Kara swisher recode
Kara is really angry proponent of fake narrative and fake news! Watch your work on CNBC I biased and deceptive.
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.
Excellent
Kara’s interviewing style threw me at first but I’ve since come around. She’s very much at ease with herself and the intense and vast subject matter. Her guests are mostly fascinating but often
they’re carrying a bit of self-serving hype and revisionist history stuff to the interview. Kara has a cool talent for cutting through the bs and ego and getting to the ideas. She’s also really funny. <3<3<3 Re/code.
