We discuss the abrupt closing of Chrissie's alma mater, UArts, and whether it is indicative of a trend in higher education. Are "art" degrees (or most degrees) just useless anyway? Did Covid screw everything up for universities? Have schools invested too much in getting "fancy"? Plus, Chrissie discovers that Walmart has cheap prices, we have a few technical difficulties, and end on a hopeful note that maybe Temple will save the day in the end.

Miss Chrissie returns to the POD to react to rumors of some "AI" features expected to be announced at Apple's upcoming WWDC developer conference. Some of her reactions are truly priceless. We also explore what types of "AI" tools are actually kind of useful and which ones we find kind of creepy (cough Microsoft Recall cough).

Plus, updates on Jenkintown 150 events, Chrissie's yoga studio, and the story of how a pallet of floor tiles destroyed Steve's shoulder. It's a short and sweet episode.

Joe Montone has been bringing live music to communities for over 14 years. With a soon-to-be-launched nonprofit called Stage United on the horizon and the third year producing the Abington Art Center's Summer Concert Series about to begin, Joe is making waves in the regional live music and performance scene. In this episode, we talk about concerts, air guitar competitions, the amazing Tile Works venue, creating a nonprofit, and more. Joe is doing fantastic things for the Doylestown and Jenkintown/Abington communities and we think you'll be as excited as we were to learn what cool events he has cooking this summer. You'll want to watch until the end for a fun A Game Called Something that will finally reveal why Steve would be a terrible Walmart greeter.

The Vision Pro has officially launched and who better to discuss it and the new "spatial computing" era than friend of the pod, Kotaro Fujita. In this episode we attempt to answer two important questions: What is Vision Pro and What can you do with it? We discuss what it's like to use the product, what software will be available at launch, and what new kinds of experiences early adopters may be able to try out. We also explore whether Vision Pro and devices like it could lead to even more device-centric isolation and the special parenting concerns that come with yet another digital distraction in a developing child's life. We also speculate out loud about how "AI" tools and "spatial computing" may complement each other in future devices. Near the end, we go on some amusing tangents describing the experiences of explaining to kids what life was like in the "old days" of home phones and Blockbuster video. There are some great insights in this episode for anyone wondering what all the Vision Pro excitement is about.

For a a more technical discussion with Kotaro about Vision Pro from a developer's perspective, check out episode #58 of the Side Project Spotlight podcast when it is released. Links below!

Chrissie learns to code with the help of the programming environment, Scratch! Chrissie's youngest was playing with Scratch the other day and Steve decided to check it out for himself and build a little demo Pong game because a) it's fun and b) Chrissie has never heard of pong! Together during Steve's lunch break, the PIC add a feature to the game while exploring basic programming concepts. Is Chrissie going to quit dance to become a game developer now?

The PIC saw some UFOs! Really! After discussing the lights in the sky and since Steve can't stop thinking about the Hulu movie, "No One Will Save You," he thought it would be fun to try to poorly explain the plot to Chrissie in order to learn some tips for surviving the apparently imminent alien invasion of Jenkintown. Along the way, Steve kind of reviews the film, but mostly it's just Chrissie being confused while Steve rants and raves and it's all pretty entertaining (hopefully)! The movie WILL BE SPOILED! You've been warned!

JAG Cast | Episode #122

This week, Chrissie & Steve see a movie! At the time this is published, Chrissie is on vacation, but before she left, the PIC recorded this review of the latest Spider-Verse movie after seeing it at Jenkintown's own Hiway Theater. Steve didn't hate it, but didn't really like it that much either and it made him temporarily color blind. Chrissie really liked Spider-Punk and the hip-hop music. Both thought the movie was two pee breaks too long. But, Gwen fighting in ballet shoes almost made the whole thing worth it. Minor spoilers!

