#269 - Interview with podcaster Dave Keeshan

I sat down with Dave Keeshan. An engineer, science comedian, and sharp cultural observer. Who’s lived and worked across Ireland, Australia, the U.S., and beyond. What starts as a conversation about microchips and engineering turns into something bigger. How fragile modern systems really are. Why supply chains are a house of cards, and how much they effect us. Even in our daily life technology runs most people's lives. You never stop, and think about it until you set aside the distractions.We dig into semiconductor shortages, subscription culture, planned obsolescence. Why “smart” tech often makes things dumber. Breaking down everything from aviation systems, and GPS reliance. To why legacy tech sometimes survives because it’s harder to hack. There’s humor throughout, but it’s grounded in lived experience. From working at Bell Labs, and Intel. Watching innovation get strangled by profit models and walled gardens.This episode is about seeing the world clearly not hype, not fear. Just an honest look at engineering, comedy, and culture colliding. Seeing what happens when systems designed to be invisible suddenly matter.Where to Find Dave Keeshan?🌐 Website: Check out Dave's podcast Gurus of Comedyhttps://gurucomedy.podonaut.com/🎤 Work: Comedy, Engineering, Podcasting📲 Social: @gurusofcomedy
