In a world where technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, staying informed and connected with the latest trends and innovations has never been more crucial.
Enter TechMagic with Cathy Hackl, a new weekly podcast that promises to be your ultimate guide to the ever-evolving world of technology. The first episode debuts Oct. 11.
TechMagic with Cathy Hackl is not your run-of-the-mill tech podcast. It’s a captivating journey into the heart of technology, where fluff takes a backseat and in-depth exploration takes center stage.
Hosted by tech futurist, visionary and pioneer Cathy Hackl, this podcast is your passport to understanding the profound impact of technology on our lives. From AI, spatial computing, virtual worlds, gaming and XR to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, synthetic biology, frontier tech and beyond, TechMagic seeks to provide clarity in an age of accelerated technological change.
The magic begins with Hackl, along with a guest co-host, taking you on a riveting ride through some of the top tech headlines of the week. But there’s a twist—it’s all gamified. In the Future or Fad segment, you get to dissect these headlines and determine whether they’re the heralds of a tech-driven future or mere flashes in the pan, part of the tech hype cycle.
To make this segment even more enthralling, Hackl’s inaugural co-host is none other than Lee Kebler, former CTO of music icon Will.i.am. Together, they will unravel the mysteries of tech trends and provide insights you won’t find anywhere else.
TechMagic with Cathy Hackl also invites you into the minds of tech and brand leaders. Through exclusive interviews, you’ll gain access to the wisdom and experiences of those at the forefront of innovation. Discover how these visionary leaders across the globe are leveraging technology to revolutionize their industries.
