What this episode covers

In this April Fools' Day episode, hosts Amelia and Christopher White conduct a humorous interview with their cat, Princess Anakin, who is jokingly referred to as the 'Elon Musk of Earth.' The conversation satirically covers the Internet of Things, specifically mocking the idea of connecting a 'scary robot litter box' to the web, and discusses the challenges of static electricity in embedded development. The hosts also touch on engineering careers, the value of personal projects, and the importance of community engagement through their podcast.
