Ep. 078 - Thoughts on the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma”

In this episode, Bob & Kevin discuss the newly released, Netflix, documentary "The Social Dilemma"  (https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224). If you have not watched it, we strongly encourage you to do so. Topics covered range from AI to social engineering and the impact that social media has on our world today and its threat to freedom as we know it.

Shortly after the show was recorded, this article was posted to Medium and we think it adds some great flavor to the discussion: https://medium.com/@jeff_seibert/the-mechanics-and-psychology-behind-the-social-dilemma-719d618aa8ce

Ep. 073 - We are listening and trying to learn, but pretty convinced Mark Zuckerberg is not! Analysis of Mark’s recent letter to his employees

Things in the world are heavy right now, we get that. The Bob & Kevin Show is listening and we strongly believe that Black Lives Matter. We are also laser-focused on the impact companies like Facebook and Twitter have on the collective social and political mood of not just our nation, but the world. In this episode, we discuss some of Facebook's and Twitter's reactions and responses to world events addressing racial equality and some of the garbage being posted to social media by "dear leader" - you know the orange guy we are talking about!

Ep. 069 - Social Engineering in the social distancing era and the creation of an official data monitoring service

Bob & Kevin discuss the recent flood of "list your security question answers here" types of social engineering social media posts that have been all over our social feeds in the recent "COVID lockdown era" and a few more topics related to social engineering, personal data leakage and more.

Amazingly, we actually feel like we DID solve some things in this episode, you will just have to listen to see what it is that we solved. In all seriousness, some good practical content in this episode (well at least we think so).

Ep. 056 - Is TikTok really a Huawei sized problem or is it the new cheap keyboard you just got - and did Edward Snowden foreshadow all of this?

Bob & Kevin continue their crusade against sketchy tech practices and in this episode discuss how the U.S. Government is taking issue with Tik Tok because it is an app developed out of China and it might be stealing our data... but apparently Facebook, Google and the like are just fine, because the government can actually request any of their data - or so Edward Snowden says!

We talk about some other tech stuff too. Hey, as always, reach out to us at https://twitter.com/bobandkevinshow and let us know what you like, what you don't like, or what you want to hear us discuss more of.

Thanks for listening!

Ep. 055 - Is zuckCoin aka Libra and their digital wallet offering Calibra f*cked before it is even reality?

In this episode Bob & Kevin break down the recent House Financial Services Committee hearing with Mr. Zuckerberg defending his pending crypto currency, Libra and the digital wallet service for said crypto coin, Calibra. We thought he hearings were both informative and entertaining with plenty of content to make fun of!

Speaking of making fun of stuff... feel free to make fun of Bob for his HUGE technical mess up with his microphone. In the open you can even get more detail on how funny the opening exchanges of the podcast actually are :)

As always... hit us up on the tweeters - https://twitter.com/bobandkevinshow [but don't complain about Bob's mic -- really ;) ] and let us know what you like or don't like about the show or let us know what tech related topic you would like to hear us discuss next.

Thanks!
Bob & Kevin
