Show notes

As you may have heard, The Vergecast is live this week at South by Southwest! We have one episode down and another one to go on Tuesday.

On this special episode, Nilay and Dieter welcome Lauren Goode and Casey Newton on to talk the news outside of SXSW; in the tech world.

And the show wouldn’t be complete without the weekly gadget segment, so Paul — relaxing at home in New York — sent the gang a letter to keep the tradition alive.

You can listen here, or watch the video on The Verge Facebook page.

Tune in Tuesday at 1:30 ET/12:30 CT/10:30 PT for another live episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
