About this episode
This episode discusses a hidden magnifying feature on phones and the phasing out of Microsoft Publisher, featuring a conversation with a long-time user.
Squinting at a restaurant menu under dim lights is an absolute mood killer. Luckily there's a free built-in magnifying glass on your phone that almost nobody knows exists. Plus, Microsoft Publisher is being phased out, and teachers like Mary are freaking out. She's been using it for 33 years. I talk with her about the free replacement. Learn more about your ad choices.
