Monopoly Go - Launch to $1b run rate in a few months
Bunch of interesting things to cover on the Monopoly Go release: Does everyone have the same first 30 minutes experience? Dice rolls and all? How have they gotten so big so fast? In which markets?

What3Words - Company and product tear down
Seb Johnson joins Tom and me this episode. We talk through his critique of What3Words and take a closer look at the product. We agree on a few things. W3W would be an amazing comic book villain origin story. The tech doesn't solve any real problems. We don't remember our three words. And this would be better as an open source hobby project. Let us know what you think. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rolling-product-review/message

Waze vs Facebook, and the rest of the social giants.
Waze was almost bought by Facebook. Fascinating story by one of the founders here. Sometimes the price is right but the match isn't. Then we tracked the growth of Waze and compared it to the social apps. Interesting walk through who is winning the battle for people's time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rolling-product-review/message
