Eric Johnson Producer of Recode Decode with Kara Swisher Vox Media
FIRESIDE Q&A How podcasting can take social media storytelling ‘to infinity and beyond’ Eric Johnson Producer of Recode Decode with Kara Swisher Vox Media Rebecca Reed Host Off the Assembly Line Podcast 1. Let’s start out by introducing yourself—and telling us about your favorite podcast episode or interview. What made it great? Eric Johnson: My name is Eric Johnson and I'm the producer of Recode Decode with Kara Swisher, which is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network. My favorite episode of the show is the interview Kara conducted with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — an in-depth, probing discussion about how the company was doing after the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the extent of its power. In particular, I really liked the way Kara pressed Zuckerberg to explain how he felt about the possibility that his company's software was enabling genocide in Myanmar; his inability to respond emotionally to the tragedy was revealing, and because this was a podcast and not a TV interview she was able to patiently keep asking the question, rather than moving on to the next topic. Rebecca Reed: My name is Rebecca Reed and I’m an Education Consultant and Host of the Off the Assembly Line podcast. Off the Assembly Line is your weekly dose of possibility-sparking conversation with the educators and entrepreneurs bringing the future to education. My favorite episode was an interview with Julia Freeland Fisher, author of Who You Know. We talked about the power of student social capital, and the little known role it plays in the so-called “achievement gap” (or disparity in test scores from one school/district to the next). -

Why No Wonder Woman?
Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends. -

I'm your host, Farnoosh Torabi. Kara Swisher is on the show today; tech journalist and co-founder of Recode. She is an outspoken straight-shooting reporter who for decades has been working nonstop to keep Silicon Valley and the tech world at large accountable. Kara is host of the popular podcast Recode Decode. She began her career at the Washington Post and later The Wall Street Journal, before launching her own tech media empire. I kick off the interview with Kara's take on Facebook amidst the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal and the social networks tumbling stock price. Then we hear about Kara's childhood, experiencing the loss of her dad at a young age. She also takes us down memory lane to a very specific moment in her early career when she was asking for a raise, how she earned her worth and had to ask her what tech giants will be gone in 10 years’ time? Snapchat, Twitter. You might be surprised to hear Kara's predictions. Here is Kara Swisher. [INTERVIEW] [0:01:47.1] FT: Kara Swisher. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe I just said your name on this show.

2004 February
February 2004 Games and Entertainment Megan Morrone Today you can use the same machine to organize your finances, create a presentation for your boss, and defend the Earth from flesh-eating aliens. But let’s be honest: Even with the crazy advances in software, organizing your finances and creating a presentation for your boss are still not half as much fun as defending the Earth from flesh-eating aliens.That’s why we’ve devoted the entire month of February to the noble pursuit of games and entertainment for PCs, Macs, game consoles, and PDAs. I know what you’re thinking.You’re thinking that you can skip right over this chapter because you’re not a gamer. Gamers are all sweaty, pimpled, 16-year-old boys who lock themselves in their basements sustained only by complex carbohydrates and Mountain Dew for days on end, right? Wrong.Video games aren’t just for young boys anymore. Saying you don’t like video games is like saying you don’t like ice cream or cheese or television or fun.Are you trying to tell me that you don’t like fun? If you watch The Screen Savers,you know that each member of our little TV family has a uniquely different interest in games. Morgan loves a good frag fest, whereas Martin’s tastes tend toward the bizarre (think frogs in blenders or cow tossing.) Kevin knows how to throw a cutting-edge LAN party,while Joshua and Roger like to kick back with old-school retro game emulators. I like to download free and simple low-res games that you can play on even the dinkiest PC, whereas Patrick prefers to build and rebuild the perfect system for the ultimate gaming experience (see February 13).And leave it to Leo to discover the most unique new gaming experience for the consummate early adopter (see February 1). -
