over the Northeast, driving from event to event in his hybrid vehicle. It made him wonder: if he were driving a 100% electric car, how would he have gotten where he needed to go? We're kicking off a two-part Techstream mini-series about the state of electric vehicles (EVs). We talk about utility companies incentivizing EV owners to get chargers installed, EVs as a “lifestyle choice,” and what's being done to quell range anxiety. Here's where you,...
Political AirTagging and the Future of Fair Use
October 18, 2022 01:01 - 25 minutes - 28.1 MBIn case you've been living under a rock, we're in the heart of election season with the midterm elections just a few weeks away. For one race in Pennsylvania, things got so heated - and lawn signs were stolen so often - that an Apple AirTag was used to locate the trash receptacle where all the stolen signs wound up. We talk about the ways technology is bleeding into elections and political races. Then, we discuss the Supreme Court case determining “fair use” and Prince's likeness. We ...
Local News and Linear TV: Alive and Well or Walking Dead?
October 11, 2022 01:01 - 29 minutes - 28.1 MBLocal news has been a television staple for many viewers for years. Do they have any need to exist in 2022? That's the topic of today's episode. Every local news broadcast seemingly starts with reporting on a fire or a stabbing or other local tragedy as stations vie for relevance. The old adage of “if it bleeds, it leads” has never been more true. Will local news die out, or is it here to stay? There's also a vast difference between local news in New York City (where there are always thin...
Deepfaking the Future
October 04, 2022 01:01 - 24 minutes - 28.1 MBShelly and Seth are both under the weather, so we're using deep fake technology to record this episode for you. (Just kidding. Kind of.) Shelly just got back from the Block IM Park Conference in Germany, and he recaps the ways European sports leagues do things differently than the stateside ones we know and love, along with how they're trying to enhance the experience for sports fans across the world. Then, Shelly and Seth talk about Bruce Willis selling his likeness to Web3 firm Deepcake...
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation): Worth the Money?
September 27, 2022 01:01 - 23 minutes - 28.1 MBThe iPhone 14 may have gotten most of the headlines when Apple unveiled it a few weeks ago, but it wasn't the only new gear that Apple debuted. When we did our episode on Apple's latest and greatest, Seth doubted that the new AirPods Pro would be worth the money. Shelly wanted to test that out, so he picked up Apple's new headphones and took them for a test drive. (Well, it was a test walk.) In this episode, Shelly shares his thoughts on the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation), and whether or no...
Amazon Unveils the Future of NFL Football
September 20, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBWe may be a nation divided, but we come together for one thing: the NFL. This season has been great so far and is offering a brand new way to watch: exclusively on a streaming service. While we've watched Premier League on Peacock and Friday night MLB games on Apple TV+, this is another beast altogether: it's the NFL on a streaming service. We discuss the innovative ways Amazon streamed the game, the biggest viewer complaints, and why it's disingenuous to complain about football games bei...
Apple iPhone 14: Is it Worth the Money?
September 13, 2022 01:01 - 32 minutes - 28.1 MBWe're back! We were busy in our time off, and so was Apple, which just unveiled a new line of iPhones, new Apple Watches, new AirPods, and more. For the first time in years (if not ever!), Shelly won't have the new iPhone the day it comes out. He explains why, talks about his pre-order experience (and frustrations), and the lessons learned from past upgrade cycles. If you want an iPhone, only an iPhone will do. That said, if you have an iPhone 13, do you need the iPhone 14? The answer: it...
Asteroid Defense Systems & Amazon the Xenomorph
August 30, 2022 01:01 - 20 minutes - 28.1 MBDo you love Earth-murdering genre movies, like Armageddon? Shelly does, and this week he was overjoyed to receive this press release: “NASA Invites Media to Witness World's First Planetary Defense Test.” We talk about NASA's latest endeavor and try to talk about whether or not the public funding they're using includes X-wing or TIE starfighters. If we all survive the asteroid crash, we'll all need healthcare… but will it come from Amazon? Amazon recently announced it's shutting down Amazon...
Now Hear This: Copyright Issues and OTC Hearing Aids
August 23, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBIf you have a podcast on Spotify, you might have received an email last week flagging some of your episodes for copyright infringement. This is the result of a new Spotify algorithm that aims to make sure podcast hosts are using only the content they own. Seven of Seth's 300+ episodes of Hall of Justice were flagged for potential infringement. Shelly and Seth spend time discussing “fair use” (and its misconceptions) and why the rules seem to be arbitrarily applied both within Spotify's eco...
Teens Admit: They're "Almost Constantly" Online
August 16, 2022 01:01 - 23 minutes - 28.1 MBGoogle is one of the most useful tools in the world - and TikTok is even more prevalent. We've talked about the rapid rise in TikTok's popularity in past episodes. Still, a new study from the Pew Research Center found that social media usage among teens has doubled, and nearly half of all teens are “almost constantly” online. We break down the results of the new study and compare how today's teens are marketed as compared to past generations. We also look at the type of direct messaging an...
