Notes from the Electronic Cottage 1/14/16

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell

There were lots of whizbang electronic do-dads at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, from smart cars to smart burglar alarms. One thing that wasn’t there was assurance that these devices and anything having to do with the Web are really secure. There’s a reason for that. Here’s one way of looking at it.

Maine Currents 1/13/16

Producer/Host: Amy Browne

Tomorrow will be a historic day in Augusta, as orders to impeach Governor LePage will be introduced and debated by the Maine House of Representatives. And whether the impeachment order ultimately succeeds or not, supporters say LePage’s behavior must be addressed.

Today on Maine Currents we’ll be talking with two of the grassroots organizers behind the efforts to impeach LePage, Rebecca Halbrook and Hendrik Gideonse. We’ll hear from Dawn Neptune Adams, the woman who was shouted down by LePage supporters as she tried to speak at a pro-impeachment rally last week. And we’ll talk with the sponsor of the impeachment order, Representative Ben Chipman of Portland.
