Summary

We’ve had questions about Apple’s new VR headset — supposedly set to debut in June — for some time. Starting with: Who’s going to pay $3,000 for these things, and what will they do with them? Turns out some Apple employees have the same questions — which is very unusual for a Big Deal Apple Debut, to say the very least. The NYT’s Tripp Mickle joins Vox’s Peter Kafka to explain. Then Peter checks in with Men In Blazers co-founder Roger Bennett, who is finally ready to talk about the business of running a soccer-mad digital media company, why niches are good, and his plans to scale up before the 2026 World Cup. Featuring: Tripp Mickle (@trippmickle), Tech Reporter for the New York Times Roger Bennett (@rogbennett), Co-Founder of Men In Blazers Host: Peter Kafka (@pkafka), Senior Editor at Recode More to explore: Subscribe for free to Recode Media, Peter Kafka, one of the media industry's most acclaimed reporters, talks to business titans, journalists, comedians, and more to get their take on today's media landscape.

1:12.3	if I do say so myself. First, we're checking in on Apple's upcoming headset, which is supposed to
1:17.4	debut in June, for real this time. We've been hearing about this headset for a long time. We've
1:22.4	talked about it on this very podcast for quite some time. I have remained confused about this headset. It sounds like
1:29.3	it's very expensive, $3,000.000. Pretty unwieldy. Not useful to most people, which is why I've
