Tech Talk for Families (Enhanced): Technology, toy, and video game news for YOUR family
Summary: Tech Talk for Families provides a weekly podcast featuring Dale and Teresa, a dad and mom of three children who also served as licensed foster parents. Dale uses his training in teaching, speaking, and writing to bring you the information you need, and Teresa holds a degree in elementary education and over a decade as a full-time mom. They combine their training, experience, and lifelong interest in technology (and a houseful of electronics, computers, and video game consoles!) to bring you weekly technology news that actually matters to your family. While news and reviews from the the major tech media are useful, who knows more about what your child will like to play or how to deck out your minivan, a childless pundit or a full-time mom? Each podcast includes news about recalls, upcoming products, reviews of the latest gadgets and video games, and interviews with those in the tech industry. Subscribe to either the iTunes enhanced feed or the standard mp3 feed.
