Come hang with us for live recordings of TechCrunch podcasts Equity and Found

Are you a numbers nerd? A people person?

In either case, there’s a TechCrunch podcast for you.

TechCrunch’s premier (only) podcasts Equity and Found are kicking off 2022 with live recordings of the shows starting in February. Listeners can catch the live recordings on YouTube, Facebook or (to get even more involved) chat directly with the hosts by registering on Hopin.

Here’s a look at the schedule:

If you’ve been listening to Equity for a while, this is a chance to go even deeper. You’ll get to listen to the episode a day early, get behind-the-scenes access and even chat live with the Equity crew, including Alex Wilhelm, Natasha Mascarenhas and Mary Ann Azevedo.

If you’re brand new to the Equity fandom, come on in and have a look around. The water’s nice.

Equity is all about unpacking the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. The Equity crew wades through the hype to keep you up to date on the world of business, technology and venture capital, and they have a blast doing it.

Found, TechCrunch’s newer (and arguably better — as a co-host I’m only a little biased) podcast focuses on the stories behind the startups. We talk to founders about the peaks and pits of running a business, including the fundraising process, hiring, leadership tactics and more.

We’ve talked to folks like Ro co-founder Rob Schultz, Envoy CEO Larry Gadea, Maria Shriver and Patrick Schwarzenegger (who co-founded MOSH) and Hims and Hers co-founder Hilary Coles.

For our first live recording of Found, we’ll sit down with QuizUp founder Thor Fridriksson, who has proven himself a master of developing viral mobile games, and learn about his template for success and what he’s learned from his failures.

How Thor Fridriksson’s ‘Trivia Royale’ earned 2.5M downloads in 3 weeks

Folks who register (for free) to join the live recording on Hopin will be able to ask their own questions to Thor throughout the episode.

It should be pretty damn cool.

This Week in Apps: Microsoft’s app store principles, TikTok’s new safety policies, Apple reveals ‘Tap to Pay’

Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the weekly TechCrunch series that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy. The app industry continues to grow, with a record number of downloads and consumer spending across both the iOS and Google Play stores combined in 2021, according to the latest year-end reports . App Annie says global spending across iOS, Google Play and third-party Android app stores in China grew 19% in 2021 to reach $170 billion. Downloads of apps also grew by 5%, reaching 230 billion in 2021, and mobile ad spend grew 23% year-over-year to reach $295 billion. In addition, consumers are spending more time in apps than ever before — even topping the time they spend watching TV, in some cases. The average American watches 3.1 hours of TV per day, for example, but in 2021, they spent 4.1 hours on their mobile device. And they’re not even the world’s heaviest mobile users. In markets like Brazil, Indonesia and South Korea, users...

Fetch raises $3.5M for its self-service truck rental marketplace

Once upon a time, I had a truck. I loved that truck! I didn’t actually use the truck as a truck all that often, so eventually I sold it and bought something more in tune with my daily needs. Something more “practical,” I suppose. I still miss that truck. Now the few times a year I do need to use a truck as a truck, I’ve gotta convince a buddy to let me borrow theirs for the 34th time or try to nab a rental at the big box hardware store. Hope one is available by the time I get there, wait in line, fill out the paper work, run out to my car because I forgot my insurance card, get back in line, yadda yadda. Fetch , a company we first wrote about a few years ago , makes the process a bit easier: find a truck (or van!) nearby, reserve it through the app, walk up and unlock it from your phone, and be on your way. This week the team is announcing that it has raised $3.5 million to help expand their team and operations. To make Fetch happen, you could say. Fetch is up and running in a ha...

Twitter’s EU-only geoblocks of Russia Today off to a shaky start

Twitter has claimed it’s complying with an EU-wide ban on Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik which came into force yesterday as part of the package of sanctions imposed by the bloc on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, albeit reluctantly. In a statement the social network has been circulating in response to press requests this week a Twitter spokesperson said: The European Union (EU) sanctions will legally require us to withhold certain content in EU member states, and we intend to comply. Our global approach outside of the EU will continue to focus on de-amplifying this type of state-affiliated media content across our service and providing important context through our labels. We continue to advocate for a free and open internet, particularly in times of crisis. However it’s not clear how well Twitter is actually complying with the legal order banning the distribution of RT’s content in the EU. While some users around Europe have reported encountering an “account withheld”...
