An Information Security Visionary, with a medical degree and a commercial pilot's license, Tippett joins Kojo to talk about how he created the first-ever commercial anti-virus software (the precursor of what's now known as Symantec Norton Anti-Virus), and share his views on security and risk in the 21st Century.

13:06Safety in the Workplace

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created more than thirty years ago to make the American workplace more safe.

But critics say OSHA has dropped the ball when it comes to safety regulations for everything from oil refineries to popcorn plants. Join Kojo for a look at OSHA and workplace safety.
