Episode 4: Internet Typos from Unicorns who Spy on Cargo Ships from Austin aka A New Hope

NOTE: The first story in this podcast makes fleeting mentions of things that aren't necessarily appropriate for children. Use your own discretion.

In this episode we talk about:

• Georgia HB 509
• taking down the Internet with a typo
• how startup unicorns are delaying or avoiding going public
• how the CIA is spying on you with your TV
• how a shipping company is increasing security and reliability while reducing cost with blockchain
• and the new way to get a (not always cheap) ride around Austin

We wrap up with a couple of app recommendations.
