The price is a good conversation about globalizing supply chains.

But what's really cool is they have a way to program radios which are sealed inside a cardboard shipping box, without batteries installed.

Yeah, Josh's method of tuning The Public Radio is super cool. We never actually implemented it in production, but our manufacturing line is in some ways even cooler (it's fully just-in-time) and is remarkably advanced for a FM radio in a mason jar :) I wrote it up in a separate blog post here: http://pencerw.com/feed/2018/2/8/the-public-radios-assembly-...
