Inside the Downfall of Blackberry

from Post Script

How does a company with 50 percent of the cellular phone market drop down to 1 percent in five years? This week, we'll explore the implosion of Blackberry, the iconic phone maker that has quickly become irrelevant in the consumer smart phone market. We'll talk with Jacquie McNish, the co-author of a new book called, "Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry." We'll discuss how Blackberry executives misread the rise of smart phones, and how a rift between the company's two CEOs paralyzed innovation.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PostScriptPodcast/~4/O0...

Explicit Deep Dives and Deep Cuts: the History of Punk, Post-punk and New Wave (1976-1986) DDDC Join Rob and Joseph as they chronologically discuss all the notable albums of the punk/new wave movement. From the messy, anarchic noise of the early 70’s proto-punk rockers to the tired, polished death-rattles of the mid-80’s corporate synth-poppers, no stone goes unturned in their quest to fully examine the birth, life and death of “the wave” that produced some of the most beloved songs in modern popular music. Explicit Ear Hustle Ear Hustle & Radiotopia Ear Hustle is prison slang for eavesdropping, and that’s what listening to the show feels like: a raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison. Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne’s release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the California Institution for Women, as well as stories about getting out of prison and starting over, post-incarceration.From finding romance, to grappling with a life sentence, to trying to parent via 15-minute phone calls, Ear Hustle stories deliver what This American Life host Ira Glass calls a “"very real” and “untragic” take on prison life. Ear Hustle is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX, a network of independent listener-supported podcasts. Discover audio with vision at radiotopia.fm and lear Explicit
