Mossberg’s new podcast: Ctrl-Walt-Delete

Nilay Patel of The Verge writes about the new podcast from well-known tech journalist Walt Mossberg.

Patel writes, “As you may or may not know, The Verge was lucky to have Walt Mossberg join our team as part of Vox Media’s acquisition of Recode earlier this year. Walt and I had known each other for a while before the deal, but we’ve spent a lot of time hanging out and talking tech lately — and we’ve had so much fun along the way that we’re starting a new podcast to do it every week.

“Ctrl-Walt-Delete is a new kind of platform for Walt — one where he can bring his incredible depth and range of experiences to the conversation around tech, and tell stories very few people have ever heard before. We’ll be taking his weekly column here at The Verge and drawing out the themes and patterns he’s seen across his incredible two-decade run as the most important reviewer in tech, and trying to draw those themes into the future.

“He will probably also make fun of me, so that’ll be good.”
