Customer Reviews
Great fun but is the snark too much?
I loved this segment of the old Re/code podcast and am generally thrilled with this longer split-out version. But Kara, please, let Lauren talk instead of always interrupting with snarky asides. And those fake commercials seem to water down this content from informational to a frat-party. That’s just my 2 cents. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
Great
Excellent discussion with Steven Sinofsky!
Best of the Re/code lineup
I listen to all the Re/Code podcasts. They are all great, but this one stands out as my favorite. Guest and topics are always interesting. Lauren and Kara are great hosts and play well off each other.
