Signal Post Daily is your daily tech and AI news briefing, delivered conversationally by a tech journalist and a skeptical analyst who aren't afraid to challenge the hype. We cut through the noise of Silicon Valley announcements, industry jargon, and marketing spin to ask the questions that actually matter: What does this mean for you? Is this real or just hype? What are we missing? Every episode tackles the stories that are reshaping technology, business, and how we live—with the rigor of reporting and the authenticity of two smart people genuinely thinking through what's happening. Human-curated, AI-delivered, always skeptical.