What Happened to Batgirl?
August 09, 2022 01:01 - 26 minutes - 28.1 MBFilm Twitter spent last week in a tizzy, trying to parse rumors and separate fact from fiction about HBO Max, Discovery+, and Batgirl. When the dust settled, it was clear that HBO Max isn't dying, a new (combined) app is coming next summer… and Batgirl is still not coming out. Today, we peer into the Techstream crystal ball to get a sense of what the new app could look like, what it could cost, and how its combined user base will interact with its content. We also talk about why Batgirl wa...
TikTok Has Copyright Issues
August 02, 2022 01:01 - 31 minutes - 28.1 MBTikTok is one of Shelly's great online loves, but recent experiences have soured Seth on the platform, as recent videos have led to copyright flags. Coming from the world of music composition, the topic of publishing and licensing rights is firmly in Shelly's wheelhouse. Today's episode takes a look at copyright flags and rights ownership, as well as how AI models can be trained to listen, recognize, and flag violations. Seth rants about other frustrations on the platform. Shelly proposes...
Linear TV is Dead! (Or Is It?)
July 26, 2022 01:01 - 28 minutes - 28.1 MBLinear TV is dead! That's what Netflix CEO Reed Hastings thinks, at least. There's more to the story, though, like Netflix's shrinking subscriber base and a murky future without any major franchises to entice new users. So… what happens now? On today's episode, we take a trip down TV's memory lane and look back at how shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Game of Thrones changed the game for all networks, how streaming devices could look to evolve and adapt and earn new revenue, an...
What's Next for Twitter?
July 19, 2022 01:01 - 26 minutes - 28.1 MBWhen Elon Musk said he was buying Twitter, we recorded a super-fun episode about the future of free speech and what it all meant. Fast forward to today, and now Elon Musk and Twitter are probably going to court over whether he should be forced to buy the social media company for $44 billion. Elon's trying to back out of the deal because he thinks Twitter is lying about the number of bots and fake accounts on the platform. At least, that's what he is saying. So… what happens now? Shelly a...
What is the Future of Radio?
July 12, 2022 01:01 - 24 minutes - 28.1 MBSeth and Shelly both started their careers in radio. Even if you don't pay close attention to the numbers, it's easy to see that stations are downsizing. That leaves a big question: with the advent of Instagram and Facebook, where does radio fit in the lexicon? On today's episode, we talk about radio's place in our “attention economy,” the media landscape's shift to podcasts, and its role in our collective future. We also explore the future of infotainment in cars: what we want, what we n...
TikTok Under Siege Again
July 05, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBShelly's been a TikTok superstar for a while, and Seth has been using it to push his other podcasts forward. Just about everyone else has been using the app, too, as earlier this year TikTok became the most-visited website in the world, more popular than even Google. Last week, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr gave the CEOs of Apple and Google until July 8 to respond to his open letter asking them to remove TikTok from their app stores. Everyone is weaponizing data. In this episode, we wonde...
Amazon Alexa's Most Harmful Feature Ever
June 28, 2022 01:01 - 29 minutes - 28.1 MBAmazon just had a conference where it announced that Alexa will soon be able to speak to you with any voice of any person, living or dead. All it takes for Alexa to do this is a minute of audio. Shelly used this kind of deepfake technology during The Palmer Group's Innovation Series Summit this year, but the technology has advanced exponentially from January, and we're on the verge of something truly horrifying. We talk about why this could break bad and the potential ramifications, as we...
The Crypto Crash and A.I.'s Judgment Day
June 21, 2022 01:01 - 21 minutes - 28.1 MBWe have “a potpourri of chaos” on this week's episode of Techstream. With everything going on… why do U.S. politicians care about USB-C? If you (rightly) hate that your iPhone and iPad and MacBook may all use different connectors… it's important to keep in mind that this legislation is the road to hell, paved with good intentions. We talk about the drawbacks of USB-C and Shelly proposes a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Then, we talk about the crypto market, with some cryptocurr...
The Best Parts of iOS 16
June 14, 2022 01:01 - 26 minutes - 28.1 MBShelly and Seth recap the June 6th, 2022 Worldwide Developer Conference Apple Keynote, which highlighted the preview of iOS 16. This episode features a recap of all of the new features, both ones they liked and others they disliked. Some of the new features discussed are the improved home screen, the new maps features, new security and privacy features, facetime, AirPods app, and much more. Seth also explains what impresses him about Lizzo, and the episode ends with the catchiest rap you ...
