Customer Reviews
First Episode - Good Guest
The CEO of Slack was a great first guest. However, the audio quality for the interviewee was scratchy and distracting. I hope Re/code will pay more attention to this in the future. The second part of the podcast was Q&A about Apple Music. I wasn’t interested so I stopped listening.
a great in-depth podcast
this exactly what I was looking for as a tech podcast: in-depth discussion and interesting background access to the tech world. this podcast is the perfect companion to the daily-tech-news-show!
Kara makes this must-listen
There are many tech podcasts, and I listen to a lot of them, But this is the only one with Kara Swisher, the best interviewer in tech. This podcast is like a free mini-version of a Recode conference — great guests, tough questions. If you have no time for a new podcast, bump one of your old ones…guessing you’ll be glad you made the trade.
