Jacob Kastrenakes
is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade.

Earlier this week, we swung by T-Pain’s house outside Atlanta, Georgia to see what he could do with Apple’s new update to GarageBand for the iPad. Turns out, T-Pain can do some pretty cool stuff. He also took some to sit down with us to chat about how technology has changed music and his career. We published a video with highlights from the interview, but if you want to hear T-Pain’s full thoughts on streaming music, how apps are changing the creation process, and the ways technology can help musicians find a new sound, we’ve put an extended cut of the interview up on SoundCloud. You can also subscribe to Verge Extras on iTunes, on Soundcloud, or directly with RSS for more extended interviews.
