This episode, we’re tackling three big themes—tech, gifts, and the state of our brains in 2024. Buckle up (or turn on adaptive cruise control)!.

Our dumb homes can be smart homes with a few tech purchases, but which are the right ones? Join Jenny and Greg Swan for a conversation about the technology that fuels their home, how Greg “bricked” their smart fridge, how Jenny’s robot vacuum army led to a dog poop fiasco, and how to reconcile surveillance culture with safety when it comes to cameras and microphones in your home.

The holidays are a catalyst for increased screen time. And like It or not, the competition for your family's attention are those screens. But what if you flip the script and look for ways to incorporate screens into your together time instead of vilifying them? Join Jenny and Greg Swan for a discussion about the tensions around screens and holidays, ideas for digital connectedness, and why Greg calls the TV a "screamy box."