JAG Cast | Episode 120

The PIC are back and the pod gets a new name! We welcome returning friend of the show, Kotaro Fujita to this inaugural JAG Cast to talk about creating digital art, especially with iPads. Learn about Kotaro's journey to become the amazing app designer/developer he is today. There is some fun reminiscing about app design trends, the original Sim City game, and the early days of the iPad. The discussion then goes in more depth on specific tools that can be used to create static art, animation, and even get something into the App Store. Don't miss the links this week! Finally and expectedly, a rousing A Game Called Something goes off the rails with tangents about identifying the nature of Grimace the purple McDonald's mascot as well as unironically using the phrase, "touching grass." We're getting better at this video thing! I think.

This week, the PIC are trying something new...VIDEO! So we don't have a guest, but we do have two triumphs to celebrate! First, Steve talks about the great time he had at John Faye's amazing book release party for "The Yin and the Yang of it All" at the Ardmore Music Hall. Then, Chrissie celebrates 10 years of Jenkintown Dance Arts! It's a short and sweet episode that Steve spent way too long editing in Final Cut Pro, so enjoy the Multicam because that may not happen much in the future! LOL.

This week, we return to our ongoing "WTF..?" series where Chrissie asks Steve, "WTF is AI?" and Steve tries to answer. The PIC learn about Large Language Models, creepy chat bots, and useful ways to leverage "AI" to avoid mundane tasks like writing simple ad copy. There is also discussion of some of the weird stories in this space like the NYT author who creeped himself out talking to Bing or the poor souls who fell in love with their AI avatars only to have their "relationships" destroyed with a software update. Plus, learn why an AI thinks Chrissie is like "Wonder Woman!" All that and more, plus lots of links in the show notes...LIVE from the 19046!

This week, the PIC chat with co-hosts of Human Robot Jenkintown’s Tuesday night open mic, Dylan Blazick & Alex Corson. We discuss the open mic scene, how good Human Robot beers are, and a surprising Camera Thief connection that involves a ribbon factory! In a rousing A Game Called Something, Steve provides actionable advice for his past self if he ever gets that time machine working and once again, the PIC’s experience at the tiny lighthouse in Havre de Grace reminds us all to do better research when planning a birthday surprise. This is a very Jenkintown focused episode full of references, so if you are playing the drinking game at home…prepare your liver!

This week, the PIC are joined by singer, actor, dancer, and podcaster, Tammy Tuckey to discuss all things Disney and more! But first, Steve is confused by the orchestra, everyone is bummed by the sad state of Chuck-E-Cheese, and no one really believes Avatar is popular. Tammy shares how she managed to make not one, but two cover albums of Disney tunes and recounts a magical experience with Peter Pan. Steve laments that Disney is a poor steward of Star Wars, but everyone agrees the parks are pretty cool. Then, in a rousing A Game Called Something, we learn what crocodile tastes like and that Chrissie really loves boots!

Technically, Steve's voice is back, but it's still a little rough at the time we recorded this most excellent pod with the very interesting and talented, Dom & Jesse. With the tag line, "Summer All Year," Dom & Jesse are a double-threat pop act that can play an impressive live show before bringing the beats as an up-and-coming DJ act. With excellent heads for branding and business, these two were a ton of fun to talk to about mentorship, music, surviving the pandemic, the promise and peril of Omegle, and much more. As usual, we end with some very entertaining rounds of A Game Called Something where you will learn that yes, Steve needs a new wardrobe. All that and more...LIVE from the 19046!

Steve is back this week, but sounds like he is gargling rocks; ah the joys of winter cold season. But, spirits are high because this week's guest is Righteous Jolly, a wonderful actor, musician, and the "7th best trivia host in Bucks County!" In this wide-ranging conversation, Righteous discusses his upcoming album, the amazing Levittown Christmas Carol production, his school life in NYC, being on the wall of Broken Goblet's bathroom, and so much more! We end with a rousing Game Called Something that begins with some bawdy Norwegian singing and just continues to go off the rails from there. This is a really fun episode. Enjoy!
