You Cannot Miss The Tech Jawn!
Hey folks,
I'm really excited at the launch of the first podcast form my company that I have virtually nothing to do with.
The Tech Jawn is a weekly tech show conceived of and hosted by SMR Podcast's Robb Dunewood and co-hosted with SnobOs's Terrance Gaines and ABC's Stephanie Humphrey aka TechLifeSteph.
The idea is they take a longer look at the tech stories fo the week from their perspective as African-Americans. No code switching. No holding back opinions.
It's an excellent show and all the credit goes to Robb and his co-hosts. I'm proud to help provide the platform for the launch though. They ran a test episode during DTNS's pilot week and we're helping them get the feed off the ground and such.
So do me a favor and give them a subscribe. Try to out. The first official episode came out Thursday talking about Ransomware at Howard University, Facebook AI bias and why you can't just buy a dumb TV anymore.

Thanks y'all!
