How You Like Them Apple Products? - DTNS Live 5117
3/5/2026
Main Show starts at 10:00
We discuss all the big announcements Apple made this week including the MacBook Nano, new M5 SoC, and iPad Air. Is Jack Dorsey right to get ahead of it and right when he says “most companies are late?” to replace people with AI tools, or is this a mistake? And we have a new Zillow Game. Can you guess the correct price for these stunning properties before the staff do?
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Len Peralta, Nica Montford, Roger Chang, Joe.

What's Xbox's Game to Fame? - DTNS Live 5116
2/26/2026
Main Show starts at 9:48
Xbox replaces its leadership. Is this a sign that Microsoft is looking to sunset its gaming division or is there something else afoot? Samsung unveils its new Galaxy S26 lineup. We ask local Galaxy fan, Robb Dunewood, what he thinks of the new phone line? And Josh asks us “Do you think Meta is moving to close down Messenger?… Are they trying to get everyone on Facebook again OR are they planning to consolidate messaging into WhatsApp? Besides making it easier to maintain just one product, it might move to lock-in WhatsApp as the de facto world messaging app?”
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Roger Chang, Joe.
