Since we last chatted about supersonic travel in our first season there has been substantial progress made towards accessible, supersonic commercial travel becoming a reality for us all.  In this episode, the guys discuss the recent accomplishments of NASA’s X-59 QueSST and Boom Supersonic’s “Baby Boom” - namely how they are making supersonic travel a quieter proposition.

But before we dive into supersonic booms, it turns out the UK really wants access to everyone’s digital everything - not just the Brits data.  Fortunately, Apple is (trying to) do something about it.
