S6 Ep464: The Best Smart Kitchen Applian...

Audioboom Studios
About this episode
Kathleen is thrilled about all of the new smart kitchen gadgets unveiled at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, despite Bethany’s concern that they’ll conspire to trap you in your house. How much would you pay for a compost bin that works in 4 hours? What about a stove without a handle? Or a machine that makes your cocktails for you? Plus, the show debuts its new segment: Pop Culture Coffee Break!
