+
+## Session Summary
+
+**Purpose:** Radio show prep for AZ Computer Guru weekly broadcast (Saturday March 28, 2026)
+
+**What was accomplished:**
+- Researched current tech news for show prep via web search
+- Identified common thread across stories: "Big Tech reaching deeper into your wallet AND your personal life"
+- Built complete 4-segment show outline (12-16 min each) with expanded talking points
+- Found local Arizona/Tucson tech stories for local segment
+- Removed Apple/Siri+Google Gemini topic (covered on previous week's show), replaced with OpenAI Sora shutdown
+
+**Key decisions:**
+- Common thread selected: cost increases + privacy intrusion + government pushback
+- Organized segments by theme progression: costs -> privacy -> global picture -> local good news
+- Ended on positive local note (Arizona jobs, Tucson optics, PCC training lab)
+
+## Show Structure
+
+### Segment 1: "The Price of Everything Is Going Up"
+- Netflix price hikes (all tiers increased)
+- RAM shortage driving up device prices (AI memory demands)
+
+### Segment 2: "How Far Into Your Life Should Tech Reach?"
+- Tinder AI scanning camera rolls for dating photos
+- FCC ban on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers (cybersecurity)
+
+### Segment 3: "The Big Picture -- Where Is All This Headed?"
+- EU "digital divorce" from U.S. tech (20B euro investment)
+- OpenAI kills Sora video generator (too expensive to run)
+- Big Tech signs anti-scam/fraud accord (quick hit)
+
+### Segment 4: "Arizona Tech Corner -- Local Good News"
+- Tucson/Southern Taiwan MOU signing (optics + semiconductors)
+- Pima Community College FIT Lab opening (workforce training)
+- Arizona adding 4,000+ tech jobs in 2026 (CompTIA report)
+- Zoox self-driving cars expanding to Phoenix (quick hit)
