It’s July 4th and it’s time for family, BBq’s, and fireworks.  But what if there were no fireworks?  Would you be interested in a drone show instead?  As Western states and towns are concerned about wildfire conditions, some are turing to elaborate drone shows such as the ones seen at the latest Winter Olympics.  Elizabeth Weise, tech reporter for USA Today joins us to talk about a new trend that may be taking place skipping the booms for drones.

The 4th is also a time for grilling and burgers, but would you eat a burger made by a robot?  Would you be mad if that robot took your job? As more fast food restaurants are finding that they are short of workers, they are turning to technology to help fill the ranks.  Eric Morath, reporter for the WSJ joins us to talk about Flippy the burger cooking robot and more automation coming to your local quick serve restaurants.

Finally, the story that has been gripping the world the past few days.  12 boys and their soccer coach have just been found after spending 10 days lost in a flooded cave in Thailand.  They are safe and in relatively good condition, but the hardest part is yet to come… how do we get them all out safely.  The options aren’t great.  My producer Miranda joins us for all the details.
