There were more interesting points, I thought ? for example understanding
the industry being key to understanding Jobs, or ?Steve Jobs The Enemy Of
Success? ? so YMMV. The biographer?s name is Isaacson, not Iverson. It?s
true that the podcast rambles and goes back to earlier episodes in the
beginning with follow-ups, which I should?ve warned about. But the idea is
also that it?s a fun, enjoyable conversation, not an information-dense
get-to-the-point thing.
Siracusa mentioned Michael Malone?s *The Infinite Loop* which is also my
personal favourite take on Apple ? not just reporting facts, but trying to
understand the personalities of Apple?s creators, and just so much more
interesting to read as a piece of literature.

1:42 minutes with maybe 30 minutes worth
listening to.
I'm pretty sure they're doing it on purpose
To save others 1:42 of their time, there were only two interesting
things:
- he doesn't like Iverson as a biographer, he thought it should have
been done by Robert Caro
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**The_Power_Broker<http://en.wikipedia.org/…
lots of niddling points that Iverson didn't ask hard questions, didn't
do enough original research, and the feeing that it was rushed to
get it out before it was properly edited.
- there was a long discussion at the end about Jobs ignoring his kids
with the justification that he was doing the world more good by spending
the time creating 'great' products.
