S3E01 Bonus - One Floor

Have you ever entered a full elevator car just to ride the elevator one single floor? Did you feel the judgement? Did you feel the shame?

This week's song is a begging, pleading, song about that unforgivable sin. The single floor elevator ride. 

Renee and Marc are back this week after some time off with a brand new season that starts tomorrow. Our first tech topic is...wait a minute, this can't be right...elevators? Elevators. Huh. OK. Interesting. 

Tune in tomorrow for the Season 3 opener all about elevators. And since we've got a new Season, we've got a new house band for the season. This time, a soul ensemble. Hope you enjoy it.  

Join Renee and Marc as they discuss the history of technology, and what it teaches us about now.
