Dale, Mark and Lila delve into internet, AI, and all types of technology scams with their special guest, Eric Newton, on this month's podcast. Eric is a US Air Force Academy graduate, who is a tech enthusiast and has spent twenty four years with AT&T. He teaches digital literacy to senior citizens, newbies and The Every Man, and helped the podcast threesome understand more about falling victim to scams and how we can avoid future scam snafus.

Dale, Mark and Lila have a very telling question for their audience this month....what has happened to our empathy for others?

Shared humanity...that empathy for others and the sacrifices we made for the greater good...these things have enabled us to celebrate 250 years of this American ideal....an ideal that isn't perfect and never has been. But we have to do it together if we want to continue this celebration so that our children's children can live the American dream.

Dr. Laura Robinson-Doyle, Associate Professor at SMU, joined us for the discussion,,,her academic journey is marked by a deep-seated commitment to addressing poverty, homelessness and food insecurity.
