This week's big gadget news involved the Amazon Echo Look, a smart speaker that offers fashion advice. For the last time, this product is not a joke!

Some of the responses about the Look, which is an invite-only product for now, involved concerns about privacy issues, with many folks wondering what Amazon would do with the photos and videos taken with the Look's camera.

Here's an audio version of our full, extended YouTube show, where we discuss the new device just after it was unveiled Wednesday and also take questions from our (five ... OK, three) fans. Also, we talk about the secret airship Google co-founder Sergey Brin is reportedly building.

The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the day, brought to you by the CNET News team in New York and producer Bryan VanGelder.
