Summary
700 attendees filled a San Francisco venue for “Hard Fork Live,” where Kevin Roose and Casey Newton interviewed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and other tech leaders.
20 minutes behind schedule, the show nearly lost Nadella because security screening was running slow, but the interview ultimately went ahead as planned.
The live format let the New York Times tech podcast add onstage spectacle and unpredictability, including multiple robots and one minor mishap when a robot named Toby fell.
The event was framed as live journalism at a transformational moment for the tech industry, extending the podcast beyond its usual recorded format.
