Episode 279: Join us this week on TechTime Radio Season 7 finale, with Nathan Mumm: The Show That Makes You Go “HMMM.”

Welcome to our show as we guide you through all things tech and whiskey! This week on TechTime Radio, what happens when technology outpaces the rules meant to guide it, spotlighting the push for centralized federal AI regulation over fragmented state laws. We explore how a single national framework could streamline innovation yet risk sidelining local expertise, while lobbying from major AI players complicates the balance between industry power and public trust. From policy to pavement, Waymo’s missteps—riders passing out, a recall over stopped school buses, and a surreal three-car standoff in San Francisco—underscore the limits of autonomous systems and the need for accountability, transparency, and resilient design.

Not all is caution tape: we highlight the AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth transmitter for shared audio on the go, marvel at a $380,000 “human washing machine” blending luxury with wellness tech, and savor Jack Daniel’s single barrel heritage release. A nod to Perl reminds us that lasting tools aren’t always flashy, but those that solve real problems again and again. Join us for these stories and more today on TechTime Radio, where we bring you the latest tech news with a little whiskey on the side.