62. Should You Spy On Your Kids?
June 07, 2022 01:01 - 35 minutes - 28.1 MBIn the aftermath of the horrific shooting in Uvalde, Texas, many questions were raised about the use of social media by the shooter. It raised questions in our episode about what kids under 18 do on social media, and how to see if they are getting themselves into trouble. As a parent, there are many tools on the market that can help people see what their kids do on their devices. Parents/guardians can also limit usage on specific apps, including social media, and devices altogether. Where ...
Are Self-Driving Cars Safe?
May 31, 2022 01:01 - 36 minutes - 28.1 MBBetween Herbie the Love Bug and KITT from Knight Rider, we have been obsessed with self-driving cars. Tesla has produced Autopilot, while other cars have Adaptive Cruise Control. The debate about autonomous vehicles has focused on safety. Are these vehicles safer than a normal, human-driven vehicles? Still, if your car can “take over,” should you still be paying attention? There have been well-documented cases of crashes where the AI misjudged its situation but is it user error if the dri...
Google vs. Congress
May 24, 2022 01:01 - 28 minutes - 28.1 MBPoliticians are coming to break up Big Tech (companies like Google and Facebook). There's a long history of vertically-integrated companies, but this move is so ill-conceived that it proves that our elected officials don't have a clue what's going on. Is putting the right ad in front of the right person at the right place at the right time criminal? How is that bad for anyone? The big issue is that this act doesn't frame the problem. In this episode, we frame what's being discussed and w...
The Crypto Crash: Lessons Learned
May 17, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBShelly just got back from Germany, and while he was flying back, crypto fell apart in a way that is testing the faith of the faithful. Today, we're not trying to explain WHY this happened or what to do now. (It's also important to remember that we're not offering financial advice and we are not licensed, financial advisors.) Instead, we're talking about understanding “the allure of cryptocurrency” and why so many people thought it was a “get rich quick” scheme. We also compare our current...
Our Passwordless Future: Less is More
May 10, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBThe thing that bothers Seth the most in life? Forgetting a password. We all have password managers, but when you need to enter passwords across fifty different devices, things become a bit more… complicated. (And annoying.) The good news: we're one step closer to a passwordless future! The FIDO Alliance is here to save us all a bunch of headaches. We talk about their plan for that blissful future. Before we get there, though, having strong passwords is still important. We offer tips on c...
Are Apple AirTags Helping Someone Stalk Me?
May 03, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBApple AirTags were designed to make our lives easier. Misplace your keys or wallet? Slap an AirTag on it and you'll always know exactly where it is! Technology is great, right? Until it's used for malicious purposes. Since AirTags launched, multiple women have come forward and shared stories about how they've been tracked or stalked using the technology. While Apple has built-in anti-stalking features in the devices, they're not incredibly intuitive to enable. We walk you through how the ...
What is Elon Musk Going to Do with Twitter?
April 26, 2022 01:01 - 28 minutes - 28.1 MBThe biggest news story in the tech world over the past two weeks has been Elon Musk's desire to buy Twitter. The deal at first seemed impossible (or at the very least improbable), but now the deal is official: Twitter has accepted Elon's offer of $44 billion to buy the company. Now that the deal is done, it's time to make sense of things. Why does Elon Musk want to own Twitter? What does he want to do with the platform? We discuss what Elon buying Twitter means for both the company and i...
What the Hell Does a VPN Actually Do?
April 19, 2022 01:01 - 23 minutes - 28.1 MBWe've talked about what happens when major companies get hacked when Shelly gets hacked (both his crypto hack and getting spoofed this week!), when just about anyone gets hacked. No matter who we're talking about, though, one thing that always comes up is VPNs. Seth's kind of at a loss. He's heard everything from both ends of the spectrum: from employers having the ability to see EVERYTHING on his computer if he used a VPN to being able to completely mask where his computer is physically l...
Apple Strikes Out in First MLB Streaming Venture
April 12, 2022 01:01 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBPlay ball! The baseball season started, and it's the first season in 25 years that Seth isn't covering baseball. While the pace of play may have chased him away from the sport - at least for now - many others are still watching. When MLB resolved its lockout last month, they made two quiet announcements: they'd start streaming Friday night games on Apple TV and Sunday midday games on Peacock. Streaming is no longer complicated or restrictive as it once was. While technophobes exist, the pr...
Axie's Hack and the "Crypto Kool-Aid": First-Hand Tales from NFT|LA
April 05, 2022 01:01 - 24 minutes - 28.1 MBShelly just got back from a week spent at NFT|LA, and he's got stories to share! He talks about the interactions he had and the panels he moderated, like being on-stage with The Jiho, the co-founder of Axie Infinity, on the same day of their massive hack. Shelly and Seth then discuss what, exactly, Axie Infinity is - and what's going to happen with all that stolen money. They also talk about the government regulation that is bearing down on the Web3 world and explain what, exactly, an NFT...
