Full Summary: 
In this episode of the Geek News Central podcast, titled “Impact of Tariffs on Tech Companies’ Stock Performance,” host Todd Cochrane opens by discussing the significant fluctuations in tech stocks triggered by the Trump administration’s reaffirmation of global tariff plans. He highlights a severe market sell-off of 1.8 trillion dollars. He notes that while major players like Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Nvidia managed to close higher, Apple’s and Tesla’s stocks ended negatively—though Tesla regained some momentum during after-hours trading. 
Cochrane emphasizes the pervasive impact of the tariff discussions on the tech sector, mentioning the dramatic drop of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) shares and Bitcoin’s decline as market volatility indicators.

After introducing the episode, he promotes his show’s sponsor, GoDaddy, mentioning exclusive deals on his website. He invites listeners to support the podcast, highlighting various ways to engage, including following on social media and signing up for the newsletter.
