Niall and Dusty unravel SpaceX’s IPO next Friday, why it matters and what might happen to YOU if it doesn’t meet expectations. TL;DR - a lot more people will get stung than you thought.
We find out how Blue Origin’s $1 billion rocket explosion changes the space race and why Irish people are holding onto old smartphones more than most. 
Plus, we sit down with a creative technologist Andrew Melchior, who has worked with Massive Attack and Bjork, to look at the massive headache generative AI is causing for the music industry and what new tools are being built to stop artists' work from being scraped as training data.

This week a surprise shift in the multi-billion-pound space race as Jeff Bezos beats Elon Musk to the launchpad for the moon. Plus, we break down that incredibly awkward car-crash interview where Bezos tried to defend his stance on taxation.
Also, we look at how AI is changing the game for ethical hackers. We hear about Valentina Palmiotti (aka "Chompie"), the top-performing ethical hacker at Berlin’s Pwn2Own competition, about how AI tools are helping her score massive bug bounties and why she fears her hacking days might actually be numbered.
Finally, with our guest Cormac Lynch, founder of Camara, we discuss how AI is completely reinventing how they teach digital skills in Africa.
