    Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg are back for another packed episode of technology news.

    In the show this week, Elon Musk puts a Tesla in space — and why it was such a monumental achievement. Duncan and Regardt discuss the event in detail — including why there was a towel in the car’s glove compartment.

    Also this week, a discussion on the Electronic Communications Amendment Bill, MultiChoice’s divorce from ANN7 and Nvidia’s soaring stock price.

    Duncan doesn’t have a pick this week, but Regardt has chosen Nedbank’s new banking app.

    Download or stream the show to find out who’s been picked as the winner and loser of the week — it’s the same person! And don’t miss our weekly tech quiz!
