This week, Travis and Stewart interview Alexis Ohanian, cofounder of the front page of the internet - Reddit. The second in our Web Summit series, this was recorded the morning of the US Presidential Election results, which made for some interesting discussion around communities, influence, and Reddit's role in that process: A topic that has since become quite the discussion point. In the news, we discuss what has happened at Reddit since the interview, reveal Facebook's new dynamic ads for app installs, and revisit the time we predicted what was going wrong at Pebble, which shut down this week.

@therealsjr Thanks again for having me! That conference was a blur, but really enjoyed chatting with you.

@alexisohanian Likewise. I personally did 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. each day. Except for two days. One where I didn't sleep at all, and one where I finished at 5 a.m. instead. Surprised to have survived! Thanks again Alexis.
