Tech policy gets made in the center. The rhetoric lives at the edge. This podcast is about the fights in Washington that shape what gets built, who builds it, and who gets to use it. Host Evan Swarztrauber sits down with the regulators, members of Congress, founders, investors, and advocates shaping the debates on AI, Big Tech, data centers, drones, broadband, satellites, national security, and the fights you haven't heard about yet. Evan is Principal at CorePoint Strategies, a Senior Fellow at the Digital Progress Institute, and a former policy advisor at the FCC to then-Chairman Ajit Pai and Commissioner Brendan Carr. He previously hosted The Dynamist. The Center Edge is sponsored by the Digital Progress Institute and produced by Vulgate Media.
