Aaron Posenowski is a law professor at Case Western Reserve University and the author of the Right to Repair Reclaiming the Things We Own. He says companies are trying to take away our right to repair by making repairs more expensive, difficult or even impossible. "We're seeing these kinds of barriers being thrown up really all across the economy in a way that has really dramatic effects"

Do we really own the devices we buy? ‘The Right to Repair’ author Aaron Perzanowki joins Adam to explain how companies are using their power to control the products we buy from them, even after they’ve left the store, and prevent us from repairing them ourselves. They discuss how this affects the environment, the livelihood of farmers, and the longevity of AirPods, and Aaron shares resources on how we can take power back and do our own repairs.
