Today is August 4th and it's our 200th episode at "It's 5:05". So we have something special planned. This is Executive Producer, Mark Miller. In addition to our regular format, we are extending the show today to include "The Story of the Week", where four of our journalists examine the same topic from different viewpoints.
With Apple's announcement of a critical exploit in it's kernel prior to 15.7.1, Tracy Bannon, Katy Craig, Olimpiu Pop, and Marcel Brown will give you their individual takes on this known vulnerability and what you can do about it.
It's a new format for us, so let us know what you think.
