AwesomeCast: Tech and Gadget Talk

Simpsons Invade Fortnite + Apple’s Bizarre New Gadget | AwesomeCast 757

12 Nov 2025

Description

This week, Michael Sorg and Dave Podnar dive into: • Apple’s iPhone “Pocket” sling (Issey Miyake) — a 3D-knit, cross-body way to carry your iPhone that channels the designer behind Steve Jobs’ turtlenecks. Is this fashion-meets-tech or iPod Socks 2.0?   • Fortnite’s Springfield takeover — an entire Simpsons-styled map, Battle Pass skins, and Sidekicks (pet-like companions). We compare Crew pricing to Game Pass and why this might be the cheapest way to stay current.   • Robotics & AI Discovery Day — we produced a rooftop live demo with SKA Robotics showing AI-assisted corrosion detection on local bridges. Here’s what worked, what wind ruined, and why this matters for infrastructure. Watch the talks via PRN.   • iPad Pro at 10 — the unrealized potential vs. real-world utility (monitors, comics, control apps) from a decade-old device that still pulls its weight.   • Pittsburgh International’s new terminal — what’s changing for travelers, especially those checking oversized gear.   • Chachi’s Video Game Minute — Zelda filming news, GTA 6 date chatter, RDR2 sales movement, Switch 2 momentum. (As heard in-show.)  • AI browsers & privacy — early takeaways after dog-fooding an agent-powered browser.  Watch / Subscribe: Tuesdays, 7pm ET. Tag #AC757 with your thoughts.
