Making the Cut

Making the Cut, hosted by Jim Cooper and James Yang, takes you inside the collision between technology, policy and capital shaping the future of startups. Each week, Jim and James go head to head on the stories that matter, from AI disrupting entire industries to the regulation battles that will decide who gets to build what, and where.

This isn't a podcast that reads you the tech news. Jim brings decades of experience across political science, innovation policy and venture capital. James is a founder building in the trenches of AI and software right now. They disagree often, challenge each other directly and never settle for surface-level takes.

If you're a founder trying to figure out how AI changes your business model, an investor looking for the signal in the noise, or someone who wants to understand how policy, markets and technology actually connect, this is the show.

Every episode covers what happened, why it matters and what to do about it. No fluff. No scripts. Just two people who care deeply about where Australia and the world is heading in tech, and aren't afraid to say what they actually think.

New episodes weekly.
