David Pogue reported for CBS News on record-breaking temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona, where the city experienced a prolonged streak of days over 110 degrees. The report highlighted dangerous surface temperatures on sidewalks and playground equipment, reaching as high as 182 degrees. Skeptics compare current heatwaves to historical summer weather patterns in desert regions.

A CBS report by David Pogue features Gimlet Media, which employs 120 people to produce 24 podcasts in 13 high-end studios. The hosts mock this "old media" approach, noting the extreme overhead of having five to six employees per show. They contrast this with their own "closet" production style, which utilizes modern noise gates and directional microphones to achieve professional quality without corporate bloat.

Marissa Mayer's keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) serves as a focal point for a discussion on Yahoo's new media strategy. The hosts analyze the hiring of Katie Couric and David Pogue, suggesting Yahoo is aiming to become the "USA Today of the web" through lifestyle content and native advertising. Criticism is directed at Mayer's scripted presentation style compared to Couric's professional delivery.

John Stossel is noted for his transition from a consumer advocate on 20/20 to an overt libertarian on Fox News. The hosts compare his earlier style to David Pogue of the New York Times but note his current focus on provocative topics like drug legalization. They critique the production value of his Fox specials, specifically the use of small, seemingly staged studio audiences.
