This lively SmartTechCheck podcast with tech journalists Stewart Wolpin and John Quain covers the announced delay of the "Matter" smart home initiative, why ISPs need to step up their role in cybersecurity assistance to its subscribers, Tesla and its ongoing autonomous driving challenge, and the 40th anniversary of the original IBM PC.

Another great SmartTechCheck podcast with my Parks Associates colleagues Steve Nason, Paul Erickson and Liam Gaughan where we opine on consumer "stacking" of OTT services, cloud gaming, "niche" video content, and the windowing of online releases of major theatrical releases.
