This week on the GeekWire Podcast: we take the show on the road — or rather, on the rails — recording on Sound Transit's 2 Line (soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/routes-schedules/2-line) as we ride the world's first light rail on a floating bridge (geekwire.com/2026/microsoft-lime-and-others-helping-to-celebrate-opening-of-new-light-rail-line-from-seattle-to-eastside/) from Seattle's Northgate neighborhood to Microsoft's campus in Redmond.
Along the way, we talk tech news, chat with fellow passengers, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the engineering from Sound Transit's Henry Bendon (instagram.com/henryonboard/) .
After arriving in Redmond, we sit down with Microsoft President Brad Smith (news.microsoft.com/source/exec/brad-smith/) to talk about the company's two-decade role in making the Crosslake Connection (soundtransit.org/crosslake) a reality — and hit him with a trivia question he didn't see coming.
We also discuss Anduril's autonomous warship facility on Seattle's ship canal (geekwire.com/2026/defense-giant-anduril-is-quietly-building-autonomous-warships-on-seattles-historic-ship-canal/) , golf star Bryson DeChambeau's acquisition of Bellevue-based Sportsbox AI (geekwire.com/2026/golf-star-bryson-dechambeau-leads-acquisition-of-seattle-area-startup-sportsbox-ai/) ahead of the Masters, and more.
With GeekWire's John Cook, Todd Bishop, and Kurt Schlosser. Edited by Curt Milton.
