Joe and Joshua, along with special guest Robert McGinley Myers, introduce themes for the show and discuss everyday experiences and life-altering events we have with technology.


Joshua Peiffer and Joe Darnell discuss people’s unhealthy obsessions for technology, and how we put the habits in check. Along with special guest, Robert McGinley Myers, we take a personal account of how our tools/devices have molded us for the better, and sometimes gives us cause to fear the unknown in a technologically advanced world.
