DTNS UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2016 (Patreon)

Hello,
We made it! It's the second edition of the DTNS Monthly Update available to all backers at the $1 a month level or more. Each month I briefly update you with what's going on at DTNS and highlight a few awesome patrons in the audience. So here goes

AMAZON ECHO FLASH BRIEFING
You can now add Daily Tech Headlines to your Amazon Echo flash briefing by saying "Alexa, add Daily Tech Headlines to flash briefing." In less than 10 minutes each day you'll get all the essential tech headlines. Huge thanks to tinnvec (aka Alex Hanna) for coding the JSON, SGTMuffin and Biocow for throwing in a few tips and helping hands and Daniel who got me in touch with Amazon in the first place.

UPCOMING GUESTS

HOLIDAY SHOWS!
Yes it's getting close to the end of the year which means it's time to plan the shows we run between Christmas and New Year's Day.

Roger's busy scheduling us for our Predictions show and of course the Prediction's results show where we all look at how bad we are at predicting things and crow about the few things we nailed.

We also need your help on two of the shows

HELP US PICK THE BEST OF DTNS!

To celebrate another great year of DTNS we want to do a “Best Of” show . A show where we put together the top five segments from your favorite DTNS Shows of 2016. Think of the topic discussions you found incredibly enlightening, engaging, or entertaining.

But we can’t do it without your help. So please visit Best of DTNS Submission Form (http://bit.ly/bestofdtns) and fill it out with the picks you think should be in this episode!

UNDERRATED STORIES
We're also going to solicit your ideas for the most underrated stories of 2016. So for instance the Note 7 was not an underrated story. It got PLENTY of coverage. But maybe you didn't think Google making HTML5 default in Chrome instead of Flash got the attention it deserved. Be thinking of ideas for that and look for a post here on Patreon where you can share your ideas

HOLIDAY SPECIAL SCHEDULE
Here's when we'll air the various specials
Monday Dec. 26 - Best of DTNS
Tuesday Dec. 27 - Underrated Stories of 2016
Wednesday Dec. 28 - Listener Co-host show
Thursday Dec. 29 - Predictions Results Show
Friday Dec. 30 - Predictions Show

ROGER'S STILL MOVING!
The move continues, meaning Roger has come to understand new depths of meaning to the word paperwork. Looks like he'll be heading down to his new digs in LA around the end of November. Thanks for keeping the good vibes coming!
