Our guest is David Hickton – Founding Director of Pitt’s Cyber Institute – and departing United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Then, we’ll look at the uncertain future of traditional retail outlets, after very disappointing Christmas sales, for stores like Macy’s and Kmart – and booming sales, for growing internet firms, like Amazon.

We’ll ask him about the direction of this respected community asset.
