In this episode, I discuss when I think Amazon will announce new Fire TV hardware like a 3rd-gen device. I talk about Kodi 17, which just got released, and the new Plex Alexa Skill that lets you control Plex with your voice. The episode concludes with a Q&A session where I answer questions from the audience.
