For Whaddya Wanna Know Wednesday, we dipped into the mailbag and pulled out a mix of your questions from the past week, including: What’s happening with Quibi, the very-well-funded mobile-only streaming service that landed with a thud in the middle of a pandemic? Plus, we look at consumerism post-COVID-19 and the ripple effects of Silicon Valley workers permanently working from home anywhere in the world.
Here are links to some of the stories we talked about today:
- “Three reasons consumers can’t bring the economy back from covid-19” in the Washington Post
- “Investment manager TIAA is offering 75% of its US employees buyouts and some could get their full salaries for nearly 2 years” in Business Insider
- “Jeffrey Katzenberg Blames Pandemic for Quibi’s Rough Start” in the New York Times
None of us is as smart as all of us.
No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.
It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.
