Taylor Lorenz

The Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz is partnering with Vox Media to launch a new video podcast called “Power User,” reports Sara Fischer of Axios.

Fischer reports, “It’s a huge win for Vox Media, which is trying to become a top destination for premiere talent to partner on distribution, monetization and strategy for their podcasts.

“Earlier this month, Vox Media announced that acclaimed author and podcaster Brené Brown will be bringing her two award-winning shows, ‘Unlocking Us’ and ‘Dare to Lead,’ to its podcast network.

“Details: Power User will be a weekly video show centered around conversation and analysis fueled by Lorenz’ reporting and online obsessions, Lorenz told Axios.

“The show, which will be available on both video and podcast platforms beginning March 21, will feature guests discussing stories, trends and personalities shaping the internet and tech landscape.”
