WHAT WE COVER THE TITANS: How companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and xAI are moving, and why their decisions matter. THE INCUMBENTS: How content giants like Disney, News Corp, Universal Music Group, and Reddit are responding to AI, and what it means for creators and publishers.

    I’m Rob Kelly, and this is Media and the Machine, a show about the biggest technology shift of our lifetime and how to profit from it.


    Each week I talk with founders and CEOs closest to AI and Content, the people figuring this out in real time. I’m also building an AI content business myself and sharing what I learn along the way.


    I'm a 3-time founder and CEO and earlier in my career interviewed such tech leaders as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
