Molly created and currently hosts CNET’s flagship podcast, Buzz Out Loud, streamed live on CNET TV and available in both video and audio form.

Molly hosts CNET Conversations, an interview series featuring tech industry newsmakers and CEOs. She has interviewed Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, Ford Chairman and CEO Alan Mulally, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, and more.
She’s also an experienced moderator, panelist, and presenter, and has appeared at trade shows ranging from CES to CTAM to NCTA to ad:tech.
Molly can be found on radio and television as well: she hosts a nationally distributed one-minute weekly spot for CBS Radio, and has anchored or co-anchored several CBS television tech specials, including a holiday buying guide, a Consumer Electronics Show special, and a Comic-Con special. In her spare time, she fills in on CNET Car Tech reviews, since she’s not just a gadget geek, but a certifiable car nut, too.
