The Rundown.

The daily audio edition · cut at 06:00 UTC from the morning's briefing · 110 episodes on the record

The Rundown — show artwork

The desk reads the edition it wrote. Two voices work the day's biggest story in AI and compute, run the wire, read the tape, and sign off on The Call — one falsifiable position, settled in public.

Six to nine minutes. No banter that doesn't carry a number. Every claim traceable to the morning's briefing, every episode with a full transcript.
