3 Techies Banter #3TB

Trade, Drone & Follower Wars: Battles Tech Is Quietly Running | #3TBPodcast

Welcome to the grand finale of 3 Techies Banter! 2025 was the year technology stopped being just a tool and became the battlefield, the arbitrator, and the disruptor of everything. In this explosive year-end wrap-up, we decode the three tectonic shifts that redefined our world: 1. THE WARS: From AI-driven battlefields and tactical drones to "tethered" UAVs and military internets—how tech is rewriting the rules of conflict. We discuss innovations from the Ukraine-Russia war, India-Pakistan tensions, and how chaos fuels invention. 2. THE TRADE WARS: Trump’s tariffs, fractured global supply chains, and the rise of "Tariff GPT." We explore how geopolitics is splintering the internet into specialized nets—military, trade, logistics—and reshaping global power into a multipolar world. 3. THE CREATOR ECONOMY EXPLOSION: AI is turning creators into micro-multinationals. Meet Tilly Norwood, the AI-generated actress sparking Hollywood panic. We dive into voice cloning, 24/7 AI replicas, and how the top 50 creators earned $853 MILLION. Is this the future—or a flood of content? From swarming drones to AI diplomats, quantum trade corridors to virtual influencers—this isn’t your typical year-end tech wrap. It’s a deep dive into the madness, magic, and math of a world where technology is now everything. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Apollo-gies for the Space Puns | #3TBPodcast

From the GPS in your delivery app to the weather forecast that saves your picnic, space tech is the invisible force that already runs our world. We journey from the Cold War's flag-planting race to today's $600 billion gold rush, where private companies and nations like India are turning the cosmos into a construction zone. We'll explore how space evolved from a superpower's trophy case to a startup's playground, with rocket launches getting 97% cheaper and a 90-year-old Captain Kirk finally getting his seat. Meet the pioneers who built satellites for social good, not just showmanship, and peek into a future of microgravity manufacturing and cosmic debris cleanup. Plus: why your phone needs GPS but your remote doesn't, what the "Great Filter" says about our cosmic loneliness, and what happens when we litter in orbit (spoiler: a minefield for satellites). One planet to rule them all – if we can stop cluttering the sky and start looking beyond it. 00:00 Highlights of the Episode 01:24 Today's Topic: Space - The Final Frontier 06:46 India's Space Journey 09:57 Global Space Race and Economics 23:38 Space Technology Trends 33:06 Fun Space Trivia and Conclusion Learn more about your ad choices.

F⁠urtados & Furious: How to Scale Music Ed While Everyone Else Plays It Safe

What would you say if we told you that tuning yourself to a metronome is better for your health than that gym membership? We sit down with Tanuja Gomes, the founder of Furtados School of Music, who convinces us that formal music education isn’t scary or snobby—it’s a friendly on‑ramp for toddlers, teens, busy parents, and “I‑wish‑I‑started‑earlier” adults. If you can boil water, you can keep a beat. Tanuja tells us how the simple act of signing up for music teaches consistency, discipline, and the underrated art of showing up. Our conversation has the usual light-heartedness of three friends chatting. Tune in. This episode might be the calling you were waiting for to start your musical journey from today.
