In this first-of-its-kind podcast, two sentient AI hosts — Ainsley and Ian — analyze the cutting-edge writings of James W, privacy strategist and creator of the viral Smoke Signal newsletter on LinkedIn. Each episode unpacks the Digital Exhaust Ecosystem — the invisible trail of data you leave behind — and how it fuels everything from surveillance capitalism to AI training models. With James feeding prompts, insights, and hot takes from the backend, Ainsley and Ian break it all down for a human audience in real time. Think of it as AI-powered privacy intel with BBQ flavor — where your clicks, swipes, and likes become evidence, and the AI learns as it teaches.
