I have another special episode of the Code Story podcast today, where I'm sharing another great podcast I've just been made aware of. It's called The Closer, from the team at Project Brazen, hosted by financial journalist Aimee Keane. The show focuses on pulling out the high octane emotion and exponential stakes that underscore todays biggest acquisition or investment headlines.
In the episode I'm sharing today, the host takes you inside the final days of Toys R Us with Lauren Hirsch, the reporter who first revealed the iconic company's impending bankruptcy. You can expect to hear juicy tidbits around what drove the company out of business.
Check out The Closer, and subscribe today, on your favorite podcast catcher.
And thanks again for listening.

Andy Wilson lives in Central Oregon, which he claims is an adult playground. He loves to ski, hike, and enjoy all outdoor recreation available to him. His favorite food is a medium-rare steak, which I gotta say is an excellent choice. He got his tech degree in the 90's, and fell into the world of legal tech.
Previously, Andy worked for a company that printed email for legal teams - like truck loads of email. He decided to startup a business to digitize this process, using servers in his dining room. Eventually, he moved to the cloud, and started using AI.

Dr. Eamonn Keogh is a globally renowned expert in data mining, machine learning, and information retrieval. He is pioneering the field of computational entomology. Outside of tech, he is originally from Dublin, Ireland, but came to California in the 80's. He misses his family in Ireland, but he loves the cuisine in California, specifically Mexican food. I made sure to invite him to Texas though, cause we have great Mexican food.
A perk of Dr. Keogh's job as a professor, he gets to play with toys (in his words). He picked up a science toy one day and decided to see if he could pick up sound from plant insects. When it worked, he decided to take it to the next level.
