What’s a Payphone?

from Gary and Shannon Hosted by iHeartRadio and KFI AM 640

Gary and Shannon take on Washington headlines during #SwampWatch before shifting to feel-good Olympic funding, tech habits we probably need to break, and a surprising comeback for payphones. The hour blends politics, perspective, and a reminder that not everything needs an app.• #SwampWatch: Cabinet tensions, immigration softening, and second-term pressure on Trump. • Olympic Boost: A private donor steps in to fund U.S. athletes when the government won’t. • #TechTalk: Marc Saltzman on wired earbuds and why tech should stay out of the bedroom. • Payphones Return: A Rochester company revives payphones—and Gary explains them like a museum exhibit.
