Season 3, Episode 4: Recode (with Kara Swisher)

In this special episode Ben & David head to Recode’s SF
office and sit down in the red chair with the one & only Kara
Swisher! Kara tells the story of Recode, from the beginnings of
her partnership with Walt Mossberg in the late 90’s at WSJ to the
launch of the D Conference and the All Things D blog, to starting
Recode and ultimately being acquired by Vox Media in 2015. Kara
is someone we’ve long looked up to at Acquired, and it was really
special to have her join us on the show. We hope you enjoy the
conversation as much as we did!
