The Circuit Breakers The Circuit Breakers The Circuit Breaker’s Podcast—where lofty, AI-driven ideas crash headlong into stubborn reality. Each week, we’ll toy with strange concepts, half-baked theories born from artificial intelligence’s vast frontier, and the occasional bit of meaningful insight (hey, it could happen). We’re not here to nod politely at every suggestion; we’d rather yank it apart, poke at the wiring, and then act surprised when sparks start flying.And who’s behind the curtain? Your hosts—Fiddler, Case, and Mollecule—ready to roll their eyes, shake their heads, and maybe even crack a grin. Some episodes, we’ll be starry-eyed optimists, convinced we’re about to reinvent the world through the latest AI breakthroughs. Other times, we’ll sulk around like we’ve just short-circuited our last remaining brain cell. But that’s the point: nothing is off-limits, nothing is sacred, and if we end up roasting your favorite idea over an open flame, well, at least it’ll keep things interesting.< Explicit Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast Lofty Labs Episodes and show notes available at friday.hirelofty.com. An unapologetic show about the culture and chaos of software engineering from the makers and breakers of digital products at Lofty Labs. We build software with Python and Django, Ruby and Rails, Golang, whatever frontend framework we're forced to use because it's popular this month, and anything else to get the job done right. Then on Friday afternoons we have a beer and talk about our regrets on this show. Explicit Restless Natives with Martin Compston & Gordon Smart Global Restless Natives is a cult Scottish film from 1985 featuring two scallywags – The Clown & The Wolfman. It’s iconic. Two resourceful rascals who take on the ambitious task of holding-up tourist buses in the Highlands… They were Robin Hood, only Scottish and on the back of a motorbike.Gordon Smart & Martin Compston are sampling that spirit - inspired by The Clown & The Wolfman - and distilling it into a podcast. They are setting themselves lofty ambitions before setting off in pursuit of tasks and goals they have absolutely no right achieving. A bit like their careers in TV, movies, newspapers and radio…Join them as they recount some of their ridiculous scrapes and adventures from the past while they plan even more ambitious, unreachable schemes for the future. Some of them will be achieved and others will crash and burn spectacularly. They’ve got lots to talk about, lots to share with you and nothing but time.As the film once said: “Is this the end of the story or a beginning of a le Explicit Absolute Lava for Good Podcasts Absolute, Season 1: Taser Incorporated is at once a tale as old as time - a true believer learns the hard way that the costs of lofty ambition and hubris just might outweigh even the most optimistic upside - and a thoroughly modern story of technology overtaking the very people it is meant to serve.  In this case:  the ubiquitous electric gun carried by cops everywhere and inspiring comedic shenanigans in movies like The Hangover.Host and documentarian Nick Berardini has been obsessed with this story for his entire adult life. With Absolute, Season 1: Taser Incorporated , he left no stone unturned. Taser, Inc., now known as Axon, the 800-pound gorilla in the paramilitary police equipment industry, is led by its charismatic CEO and co-founder, Rick Smith.  Fueled by a self-described religious dedication, Smith’s Star Trek obsession, and an ambitious vision of a world without gun violence, Rick leads Taser, Inc. to be the key tech supplier to virtually every police force in America.
