Here's the first bonus episode filled with some of the latest tech[...]
- It's the last episode of our first season! We're taking a break for a few weeks to prepare a bigger, better, shinier second season of In Tech Today. In the meantime, we discuss the Petya cyberattack this week, which brough Ukraine and much of Europe to its knees. What was it, how did it spread,[...]
- This is the episode where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. For starters, it's being released six days late because the audio file was incomplete. Then, there was no live stream of this episode because no matter where we positioned the router, it did not play ball. And there isn't even a pre-recorded[...]
- This week, In Tech Today started a new Instagram account. Two minutes later, it was banned from the platform. As it turns out, it's a problem affecting thousands of Instagram users, and it could affect YOU! How is it happening, what did we have to do to solve the issue, and do the powers that[...]
- Britons - including honorary locals Josh and Ed - headed to the polls today after an election campaign that involved both some seriously positive and negative attention on some of the world's largest tech companies.

Recorded[...]
- This week, one of the biggest cyberattacks in years hit more than 70 countries. WannaCry about it? We did. Also we dive into the hot-button US issue that is net neutrality, and our techno dinosaur just can't stop the spammers from calling. Recorded on 18 May 2017. Music: "Nano Hoedown", "Wagon Wheel", "Wagon Wheel -[...]

Also, Ed goes on a rant about people deleting Facebook, and the techno dinosaur has a question about slow laptops. Plus, Amazon[...]
- Amazon wants you to pay $200 for a smart camera that watches you get dressed. Why on earth would you want it? Also, the advertising regulator in the UK wants to put a stop to internet providers advertising broadband speeds that most customers will never get close to. And our techno dinosaur wants Microsoft Office,[...]
- We take a look at the new Google WiFi home network product and ask if it's worth spending hundreds on a couple of routers when they look like moisturiser jars? Also, is AT&T's new "5G" product in the US really 5G? And our dinosaur wants to know more about torrents.

Also this week, we look at more ways the internet can help you save[...]
- The latest British broadband technology has landed - G.fast - but will it be worth it in the long run? And if you haven't thought about anti-virus in a while, perhaps it's time you did. The techno-dinosaur also returns with a question about streaming on your TV ...
- UK Chancellor Philip Hammond promised more cash for fibre broadband this week, but it isn't enough. Fresh fodder from Wikileaks shows we're all being spied on through every digital orifice possible. And the Nintendo Switch was released this week, but so far it looks like a disastrous product.
- In this episode, we talk about the minefield that is broadband, and how each type differs; and we explain how a bad broadband connection meant there was no episode last week.
- Trump is the first outspoken US president to have immediate, unfettered and unfiltered access to the masses via Twitter.
