In this podcast I spent the first 4 minutes solo explaining how the first 9 minutes of the podcast audio was lost while using Adobe Podcast Studio beta (emphasis on "beta") and briefly summarizing the discussion Jon and I had about Google sunsetting its podcast app in 2024 and a side discussion about NPR's odd regional subscription pricing.
For the remainder of the podcast, Jon Westfall and I discuss the Meta (Facebook's parent company) AI chatbot, MacOS Sonoma's features of interest to us, an Adaptive Audio oddity when using the AirPods Pro 2nd generation earbuds, and the new Withings Body Scan Scale.
