About this Episode
This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, and Sidekick Media Services.
Chatting the tech news of the week including streaming video, offensive Animal Crossing, new video game news, and more! with Dave Podnar and Mike Sorg!
- Dave loves what P3R (the company behind the Pittsburgh Marathon) is doing for social media outreach during the Coronavirus era
- Sorg is marveling at the biggest takeaway from Ubisoft making a deal with Parsec, using streaming services for preview play for journalists. Ubisoft used this and Cyberpunk used GeForce Now.
- And in the spirit of Dudders, we look at Animal Crossing's new fireworks, which immediately get the dick firework treatment and characters falling on their face.

- Finally Apple updates one of its webcams and some new internals on the 27" iMac
- Disney to release Mulan online via Disney Plus on Sept. 4, for $30 in US
