January 17, 2009
The January 17 show captures Dr. Dave as a storyteller, consumer advocate and radio enthusiast. His attempt to spend a forgotten Mervyn's gift card during the store's final hours becomes a vivid comedy of locked doors and a threatened security call, while Evil Steve's auction experience reinforces their warning that a dramatic sale does not automatically make a price good. RadioTime founder Bill Moore describes building internet radio before the market was ready and discovering that helping people find live programs could matter more than recording them. Dr. Dave is almost giddy over the Palm Pre, treats the fast-spreading Conficker worm as a major security event and returns to two lasting preservation principles: risk can be reduced but never eliminated, and a cheap drive can contain priceless data.
