Episode 340: Caitlin Clark, Spotify features, and Dumb comparisons
It is a big week for women's basketball as college star Caitlin Clark went No. 1 in the WNBA draft. As incredible as her college career was, some fans are outraged at her salary. Dave and I dig into how much she's getting paid and why. My iPhone doesn't connect to my new truck using CarPlay, so I can't use Maps or Apple Music. This forced me into getting a subscription to Spotify and it has some really cool features. We are all looking (cautiously) forward to AI, but some of the new products are really bad. We take a look at one of them. Show Notes: Shows and movies we’re watching Masters of the Air, Apple TV+ Garry Shandling’s show & The Larry Sanders Show
