In celebration of 4/20 on Sunday, Mat and Mike spend this week's show getting high — on technology! If you haven't yet read Mat's in-depth feature about how tech companies are rushing to innovate within the sorta-legal marijuana industry, do yourself a solid and fire it up. It's a precious, powerful piece of pot-filled prose (and photography). On the podcast, Mat passes along some behind-the-scenes stories about what he saw, smelled, and sampled while reporting this long-read saga. Truly, it's a great article, and Mat has some really interesting details to share on the show this week. At the end of the hour, things take a very sharp left turn as the hosts opine about Google's new smartphone initiative, Project Ara, which aims to bring modular hardware design to the consumer smartphone industry.
