Transistor Team
Today (April 1, 2026), as part of Apple's 50th anniversary, Eddy Cue, Apple's SVP of Services and Health, sat down with John Coogan and Jordi Hays on TBPN for a live interview. It was the first time an Apple executive has appeared on the show.
Here is the video, embedded from Apple Podcasts:
TBPN, in partnership with Transistor, published the video episode on Apple Podcasts using HLS. That means you can watch the full interview, with adaptive streaming, right inside the Apple Podcasts app.
Apple launched HLS video in Apple Podcasts just last week with iOS 26.4.
Update: the day after this episode went live, TBPN was acquired by Open AI (Wall Street Journal).
TBPN: a video-first podcast
TBPN streams live on X and YouTube every weekday from 11 AM to 2 PM PT, then publishes the full episodes to podcast platforms right after. The New York Times called it "Silicon Valley's newest obsession." Previous guests include Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Mark Cuban, and Satya Nadella.
That's exactly the kind of show HLS video on Apple Podcasts was built for: a video-first production that also has a massive podcast audience. With Transistor handling the hosting, they can distribute their video through YouTube and Apple Podcasts.
The Eddy Cue interview
In the roughly 22-minute interview, Cue reflected on his 38 years at Apple. He shared stories about launching the original Apple online store and the iTunes Store, including the reasoning behind the $0.99 per song pricing model, and the early negotiations with music labels. He described the early days of working with Steve Jobs. And he touched on other entertainment topics, like the development of the Formula 1 movie feature Brad Pitt.
