The Unveticast

By Michael Giesen

Technology moves incredibly fast and in many different directions, which makes it difficult to wade through the nice of it all and determine exactly what's valuable. The Unvetica Podcast is an attempt to solve this issue in our own small way - by talking about technology as we hear and learn about it ourselves. This is meant to be a sort of technological stream of consciousness that we can then pull questions from - and ultimately have conversations around.
