Hey everyone. Uh well, big breaking news. We're here with Joanna Stern of The New Things and the author of I Am New I Am Not a Robot, and I'm going to break this news to her right here on camera. Joanna Tim Cook has stepped down as the CEO of Apple and John Turnus is going to replace him as of September 1st. Wow.
So Joanna had no idea this. This happened as we were recording an episode. That episode will come on Big Technology Podcast pretty soon, but we're just going to get this out here now and this will be a bit of an emergency show. So we have 15 minutes. What do you think about the significance of the news?
Wow, wow, wow. I'm like scared to go look at my phone right now. Um Not s I mean, shocking in terms of timing, not shocking in terms of the choice and that it's happening. I think we just kind of thought this was going to be pushed down the road a little bit.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (15 minutes, 3,042 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
