So Called Tech News: Apple Podcast Metrics, Uber Scandal, Cute DIY Electronic Kits / ep38

I can't believe this is our last tech news episode of Season 1! I feel that only yesterday I was asking Alvaro to co-host this episode with me and we've come such a long way.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the themes we cover in this episode! Email me at cinthia@digimorphs.com or contact Alvaro via Twitter @shulfie. I'm also on Instagram at @digimorphs.
