As the fallout from the attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment continued through the holiday week, Re/coders went on the airwaves to discuss the latest turns in the ongoing saga.

Co-Executive Editor Kara Swisher called into CNBC’s “Squawk Alley” to explain the strong demand for “The Interview,” the film that sparked all the controversy, after Sony finally released the film online.

Managing Editor Edmund Lee visited CNBC earlier in the week to discuss Sony’s potential distribution options.

Finally, Senior Editor Arik Hesseldahl went on CNBC to weigh in on whether there was a possible connection between the attacks and the Christmas Day hacks of Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox Live.


Full disclosure: NBCUniversal is a minority investor in Revere Digital, Recode’s parent company.
