Failover Weekly: New Show, Same Great Takes
Big news this week: The Reasoning Show is now The Enterprise AI Show. New name — Aaron and Brian are still doing exactly what they do best, just with a name that says exactly what it is. If you've been listening, nothing changes. If you haven't, this is a good week to start.
From the Network
The Enterprise AI Show Ep. 1027 — An AI Market Analysis, May 2026
A point-in-time snapshot of the AI market across 11 major categories. If you've been watching the space blur past at high speed, this is a good place to stop and take stock. Aaron and Brian's first episode under the new name is exactly the kind of thing the old name was always building toward.
Software Defined Talk Ep. 572 — The World Isn't curl
We dig into how security gets sold to executives, where agentic coding and security are on a collision course, and Cloudflare vs. Datadog's very different growth trajectories. Coté also has strong opinions about sugar cookies.
The Cloud Pod Ep. 353 — Don't Be Evil Unless the Government Asks Nicely
Justin and the crew dig into what happens when your ethics policy comes with an asterisk for government requests. Good episode for anyone keeping an eye on the DOJ / big tech situation.
Podcast of the Week
Syntax Ep. 985 — Stop Putting Secrets in .env
You almost certainly have plain-text secrets sitting in .env files right now. Wes and Scott dig into why that's a problem and how tools like Varlock are trying to fix it. Worth a listen before your next commit.
Non-Tech Pod of the Week
Wind of Change — Crooked Media
A mini-series built around one question: did the CIA write "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions? It sounds absurd until it doesn't. Genuinely one of the best podcast investigations out there — great listening if you haven't gotten to it yet.
