What if your car knew more about you than you’d like it to? And what if this information was ending up in the hands of strangers? Join us as we dive into the contentious issue of data collection by car manufacturers with our guest co-host Marc Gregoire, and our dear friend Gwen Way shares her insights on the latest gadgets and gear. We also weigh in on how hackers might be your unexpected heroes and why older cars are gaining popularity among the privacy-conscious.

Fancy a journey from the highways to the cosmos? We shift gears and take you to the celestial world of comets; in particular, the newly discovered comet Nishimura. We will guide you on how to view this heavenly body, which has made its home near the Leo constellation. But that’s not it! We also tackle the growing menace of Facebook Messenger phishing scams that have business accounts in their crosshairs.

To round off, we venture into the intriguing universe of Kickstarter with Gwen Way, who introduces us to the ‘Ozlo Sleepbuds’ – a godsend for those seeking sweet slumber on Gadgets and Gear.

We also bring you the unique character of ‘Wild Turkey, 12 year old Distillers Reserve’ whiskey, a tantalizing blend of vanilla, rich caramel, and hints of spice. As we conclude, we ponder the place of technology in our lives and express our thanks to you, our faithful listeners. Be sure to join us next week for another enthralling exploration of today’s tech scene and tomorrow’s scientific landscape. Don’t miss it!
