TechTime with Nathan Mumm

Get ready to navigate the tumultuous seas of the streaming industry with us as we break down the Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount Global merger talks. Amid the business buzz, we've unearthed a mysterious hack that's sending shockwaves through the negotiation rooms. And that's just for starters! We're also serving up practical tech tips with a roundup of apps guaranteed to simplify your streaming adventures, making sure your movie nights are smooth sailing.
Tech Time Radio wouldn't be complete without a deep dive into the AI realm, and who better to guide us than Phil Hennessy, an AI maestro who's unwrapping the secrets of Google's Gemini system for us? Imagine the power of natural conversations extending into content creation, spanning text, audio, and even video - that's the magic Phil's discussing. And let's not forget the lighter side of our show, where we humorously savor Alberta Distillery's rye whiskey and poke fun at Canadian hijinks.
As we bid farewell to 2023, our final show takes a playful yet thoughtful glimpse into the future of AI and its growing role in our lives. Tying it all together, we end the year laughing over Burger King Brazil's hangover promotion antics and discussing the elusive quest for streamlining our digital entertainment. Toast with us to a year of tech talk that's as engaging as it is informative, and get set for another lap around the sun with your go-to crew at Tech Time Radio.
