Episode 1364 Artwork and Podcasting 2.0 Apps
The hosts review the listener-submitted artwork for episode 1364, awarding the win to "Correct a Record." They discuss the show's style guide for artists, emphasizing the need for host names and the avoidance of episode numbers in the art itself. Listeners are encouraged to use Podcasting 2.0 compatible apps to view chapter-specific artwork.
No Agenda Art Contest, Correct the Record Hat Trick
The "Correct the Record" artist achieved a "hat trick" by winning the show's artwork contest for the third consecutive time with an egg-themed graphic. Other submissions featured groundhogs and Brazilian themes, though some were rejected for being potentially offensive. The hosts discuss the value of producer-contributed art in attracting new listeners.
Apple Watch Cloud Recording Claims and Media Narrative
The claim that Khashoggi recorded his own death via an Apple Watch that synced to the cloud is scrutinized for technical feasibility in Turkey. Critics argue that without a cellular or Wi-Fi connection, the data would not have uploaded, and no journalists have actually heard the alleged tape. The story is characterized as a media-driven narrative intended to damage the Trump administration's relationship with Saudi Arabia.
Digital Health Profiles, External Cause Coding Specificity
The ICD-10 system tracks highly specific external causes of injury, such as contact with daggers, sports equipment, or foreign bodies entering natural orifices. Concerns are raised that these detailed digital health profiles will be permanently attached to individuals, creating privacy risks as medical records move from private paper files to hackable electronic databases.
Electrical Network Frequency Analysis in Forensic Recordings
A new forensic technique called Electrical Network Frequency (ENF) analysis is being used in the UK to verify the authenticity of audio and video recordings. By matching the subtle fluctuations in the power grid recorded in the background of a file against a database of grid activity, investigators can determine the exact time and location of a recording. The hosts dismiss the technology as "pseudo-science" likely to be featured in police procedural dramas like CSI.
A mysterious electrical or magnetic event in Gitmo Nation East reportedly caused electronic devices, including Sky TV boxes and printers, to malfunction or reset. One device reportedly reset its date to January 1st, 1907, leading to speculation about power grid stability or solar activity.
