Introduction

Alex Kranz: This is the first episode of the Wednesday show that I'm taking over while David is out caring for that absolutely adorable baby he and his wife just had. We're going to have a really fun time over the next few weeks, and we'll have a bunch of Verge staff on the show to talk about all kinds of stuff. Support for this episode comes from Airbnb. NetApp wants our listeners to know that they are in love with the cloud. So in love, they'd climb a mountain or cross an ocean just to prove it. But that's not actually necessary; instead, they just made this podcast ad.
