TechBurst Talks

TechBurst Talks cuts through the noise to bring you sharp, no-BS conversations with the people actually building technology, not just hyping it.

Every tech trend promises to solve the world’s toughest challenges—IoT will reshape cities, AI will change work forever, and smart cities will fix urban chaos. But why does reality so often fall short of the hype?

Join host Charles Reed Anderson as he connects with industry insiders, innovators, and deep thinkers to unpack what’s really working—and what’s not.

No vendor pitches. No sugar-coating. Just honest explorations of the ideas and products shaping our future.
