From medical miracles to movie musicals, Kris Abel is back with another tech-and-culture roundup. He and Shane dive into a breakthrough in precision medicine where tiny soft robots can navigate directly to kidney stones, a Canadian-made marvel called The Smith Blade—a 21-in-1 titanium multi-tool from Hacksmith Industries—and the unexpected arrival of K-Pop Demon Hunters, a sing-along anime event set to hit theatres.

It’s a fast-moving, curiosity-driven conversation that blends innovation, invention, and a little pop-culture magic.
