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
