Leo Laporte takes to the expo floor at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco's Moscone Center for a rapid-fire series of conversations with leading security vendors and thinkers. From Thinkst Canary's honeypot deception tactics to Bitwarden's new Agent Access SDK, Tailscale's AI gateway, and Aikido Security's fully autonomous AI pen testers, the dominant theme is clear: the AI agent era has arrived and security hasn't caught up. Plus, a surprise meeting with WannaCry kill-switch hero Marcus Hutchins.

Event 18: CES 2024: Gadgets - Innovations in cables, speakers, and more at CES 2024 with Father Robert Ballecer

Father Robert Ballecer reports live from CES 2024, giving an overview of the major technology trends and themes on display at the massive electronics and technology trade show, including the proliferation of off-grid and portable power solutions, the ubiquity of electric vehicles, the explosion of AI integrations, and the concept of autonomous resource extraction ecosystems. 

 
 • The first big trend is the explosion of off-grid, portable, and hybrid power solutions, from suitcase-sized inverters to whole-home solar+storage systems to portable power banks for appliances and tools. Fr. Robert highlights Runhood's modular battery packs as an affordable and flexible home energy storage solution. 
 
 • Electrified vehicles of all kinds—cars, trucks, boats, bikes, scooters, etc.—are becoming ubiquitous across the entire CES show floor. Fr. Robert calls out Kia's modular, customizable PBV electric van concept with interlinking capabilities between vehicles. 
 
 • AI integrations are everywhere at CES 2024, from questionable examples like smart trash cans to truly useful ones like shoes that analyze gait with insole sensors and give personalized feedback through AI. 
 
 • Autonomous resource extraction combines remote operation, AI, electrification, and self-sufficiency. Hyundai's vision shows AI robots generating power, mining hydrogen, and transporting materials autonomously. 
 
 • While many tech trends fade away, the trajectories of electrification and AI look strong. The future promises continued innovation in green energy, autonomy, and automation.

At Podcast Movement 2023, Jen Matichuk of Memberful and Lisa Laporte of TWiT.tv give creators an inside look at how the long-running tech podcast network TWiT grew its community and revenue by partnering with Memberful.

 • She shares how their community loves interacting with hosts in Discord, getting ad-free shows, and supporting TWiT's growth
 
 • TWiT also promotes Club TWiT organically in show ads, social posts, newsletters - without overwhelming non-members

Event 16: Podcast Movement 2023: It Pays to Podcast - How TWiT launched Club TWiT with Memberful

In a wide-ranging conversation, Leo Laporte talks with Dr. George Church about the history and future of genome sequencing. Dr. Church explains why he is very excited about how they made an organism resistant to all viruses- both known and unknown. 
 

They also talk about: 

 
 • How Dr. Church made sequencing affordable (from $3BN to $600)
 
 • Where are we on sequencing the entire human genome, and why would we even want to?
 
 • How close are we to reversing aging? 
 
 • Should we use gene therapy to double the human lifespan?
 
 • Why genetically engineering cold-resistant elephants could be important for climate change, and what about ultimately bringing back the Mammoth?
 
 • He explains the difference between the hype and reality of CRISPR
 
 • sequencing, synthesis, and delivery
 
 • What are the privacy concerns about companies sharing your genome?
 
 • They discuss the controversy and benefit of reconstructing old viruses like the 1918 flu and even inventing new viruses.
 

Dr. Church is a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and a pioneer in personal genetics. He is credited with developing the first methods for sequencing the first genome and also the CRISPR technology. He created several companies, including Nebula Genomics and Veritas Genetics.
