Casey Newton

Well, Casey, we've got a special treat on the show this week.

We are going to be playing some excerpt and snippets and featured conversations from Hard Fork Live.

Yes, exactly.

It was so great to hang out with listeners and also welcome some very special guests.

We'll be bringing those conversations to our listeners and viewers in this feed over the next two weeks.

Today, we're going to share three conversations with you.

The first is with Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella.

The second is with Phil Mohan, who is the wrangler of these sort of robot dogs that you may have heard about.

These are a project conceived of by the artist Beeple.

They have these robot dogs with Elon Musk's face and Mark Zuckerberg's face on them.

They're very funny and entertaining.

We brought them out on the stage during Hard Fork Live for the Open, and we'll talk with him about that project and what he's trying to accomplish there.

And then we're going to talk with Cindy Cohn, the outgoing executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a longtime activist on internet and privacy-related issues.

I'm Kevin Russo, tech columnist from the New York Times.

I'm Casey Newton from Platformer.

Truly, we are so happy to be here.

This is one of the highlights of our year.

We love meeting our friends and our family and our listeners and viewers all here.

It is so much fun.

Now, if you are used to listening to us or watching us on YouTube, you'll notice there are a few differences that you're going to experience tonight.
