Who it's for

Our take: it fits professionals who follow Big Tech strategy and the business side of AI. For more shows like it, see our best AI podcasts for business list.

With about two episodes a week at roughly an hour each, it is a manageable way to follow the business side of AI without a daily commitment. The interview episodes, such as the Bosworth and Stamos episodes below, are where you hear directly from insiders. The show's focus is the business side of Big Tech, so AI coverage tends to center on company strategy.
