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.

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.
