In episode 1816 of Geek News Central, host Todd Cochran discusses alarming concerns NASA and the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel raised regarding the International Space Station (ISS). The episode opens with the lead story about the ISS facing increasing risks due to structural damage, air leaks, and proposed budget cuts. It highlights SpaceX’s development of a deorbit vehicle and emphasizes the risk of an uncontrolled descent of the ISS without immediate funding. 
Cochrane notes that during an Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel meeting, it was stated that the ISS has entered the riskiest period of its existence. He mentions ongoing issues with leaks in the Zarya module, a long-known problem, and expresses skepticism about whether the concerns in the report might be overstated. He stresses the importance of safety for astronauts onboard and cites significant financial investments by NASA for ISS operations and crew transportation. 
After welcoming listeners to the episode, Cochrane promotes the support of GoDaddy, offering exclusive deals for those interested in starting a website or podcast, and encourages listeners to subscribe to the podcast and follow their online content. He invites audience participation through various platforms and provides updates on technical improvements to their streaming capabilities. 
Transitioning into the news stack, Todd discusses various tech topics, including Microsoft’s offer to underperforming employees, the controversial impact of trade wars on tech manufacturers, and the ongoing tussle between the U.S. government and the EU over penalties against big tech companies like Apple and Meta. He expresses frustration at the situation while recognizing the impact of tariffs. 
The podcast continues with discussions on Netflix and Max’s changes to account sharing, ransomware costs, the launch of 8K movies, and the confusion surrounding new streaming stick models. Todd reflects on Google’s mandated office returns and the implications for productivity before spotlighting various tech product news, including Volkswagen’s plans for robo taxis and the introduction of smartphone labels for battery life. 
In closing, Cochran takes questions and encourages listener feedback. He announces that the podcast will return on Monday for the next episode. The show provides a mix of tech news, sponsor promotions, and audience engagement,
