The Show

About SHIFT

Delivered weekly, SHIFT blends "show me" journalism with a mix of fireside chats, oral histories, narrative storytelling, and documentary-style investigations. We bring you intimate conversations with innovators, scientists, policymakers and entrepreneurs — often taped in labs and research hubs that advance an understanding of what's really happening.

The team behind SHIFT has spent years covering frontier technology together, building some of the most-recognized AI and science podcasts in the world. Their previous collaborations include WSJ's The Future of Everything, In Machines We Trust (which charted in more than 70 countries), The Extortion Economy with ProPublica, and The Race to Superintelligence — work recognized by the Webby Awards, The Podcast Academy's Ambies, Signal Awards, New York Festivals, the Clarion Awards, and the Front Page Awards, among others.
