  • Female cohost has unnecessary potty mouth. Very disgusting to hear. Seriously needs a bleep button.

    Why in the world does she have such a dirty potty mouth? None of the guys cuss on a tech podcast. It is so off putting and jarring to hear such unnecessary cuss words from the woman.

    I would like to support your show but you no Apple ad free subscription option available for listeners who do not want to spread ourselves around the Internet on Patreon and other websites. I must say I’m enjoying this podcast, I’m late but I’ve been tuning in more often. I know you don’t bill yourself as a finance... more

  • Window to another world

    Maybe the title is exaggerating a bit, but this show definitely gets me to think about tech topics in a way that other shows typically do not. Listening has often been an eye opening experience to considerations I personally have never had to make.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anthropic's Invisible Ink
Q: Tell us a little bit, take us back before MASK NextGen was born. What work were you doing, and what was the impetus for creating MASK NextGen?
I came from a cybersecurity-focused background with experience in hardware at Intel and Dell, and my motivation grew from seeing how much education and schools struggle with digital safety. MASK NextGen emerged to scale the work I had been doing personally through TriVigil, turning digital citizenship and AI readiness into an engaging, gamified curriculum for students.
