Each week, John Biggs and I head over to the Sirius XM studios for a live radio show on Sirius XM 102 Indie: TechCrunch Radio.
Last week, we discussed our first weeks with the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. While I’m more partial to the iPhone 6 (or even the 5s, in terms of size), John is truly excited about the new screen real estate on the iPhone 6 Plus, entirely comfortable with the much larger, thinner smartphone.
We also talked through some misconceptions with iPhone “bend-gate”.
In the second half of the show, we were joined by special guest judge Charlie O’Donnell from Brooklyn Bridge Ventures and five startups looking to spread the word on the radio. In the end, motorhead-focused discovery platform Motoroso dominated the pitch-off and was declared the final winner.
We’ll be hitting you again next Tuesday at 6pm ET/3pm PT, with a replay at 6pm PT, on Sirius XM Channel 102 Indie. There’s a free 30-day trial available online at the Sirius website if you don’t already have a subscription.
ALSO
In each episode, we hold a pitch-off where five companies can give their quick pitch to John, myself, and a guest judge. We will ask a few questions, get to know the companies, and then deliberate live on the air over who should be our winner.
It’s a great chance to get the word out about your company and a fun way to get some feedback.
