Tomorrow Daily 135: Biodegradable robots working in your body, the Godzilla Hotel and more
On today's show, Khail and Ashley marvel at tiny robots made to collect samples inside your body and dissolve after they're done, start saving up to stay at the Godzilla Hotel in Tokyo, and show you a retired engineer's violin-playing robot.
We're halfway through the week, but that doesn't mean we're slowing down; on the contrary, we're bringing you a handful of glorious science, tech and Godzilla goodness. Our first story could be a window into the future of your visits to the doctor, with micrograbbing objects swimming through your body to collect samples; the second story is about a killer Godzilla movie theater and hotel opening this April in Tokyo, Japan; and our last story is all about what you can accomplish with free time and knowledge.
There are two sweet modifications that made the show today, too: A retro toaster converted into a fully functional NES and a working PlayStation with Midgar (the main city from Final Fantasy VII) built on top. You probably won't find Aerith inside that miniature Midgar, though. Sorry.
