Today we’re bringing you an episode on chips. No, not potato chips. Kevin has been pitching an episode on the truly fascinating world of chips and semiconductors for quite a while, but our friends at the The Ezra Klein Show got to it first.

We'll be back with our regularly scheduled tech coverage, with Kevin and Casey next week.
