👋 Start Here: Tech Made Simple for Normal People
April 20, 2020
Welcome to Your Tech Makeover, the podcast that gives you tips and tricks to help you simplify and get more out of the technology in your life. This short trailer is the best place to start if you are new to the show. Host Frank Bravo introduces who the podcast is for, what it covers, and how he approaches technology: in plain, everyday language, with practical steps you can actually use.
Frank has spent decades helping everyday people make sense of their devices, going back to teaching his first tech class to a room of seniors in the 1990s. That turned into a passion for making technology simple and practical for everyone. If you are smart but you do not consider yourself a "tech person," this show is made for you.
Episodes are short and focused, and they cover the everyday things that should be simple but rarely are: backing up your phone, canceling subscriptions you forgot about, staying safe on public Wi-Fi, passwords and passkeys, what to do if your phone is lost or stolen, plus travel tech, smart home gadgets, and the scams worth watching for. Give the trailer a listen, then try an episode or two. If it clicks, subscribe so you never miss one.
