A business podcast dedicated to exploring headline issues to understand the longer-term stakes for the economy and the world.
Shortman Studios is launching The Big Tech Ticket, a new podcast about tech, business, and news. Industry veteran James Rogers (FoxNews.com, TheStreet, CMP Media) will host the show. The Big Tech Ticket will be an interview-driven podcast that explores headline issues in the world of technology to understand what’s behind the stories and what matters for the broader economy and the world.
The technology sector’s rise in relevance, utility, and power in our lives and the international landscape has been increasingly self-evident over the 21st century. The past decade saw once-charming upstarts become behemoths who drew scrutiny from a wide range of critics. And the COVID-19 pandemic has only grown the sector’s salience and our dependence on their products, heightening the contradictory position. As we emerge from that pandemic with the rising awareness of this dependence, there are tons of questions about what happens next, which the Big Tech Ticket will address.
The podcast will run for an inaugural 8-episode season. Each Wednesday, The Big Tech Ticket will feature a Rogers interview with experts and decision makers in the wider technology industry. Initial episodes will feature Jason Mollica, professor of communications at American University, and Gilman Louie, partner at VC fund Alsop Louie and governor on the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence.
The podcast debuts on May 5th and will be available on all podcast platforms. Listen to the trailer on Apple or Podbean, and follow for future episodes. New episodes will publish every Wednesday.
