We never planned to record 100 episodes.
This podcast started in mid-2025 as a side project — something to externalize what normally stayed locked inside consulting decks, workshops, and boardroom conversations. Fast-forward a few months, and here we are at Episode 100.
So instead of doing a highlight reel or a victory lap, Malcolm did something else:
He downloaded the transcripts of the previous 99 episodes
Fed them into Claude Code
And asked a simple question:
“What did we actually say?”
What came back was surprising.
AI flagged provocative quotes.
Patterns of criticism.
Recurring themes around Europe, geopolitics, layoffs, chip wars, and power.
Predictions that, uncomfortably, are already coming true.
This episode is a reflection — not just on the podcast, but on how AI, business, and global power structures have shifted in a matter of months.
• The “AI Grenades”
Why provocative statements matter — and why Malcolm doesn’t apologize for them.
• Europe: A Love Letter Through Criticism
Why Europe’s biggest problem isn’t talent, but urgency.
Why Singapore, China, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia are executing while Europe debates.
• From Consulting Artifact to Public Asset
How the podcast became a way to scale insight beyond slide decks.
• Finding the Voice
From early prompting tutorials, to technical deep dives, to calling out AI failures, to geopolitics and history.
• AI Drama
Why long-form, narrative-driven AI episodes resonate more than daily news — and why this format is here to stay.
• Using AI to Build the Podcast Itself
How AI agents now write, fact-check, restructure, and improve episodes.
Why 70% of production is now AI-assisted — and why that matters.
• Predictions vs Reality
Why some early predictions now look disturbingly accurate.
Why being wrong publicly is part of thinking seriously about AI.
• What Comes Next (2026)
More AI Drama.
More practical tool breakdowns.
More selective guests.
Less noise. More signal.
This is not an AI news episode.
This is not a tutorial.
This is not hype.
It’s a checkpoint.
A look at how fast things moved in just 100 episodes — and a reminder that what feels “fast” now will look slow in hindsight.
If you’ve been listening since Episode 1: thank you.
