New podcast from CruiseCtrl365
From buzzword to decision
A podcast for CIOs, CDOs, infrastructure managers and program managers who need to make AI decisions without becoming engineers. 5–7 minutes per episode. One question, one answer, no sidetracking. We sort out Copilot, Azure, governance, licenses and security – without sales talk.
The episodes are produced by Pia Langenkrans with AI support – short, concise and consistent, week after week. Not a news podcast. Not a Microsoft commercial. Straight answers for you who will actually make the decision.
That's how the podcast came about
It started with a customer meeting. The customer asked question after question – really good questions, the kind that many people have but few ask out loud. I thought: This is good stuff. Exactly what a podcast should answer.
I want to try doing everything with AI. So I let it be an experiment: a podcast, produced from ear to loaf with AI support. At first I had a plan for a looping video to post on YouTube as well – but I skipped that and just let it live on Spotify.
It took four to five hours over two days. I'll never make any advertising revenue from this – but that was never the point. The point was to see how far you get, and that the answers are actually useful.
What can be annoying is the pronunciation. But it's tricky – we in IT speak Swedish all day, so what's even "right"? I started with a free voice, broke down pretty quickly, and spent five dollars a month on ElevenLabs instead. Worth it.
Who is it for?
You own the AI strategy, the implementation, or the budget – but you are not a technician. You don’t need to become an engineer. You need to make the right decisions, ask the right questions, and avoid the classic pitfalls.
- CIO & CDO – Owns the AI strategy but lacks time for technical in-depth analysis.
- Infrastructure manager – Will implement and deploy AI solutions in practice.
- Program manager – Leading AI initiatives and need to understand the challenges in advance.
- IT Manager at SMB – Without a dedicated AI department – but with responsibility on their desk.
