Silicon Valley Bank and Plenty Moreβ¦ On Big Technology Podcastπ§ Tune in for news, analysis, and newsmaker interviews on techβs most pressing stories.
Itβs a typical nutty Thursday here at Big Technology headquarters. As usual, we have a major, breaking news story developing as we barrel toward the weekend. This time, itβs the βrunβ β or something like that β on Silicon Valley Bank, techβs financial institution of choice. The companyβs stock dropped 60% today and another 22% in after-hours trading. Its struggles could harm the broader economy. News operations like Big Technology have two options at this juncture. We can tell you what we know. Or share what weβre learning. A newsletter is a terrific tool to say what we know. Itβs concise, filled with facts, and should leave you with a concrete understanding of whatβs going on. (As you know, I love sending these emails.) But for sharing what weβre learning? Podcasts are the perfect venue. Big Technology Podcast is the companion show to this newsletter, and I use it to ask newsmakers, journalists, and analysts to bring us into breaking news stories as they happen β our guests also share insights that donβt neatly fit into story format. The podcast starts by asking what we donβt know. And it tries to get us closer to the truth by the end of each episode. It also tries to have some fun. So, as this Silicon Valley Bank story rumbled on this evening, I brainstormed with Marginsβ Ranjan Roy β who joins us every Friday to discuss the weekβs news β about how weβd tackle it. And as we traded notes, I watched Axios business editor Dan Primack share insights on Twitter about what he was learning and asked him to join. So tomorrow morning, Ranjan, Dan, and I will dive into the story and weβll have a new episode available in listenersβ feeds by noon eastern tomorrow. You can subscribe to Big Technology Podcast (and find that episode tomorrow) at the following links. Why not try it out? Spotify:spoti.fi/32aZGZx Apple:apple.co/3AebxCK All others:pod.link/1522960417 Along with Big Technology Podcastβs Friday shows β which typically cover a number of topics β I host a weekly flagship interview on Wednesdays that gets deep into a single topic. Recently, for instance, I hosted Ben Smith of Semafor to discuss how social media platforms have abandoned news, and how news operations like his are responding (Apple, Spotify). Meta chief AI scientist Yann Lecun also stopped by a few weeks ago for our most downloaded show to date, a discussion of whether bots like ChatGPT bring us closer to human-level intelligence (Apple, Spotify). Weβve also hosted great conversations with plenty of others, including Box CEO Aaron Levie, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and CNBCβs Andrew Ross Sorkin. More great guests are on the way. To those already listening, thank you. Big Technology Podcast is now in the top 1% of shows, per Listen Notes. And this month, itβs on track for its most monthly downloads ever. Itβs been awesome watching it grow. And if you prefer to stick with just the newsletter, I appreciate that too. Thank you so much for being here. So again, here are those links :) Apple:apple.co/3AebxCK Spotify:spoti.fi/32aZGZx All others:pod.link/1522960417 Weβll be back next week, after SXSW, with our typical-length newsletter. In the meantime, please send me some scoops ;) This Tech Can Solve A Problem For 92% Of Knee Surgeries (sponsored)As many as 92% of knee implants use cement, which can break down over time and lead to even more surgery. Monogramβs patented, 3D-printed replacement joints donβt use cement. Even better, Monogramβs robotic surgical assistants will install them for an even more precise fit.
