On the Smorgasbord, FM radio on your phone, Alexa's new smarts, and more

It would be beyond epic if you could join me, Jonathan Mosen, for another edition of the jolly old Smorgasbord. You can hear the show exclusively on Mushroom FM at either 3 AM or Pm Eastern, that’s 8 AM or PM in the UK.

On today’s show, there’s an increasing clamour to ensure that FM radio is available on all smartphones. Isn’t this a bit retro? Well, not really. I explain why FM radio on your phone could save your life.

We learn about the latest smarts gained by Amazon Echo, which make it an even cooler smart speaker than ever.

Having difficulty getting Garage Band working in iOS? Others feel your pain, we give you the scoop.

We’ll talk about the lack of a Government in New Zealand, a crafty way the New Zealand government is subsidising a fancy new tunnel project, and of course I’ve got some absolutely awesome music.

See you for another big helping of music and conversation on the Smorgasbord.
