NEW TO CLOUD? CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCAST: "CLOUDCAST BASICS"

SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - What are we announcing? (“The Reasoning Show”, a.k.a. “Reasoning”)

New name, same RSS feeds (same podcast players)
New logo
Some existing/renamed and some new social media channels (will be listed)
Same co-hosts (and maybe some new friends)

Topic 2 - Why are we changing The Cloudcast?

The majority of our content is AI focused now
Cloud has become mostly stable, AI is at the beginning and so much is changing
We’re not abandoning Cloud, just giving it the amount of coverage needs (monthly Cloudcast, monthly CNOTM)
Social media algorithms have changed audience acquisition

Topic 3 - Hasn’t The Cloudcast already been covering AI for a while?

Yes, it’s been about 50/50 since 2024
We’ve been discussing this change for almost a year.
We actually discussed having an OpenAI-specific podcast at one point, but so much as changed in the market (which is a good reason for a diverse podcast)

Topic 4 - What can we expect from the new podcast?

Still on Wednesday and Sunday
Both audio and video formats (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok/Insta (clips))
Trying to make it easier for someone new to follow along - more concentration around core topics, but not exclusively
AI Technology, AI Economics, AI Trends, AI (Business) Use-Cases, AI Things to Watch, AI Productivity, AI Regulation
We’ll still do a “Cloudcast” once a month, as the Cloud underpins almost everything AI
We’ll likely do a “Reasoning Basics” spin-off, like Cloudcast Basics.
We’ll get a newsletter pulled together (hopefully weekly).

Topic 5 - Anything else?

Listeners don’t have to do anything to keep getting their week podcast
Subscribe to the social media channels (show notes)
Leave a 5-star review on the podcast players
Tell a friend to check out the show
