Audio briefing

Best of: Coping with the pandemic blues

In this episode, Kim sits down with a good friend of The Kim Komando Show, Howard Scott Warshaw. He’s notorious for creating what’s regarded as the worst video game in history. A little hard on the ego, huh? Well, he’s definitely bounced back. Howard and Kim talk about his start at Atari, how he became the therapist for all of Silicon Valley’s movers and shakers, and how to cope with the pandemic blues.

Kim answers your questions

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

Can I just use the free option?

Q: There are lots of free ones out there. How can I tell which ones are safe? I see them pop up on those lists of apps not to trust.

A: When a service is free, you know one thing: You are the product. I get why people would download a free VPN, but it's really not worth saving a few bucks a month. 

I use ExpressVPN. It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes. And it's fast. I love that.

Get the same protection I trust and use. Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim for a 30-day free trial, plus 3 months free with a 12-month subscription.


Printing Christmas photos

Q: My old printer just isn't cutting it. I tried to print out a few photos, and they looked awful. Help me upgrade!

A: Epson EcoTank printers offer the perfect mix of performance and reliability, and you can finally ditch expensive ink cartridges. These printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink — enough to print 6,000 colored pages. Plus, the printing quality is great. You'll be able to print photos nice enough to display in your home.

Add the Epson EcoTank to your online shopping list at Amazon, Dell, MicroCenter or at epsonecotank.com/kim.


Keeping an eye on a new driver

Q: I heard you talking about an app to help you make sure your kids are safe. My teenager is getting his license next year and I'm worried about it already. What was the app?

A: It's called Life360, and it's a total game-changer when it comes to keeping your entire family safe. It lets you know when your kiddo made it from point A to point B safely. You’ll get a complete driver report, and in case of an accident, there’s automatic crash detection with emergency dispatch. With just one login and one monthly charge, you get lots of comprehensive safety and coordination tools. I love how handy it is!

Don't just take my word for it. Over 25 million families worldwide trust Life360.

Try it free for 7 days at Life360.com/Kim.
