Hey, Acquired listeners, We are here with you today for two reasons.
First, to remind everyone about our worldwide virtual meetup.
So this Thursday, February 21st, we will all be getting together on the Internet to celebrate Acquired passing the million download milestone, which at this point was like a couple months ago.
But you know, it takes us a while to plan things.
It'll be at 5:30pm Pacific Time, which is 8:30pm Eastern Time in the United States.
We will be doing it on Zoom.
So we're pushing the boundaries of the medium here and figuring out what it looks like when we all pile into Zoom.
And we are structuring it as a Q and A with folks.
So the Zoom link is available in the show notes and if you want to send us a question or upvote somebody else's question, which is very fancy, you can ask it in the Slack thanks to a very cool Slack bot that David has set up.
Yeah.
Called Slido.
And we're going to have a.
There's a channel live in the Slack right now called Meetups, so head over there to ask questions.
Indeed.
All right, David, so the second reason for this episode, over to you.
Yes, the second reason is in true acquired experimental fashion here.
We keep getting a whole bunch of requests in Slack and elsewhere for our take on things like the equaltrix acquisition last year for the topic of today, Spotify's acquisition of Gimlet and Anchor.
But the problem is we can't do like a full acquired treatment for all these companies all at once.
But we keep wanting to kill David.
Dispen that much time at the library.
