| 1:05.6 | Welcome to Recode Media with Peter Kafka. |
| 1:07.9 | That is me, and today I've got two, not one, but two timely discussions for you. I taped them both today. Wednesday. You're listening to it on Thursday. It's that timely. First, as you know, Twitter has a new CEO. So I talked to Bloomberg's Kurt Wagner, but why Jack Dorsey left? Short version, it seems like he got at least some kind of push. And what we ought to know about Parag Agarwal, his successor, and where Twitter is at in general right now. I used to work with Kurt back in the old days, and he's very smart and very informed. That is a useful discussion. And then I wanted to learn more about the Biden administration's approach to big tech and antitrust in general. So I talked to New Yorker Sheila Kolhatkar.

| 2:16.7 | interesting to talk to Cole Hatcar about sort of what that shift has been |
| 2:21.1 | and where it's all going to play out. |
| 2:22.6 | I'm really curious to see where this goes. |
| 2:24.3 | If you work in tech or media, you care about the stuff, you should be paying attention as well. |
| 2:29.7 | Okay. |
| 2:30.3 | So first, here's Bloomberg's Kurt Wagner. |
