Summary: Long time listeners may notice something is different in this episode. First of all, Ben is running the show. Secondly, there is a new regular panelist. Paul Curran, the Skeptical Statistitian himself (who also appears on the 44th episode of this august podcast) is going to join us on a more regular basis going forward. Paul can also be followed on twitter @SkepticalStats. Our main topic has to do with a bit of technology speculation. There is a lot of buzz surrounding a new device from Amazon. It is widely assumed that the device will be a phone. We talk about what Amazon could do to innovate a mobile device and also what concerns we have for how we consume content.
