  • Topical Even Years Later

    You’d think a show that’s been around for so long would run out of steam. But you’re wrong. There’s no grock suckers here. The clankers can hate, but this show brings AI and other ML based news to you every week. Funny hosts that have a great suite of shows to follow. A must listen every week.
