Business shifts, explained through operators.
Analyse Podcast tracks how companies, platforms, and public systems change when new technology reaches operational scale. Recent conversations move from agentic security operations and enterprise AI to podcast studios, electric buses, and the mechanics of attention.

Analyse Podcast is a business and technology interview show with a strong Asia-facing lens. It favors the practical middle layer between high-level trend talk and company-specific execution. Recent episodes return often to AI, but the show treats it as a systems problem rather than a novelty. Security operations become a question of automation, governance, attack surfaces, and how CISOs help organizations adopt trusted AI. Enterprise infrastructure becomes a discussion about search, vector databases, permissions, retrieval workflows, observability, and the long work of making AI useful at scale. Developer strategy becomes less about surprise at model output and more about raising ambition, modernizing old code, and learning how to delegate meaningful work to AI-powered tools. The show also has a media-business thread. A conversation on Poddster and Podyx looks at podcasting as infrastructure, with studios, operating procedures, franchising, and software sitting behind what audiences experience as content. Its transportation-electrification coverage stays similarly grounded. The KMB episode frames electric buses through fleet replacement timelines, depot capacity, charging demand, government coordination, and the practical constraints of moving a large transit system away from diesel. Not every episode is purely corporate. A conversation with Nir Eyal moves into behavior, attention, habits, discomfort, and the idea that beliefs can function as tools. The pace is brisk, and the host tends to open with a topical frame before pressing guests toward definitions, examples, and implications. The best episodes feel like a working conversation among people trying to map the next operational bottleneck. It is strongest for listeners who already care about markets, infrastructure, and company building. The emphasis is not hype. It is how global technology and media shifts are being translated into products, governance, workflows, and regional expansion.
Made for: For founders, executives, product leaders, investors, and technology-watchers who want Asia-aware conversations about business change, AI infrastructure, media operations, and transport transformation.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by connecting macro technology shifts to operational detail: depots, permissions models, evaluations, studio SOPs, legacy code, and regional expansion plans.
A weekly podcast exploring the pulse of business, technology, and media worldwide. Hosted by Bernard Leong, the show features in-depth conversations with leading journalists, executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders on the ideas and forces shaping global markets — from Asia to the rest of the world.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A focused look at how AI agents are reshaping security operations and CISO priorities.
The episode treats the agentic SOC as a practical enterprise security question, not a catchphrase. With attack volume expected to double over the next three years, it starts from a blunt imbalance: defenders have to cover every path in, while attackers only need one.
A practical look at podcasting as infrastructure, not just content, from one operator thinking at scale.
This conversation treats podcasting less like a creator hobby and more like infrastructure, with Boko Kovacevic speaking as someone building the machinery.
Elastic's AI infrastructure pitch is clearest when retrieval mechanics meet enterprise permissions and governance.
Elastic's move from search into AI infrastructure gives the episode a clear business spine: enterprise AI depends on connecting models to governed, usable data, systems, and workflows.
