Addicted to Placebos

I think the folks over at Buzz Out Loud nailed it with today’s show title - “iPhone hangover day”. I was so, so thankful for the non-tech podcasts I had lined up today. I did listen to more than my fair share of iPhone news before I switched over to “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell [...]
