Now Mark Zuckerberg is taking on a new challenge: podcasting (basically). The Facebook chief executive announced Tuesday that his “personal challenge” for 2019 will be to “host a series of public discussions about the future of technology in society – the opportunities, the challenges, the hopes, and the anxieties”. “Every few weeks I’ll talk with leaders, experts, and people in our community from different fields and I’ll try different formats to keep it interesting,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. The VC firm Andreessen Horowitz and angel investor Jason Calacanis also host podcasts about startups and the tech industry. Whether the CEO’s decision to “debate” these questions in public portends him changing his mind in any way remains to be seen.
