Our writers and editors hit the airwaves to discuss the week’s tech headlines.

Re/code’s writers and editors briefly backed away from their keyboards and stepped in front of cameras and microphones this week to weigh in on the latest tech news.

Walt Mossberg appeared on CNBC to explain why Samsung needs to get better at software.

Kara Swisher also stopped the business news network to chat about Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s gender gaffe, Jessica Alba’s brand savvy, Apple’s doomed download business and the HP split.

Peter Kakfa joined Marketplace to analyze the NBA’s new streaming deal with ESPN.

Liz Gannes talked to KCRW’s Madeleine Brand about the safety issues associated with navigation apps like Waze.

Finally, I appeared on on TWiT.tv (apparently in a hoodie), where I discussed Elon Musk’s unveiling of the Tesla P85D and made up some exciting new words like “graffitifying.”

*NBCUniversal is an investor in Revere Digital, Re/code’s parent company, and the two have a content sharing agreement.
