This week, we look at an article from Susan Hall at The New Stack. Susan is a solid reporter, so looking at her piece allows us to discuss the world and machination of the tech press, what it’s like to brief them, and our imagination of what it’s like to be a tech reporter.

See the much more detailed notes on this piece.

This week, the episode is free since we’ve been neglecting mainline Software Defined Talk. We hope you enjoy this sample.
