This episode was recorded live on Friday, July 3, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI. Happy 4th of July weekend! Nathan flies solo this week with a packed show covering tech news, amateur radio, hybrid car history, and a special preview of his work podcast, Unstoppable Futures. Nathan opens with a deep dive into Apple's sweeping price increases across the iPad and Mac lines — driven by AI's insatiable demand for memory — and Microsoft's Xbox price hikes with warnings of more to come by 2027. He shares his thoughts on whether Apple really needs to raise prices given their massive cash reserves, and opens the floor to listeners on what they think Apple will do with iPhone pricing come September. Nathan recaps his Field Day experience at the New England Wireless and Steam Museum in East Greenwich — making contacts on 20 meters HF, watching live Morse code operators, and getting inspired by clever portable antenna setups including one mounted on a trailer hitch. He also highlights two ARRL special events tied to America's 250th birthday: the Worked All States program and a World Cup commemorative station active through July 19th. Two callers join the show — one sparking a conversation about AI, data centers, water usage, and how technology is reshaping society, and another who correctly answers the automotive trivia question about the first mass-produced hybrid in the U.S. market and explains electrolytic capacitors and the GM EV1. Nathan wraps with two podcast teasers: a clip from the Unstoppable Futures Season 1 finale on self-directed support services at RIPIN, and a clip from Episode 1 featuring Advocates in Action, Rhode Island's statewide self-advocacy organization.
