Hosted by Kevin Roose and Casey Newton
Produced by Whitney Jones and Rachel Cohn
Edited by Jen Poyant
Engineered by Chris Wood
Original music by Dan Powell and Marion Lozano
We're back with part two of Hard Fork Live (see last week's episode for part one). This week, Patrick Collison, Stripe's chief executive, joins us onstage for a wide-ranging conversation about how Silicon Valley could unleash greater progress, from building new housing to curing diseases, and why he believes prestige television is a waste of time. Then, after a quick costume change, Kathryn Zealand, the chief executive of Skip, joins us to talk about her company's robot pants. We test them out live on a StairMaster. Finally, we end the show by taking questions from audience members.
Guests:
Patrick Collison, Co-founder and C.E.O. of Stripe
Kathryn Zealand, Founder and C.E.O. of Skip
