Recode Radio presents Recode Decode, hosted by Cara Swisher.

Hi, I'm Cara Swisher, Executive Editor of Recode, and you're listening to Recode Decode,

a podcast about Silicon Valley's key players, big ideas, and how they are changing the world

we live in.

You may know me best as the person leading the search for the new Twitter CEO, which means

I have a lot of free time, which I use to report on technology.

Today's show in the red chair is a little bit different.

In an extended interview, I'll be talking to Mark Andreessen, one of Silicon Valley's

most influential and well-known investors and entrepreneurs.

Andreessen is the founder of Netscape, which is considered one of the most important early

internet companies with the invention of the browser.

He was also among the early investors in Facebook, and he co-founded the High Flying

and recent Horowitz Venture Capital Farm, which many consider to have changed venture

capital in the recent decade.

When Andreessen tweets, which he does often and at great length, the tech industry listens.

I have known Mark Andreessen for almost 20 years or more, and we have a lot to talk about,

so let's hear what he has to say today.

Welcome, Mark.

Thank you.
