Summary

After just over a year of questionable leadership and on the heels of an unflattering Atlantic profile, Chris Licht is out as the head of CNN. Vox’s Peter Kafka talks to Puck’s Dylan Byers, who not only covered Licht, but became part of the story. Then! Apple revealed its long-rumored mixed-reality headset this week. It’ll cost $3,500 when it goes on sale sometime next year, and will allow people who aren’t you to see your eyes while you use it. Wired’s Lauren Goode went face-on with the new device and shares her impressions.

1:14.9	First, as you know, the Chris Licked era at CNN is over.
1:17.9	It lasted a little more than a year.
1:20.1	Pucks Dylan Byers wrote about Lick showing up at CNN, and Dylan broke the news that Lick was

She also hosts their Have a Nice Future in Gadget Lab podcast. Lauren's gotten her hands on it.
