Snapchat’s new mental health support tool might be one of the most meaningful updates in its history—and it’s only in Canada. Kris Abel joins Shane to explore the nuance behind this feature: why it matters, how it works, and what it avoids by not relying on flawed AI.

Then the robots take the stage—literally. One Chinese humanoid was so lifelike it sparked costume rumors. One Russian robot… fell on its face. This episode is a crash course in the highs and lows of emerging tech, all filtered through a Good News Tuesday lens.
