About the show

Signal & Stories is a podcast about artificial intelligence — the signal underneath the hype, and the stories of the people producing it.

Every episode is a long-form conversation with someone actually building: the engineers, researchers and founders behind the products, papers and companies shaping the field. We go past the headline into the architecture that makes it work, and past the architecture into the career decisions, dead ends and luck that got each guest there.
