MOD
The Pocketnow Weekly podcast is brought to you by MOD in a Box! The brainchild of former Pocketnow editor Taylor Martin, MOD in a Box is a monthly subscription service that sends you materials to make three useful, awesome DIY projects that can be made with tools you probably already own. MOD in a Box is part of a movement to get you away from your texts, sexts, and Xbox, and get you back to using your hands and making stuff. You know, like our ancestors did. To get started, pay them a visit at to see what they can help you make this month – and tell 'em Pocketnow sent you!
