This week, we spend some time talking about the Apple event, wonder how long iPhones should last, hope Nintendo is actually making enough classic consoles, and take a look at some bad things that have happened on the internet. Then in the paranormal segment, we get spooky and present a primer on ghosts that leads to a few tangents. Finally, we open up our mail bag and read some "listener" mail.
This week, Angelo comes to the sad realization that his magazines are gone forever, setting up a RetroPie, the September Apple event, the possibility of Apple moving into media, and when to upgrade your gear. Then the guys talk about the government’s acknowledgment of Area 51, the possibility of other “Areas,” and the Double Density Scale of Ufology.
This week, we talk about our new website and moving our podcast to Fireside.fm. Then we look at how some apps invade your privacy which prompts Angelo to give out battery saving hot tips. Also, classic Nintendo sales tactics and the SNES Classic, and the sadness that comes from the destruction of videogame magazines. Our paranormal segment stares right at UFOs and the eclipse, Hangar 18, the difference between Area 51 and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and we try to figure out what the government is hiding in these places.
As we prepare for a very special episode 19, we go back into the vaults to pull out a previously-recorded but unreleased episode 18.
