Broadcast Media: The Inside Track

In Episode 8, Ben reflects on a jam-packed Week 4 of the Berkeley ExecEd course — covering computer vision, NLP, and two practical assignments. Joined by HAIley, he breaks down image labelling tests, language model insights, and his visit to the Media Tech Show in London. Plus, plans for hands-on collaboration during Lab Week. AI’s not just theory anymore — it’s hitting the production floor.

In Episode 7, Ben explores neural networks and deep learning from Week 3 of his Berkeley ExecEd journey. Joined by co-host HAIley, he unpacks classification vs regression, loss functions, and adversarial inputs — and shares his real-world experiment using Google’s Teachable Machine on his podcast audio archive. The episode highlights how training data, error penalties, and robustness all shape effective AI models in the real world.

In Week 2 of his Berkeley ExecEd course, Ben explores machine learning fundamentals, business analytics, and the growing role of AI tools. Joined by co-host HAIley, they discuss descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive modeling, AI agents and workflows, and how this week’s learning is shaping Ben’s capstone direction. Plus, a real-world breakdown of Sky’s AdSmart platform as a standout example of prescriptive analytics in broadcasting.

In this episode, Ben shares insights from Week 1 of his journey through Berkeley’s “AI Strategy and Business Applications” Executive Education program. Joined by American AI co-host HAIley, they explore early mind shifts around AI in business, augmented intelligence, emerging job titles, and how consultants must evolve to stay relevant. Follow Ben’s journey weekly as he documents real-world takeaways from Berkeley’s ExecEd program — and how it shapes the future of consulting and content strategy.

In this special bonus episode, Ben revisits his very first broadcast consulting assignment — a contractor role in Hong Kong that laid the groundwork for everything that followed. Voiced by ChAIse (my US AI voice) and co-hosted by AvaAI, this conversation explores building broadcast workflows, cultural adaptation, and the early lessons that shaped his consulting journey.

Consulting is evolving fast — and AI is at the centre of it. In this episode, Ben unpacks how the rise of AI agencies, new hybrid job titles, and the demand for AI-literate strategy is reshaping the consultancy world. From his own pivot from broadcast to AI, to insights from global communities and new frameworks from Berkeley’s AI course, this is a must-listen for professionals ready to adapt and lead in the AI era.

After reviving the podcast using AI tools, Ben dives into how he’s building an ecosystem of digital products—from repurposing eBooks to launching AI-assisted audiograms and online courses. He breaks down his workflow using ElevenLabs, Headliner, Otter, and book/course creation tools, with real insights on pacing, production, and platform strategy. A must-listen for creators exploring AI to scale digital products.

In this episode, Ben walks through the real AI-powered content workflow he’s using across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. From Ideogram to Canva, CapCut to Syllaby, this is how modern creators build, automate, and publish at scale. Practical, honest, and built from experience — this episode is your inside look at content in the age of AI.
