Land of the Giants

Big Tech is transforming every aspect of our world. But how? And at what cost? In the latest season of Land of the Giants: The Tesla Shock Wave, veteran reporters Tamara Warren and Patrick George bring us inside the company that disrupted the auto industry and sparked the EV revolution. They explore Tesla’s role in the troubled race toward self-driving cars, how Elon Musk’s rise and pratfalls have had ripple effects across the whole world, and whether Tesla’s competition can catch up. New episodes are every Wednesday starting July 26th. From The Verge and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

The Twitter Fantasy.

It’s been almost a year since Elon Musk took over Twitter and, well, a lot of things have happened since then. Now, after previously diving into the backstories of dating apps, Meta, and Tesla, the Vox Media podcast Land of the Giants launches a new season about Twitter, its richest user, and “why Twitter’s cultural and political influence far exceeds its size,” hosted by Peter Kafka.

New episodes will arrive weekly starting on October 25th, and you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or other podcast apps.
