101 episodes - English - Latest episode: 6 days ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsHosted by Marco Ciappelli | Audio Signals Podcast is repositioning its antennas!
Formerly hosted by both ITSPmagazine's Co-Founders Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin as a way to venture away from The Intersection Of Technology, Cybersecurity, and Society and discover other stories worth to be told, Marco is now hosting the show and decided to focus not just on the stories, but on the storytellers.
A few words from the host:
"I am Marco Ciappelli, the host of the Audio Signal podcast. I am excited to announce a new direction for our show: from now on, we will focus on storytelling in all its diverse forms.
Storytelling is at the core of our human societal experience. It is how we transmit knowledge, share experiences, and communicate our values. Stories are more than just narratives - they are bridges that connect us, shaping our worldview and identity. They are the threads that weave together the fabric of our collective consciousness, revealing the complexity and richness of the human condition.
In our modern, hybrid analog-digital society, the art of storytelling holds even greater importance. As technology brings us closer together, stories have the power to break down barriers, foster understanding, and build a sense of shared human experience in an increasingly interconnected world.
Whether you are authors, screenwriters, filmmakers, directors, poets, playwrights, oral storytellers, songwriters, musicians, journalists, documentarians, comedians, graphic novelists, comic book writers, podcasters, video game designers, dancers, choreographers, etc. - each one of you contributes to this grand tapestry of human experience. Through your chosen medium, you articulate narratives that provoke thought, inspire, entertain, and illuminate the myriad corners of our existence.
So, in recognizing this, I am repositioning our antennas and shifting our Podcast to spotlight the fantastic storytelling universe, focusing on the storytellers themselves.
I invite you to join me on this journey to share your passion, craft, and the stories that truly make us human. Let's continue the timeless tradition of storytelling together in this new, evolving digital era.
If you would like to be on the show, please submit a request, and hopefully, you will be on the show to share your narratives with our audience!

Book | Uncaring: How The Culture Of Medicine Kills Doctors And Patients. How Tech Can Help | An Audio Signals Conversation With Dr. Robert M. Pearl
April 04, 2021 04:07 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBHow good of a dish are you going to get when you use bad ingredients? Are you going to blame the recipe? Some people would, and by doing so, they would keep baking bad cooks and blaming the recipe for it. Algorithms work the same. You give AI bad data, you get bad results. The metaphor works well until you realize that, when you end up with a lousy meal, you can throw it in the trash and order from a restaurant and get a new meal.

In today's episode, nearly four years later, we invited Scott Scheferma...
