Summary

This week we recorded live, which is always good fun, meaning that we took some questions from the audience. If you want that version of the show, we have a YouTube archive of it here. For those of you more into audio, we have you covered here. Natasha, Alex, and Grace teamed up with Julio and Yashad to host the shindig, allowing us to cover the following: The end of iPod, a time to reflect on technology trends. The exit of a Modern Fertility co-founder, and the MARA round bringing more money to Africa's fintech scene. From there it was onto the Terra crash, Coinbase's earnings, and the general sentiment shift in the crypto scene. Next up was Tiger and the downturn in startup valuations. And we closed on some personal notes. All told we had a blast. Mary Ann is back with us next week! Chat soon! Credits: Equity is produced by Theresa Loconsolo with editing by Kell. Bryce Durbin is our Illustrator. We'd also like to thank the audience development team and Henry Pickavet, who manages TechCrunch audio products. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups where we
0:15.6	unpack the numbers and the nuance behind the headlines. My name is Alex Wilhelm and
0:19.4	I am joined today by Senior TC reporter, Moscarenis.
0:22.9	Natasha, hello, I hear we only have good news today.
0:25.3	We only have good news.
0:26.3	I've been laughing and smiling all week and not at all stressed and about to cry.
0:30.5	Yeah, I just stopped checking my 401k's and I think that's going to be the path forward.
0:35.0	Before we get into a bunch of stuff, some small housekeeping notes.
0:38.0	One is Mary Ann is off today. We miss her, we adore her, she will be back next week.
0:41.0	The other thing is we are recording this live, this is our
0:44.0	Thursday live show that we do every two weeks. So if we reference something that we're seeing
0:48.2	visually that you can't see, that's our mistake. We're going to try to make sure that this
0:51.5	translates as well to the standard
0:53.8	podcast format as it does this live thing.
0:55.7	That said, just to make it not translate, feel free to ask us questions at the end of this episode.
1:00.7	We will try and answer money as we can and that is an exclusive live show
1:04.2	feature so I hope you have FOMO and show up next time if you're not already here and if you
1:08.3	are here thank you. You can also heckle us in the hop in chat if you're there. If you're
1:11.8	on Twitter spaces with us you can't heck chat if you're there. If you're on Twitter spaces with us, you can't
1:13.4	tackle us. Ha ha! Now actually, let's go over the the rundown. We're going to talk
1:17.2	about the end of the iPod, which we have a lot of emotions about, frankly. We have a
