Why Vint Cerf Fears Your Fridge

Radio Motherboard talks about the internet of things, Peeple, and old homework assignments.

On this week's podcast, Motherboard's Canada Editor Matthew Braga talks to Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet and Google's "internet evangelist," about the company's plans to fly internet-providing balloons over the developing world, encryption and security, and a horrifying scenario where our kitchen appliances start trying to hack our financial institutions.

We also discuss Peeple

, the "Yelp for People" app that's getting everyone riled up this week, a brand new scary Android vulnerability, and we end with a dramatic reading of a sci fi story written by one of our staffers when she was seven years old.
