Weekend listening - Vidcon, iJustine, Shyp
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. - This week we went to the Vidcon convention, and met with YouTube creators, stars and folks who profit from the YouTube economy.
So for our weekend collection of #TalkingTech podcasts from the week, we begin @Vidcon, where we talked to YouTube personalities Toby Turner and Freddie Wong, The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur, CBS Digital CEO Jim Lanzone and PBS Digital's Don Wilcox for the Roundtable podcast.
Speaking of YouTube stars, we sat down with one of our favorites, Justine Ezarik--a.k.a. iJustine, for an extended chat about her book, creatively titled I, Justine, life and how many gadgets she stuffed into her purse.
Away from VidCon, one of our most popular interviews this week was with the co-founder of Shyp, a new start-up that wants to do your boxing for you. For just $5, the company will pick up your items, and get the shipping done. How do they do it? Kevin Gibbon explains.
The potential for having your car hacked was in the news this week. How safe is your car? I discuss in the accompanying audio report.
As you prepare for Monday, catch up on what Spotify is doing for subscribers. Every first day of the week, the music subscription service is creating a personalized, two-hour playlist for you, based on your music listening. I explain.
Finally, let's end back at Vidcon, where we met with prolific YouTuber Michael Markman--a.k.a. Mickeleh, who has one of the loudest, funniest laughs you'll ever hear.
The #TalkingTech Roundtable airs live every Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on TuneIn. This week we'll be exploring the new Windows 10 and talking about the resurgence of classic TV game shows online. And as always, check us out on TuneIn and Stitcher for our daily #TalkingTech audio reports.
