Curmudgeon’s Corner: Squeaky Chair

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner Sam and Ivan deviate from politics for a little while to talk some tech! Namely, Juicero, cord cutting, and Apple’s pro strategy. Of course after that they get back to the news and politics of the week… That would be Trump’s 100 day milestone, Trump’s tax plan, the budget deadline and Obama making money on speeches on the domestic side. Internationally they discuss tariffs on Canada, “The Wall”, and NAFTA. Along the way there are also some corrections, a milestone for this podcast, and Trump’s Big Red Button.

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Welcome to Trumpland

Wow. What a week. On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner Sam and Ivan talk about the Inauguration of Donald Trump, the Women’s Marches all over the country, and the first week of the Trump presidency, including both the official actions that the administration has taken, and the chaos and craziness surrounding Trump himself. A lot has happened since the last show, and it has only been a week!
