Why this Amazon adversary is emboldened

from GeekWire · host GeekWire

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we go behind-the-scenes of some of the biggest and most interesting stories we covered this week: Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant, who overcame Amazon's opposition to win another term, tells us what she plans to do now. An innovation in solar energy, backed by Bill Gates, promises to dramatically reduce global carbon emissions. Amazon’s new smart shelf will reorder office supplies automatically when they're running low. We ask, is this a good thing? We check in on some of the newest tech office spaces in the Seattle region, including Zipwhip, Google, Facebook, Expedia, F5 and others, and learn what they say about how we're all working now. And in the final segment, it’s the return of our Name that Tech Tune contest, with your chance to win a GeekWire t-shirt. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
