What happens when the promise of endless choice starts to feel more like endless complexity? Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Amit Nag, Vice President, Connected Products & Experiences of TELUS, and Ragu Masilamany, Amdocs General Manager, for a conversation about what Amit calls the “grand reaggregation”, a shift toward making digital life simpler again across entertainment and the smart home. After years of apps, devices, subscriptions, and services multiplying in every direction, the discussion explores why consumers may now be ready for a more unified experience that brings choice back under a simpler, more intuitive layer. The conversation looks at how AI is changing what that unified experience can actually feel like. From smart home platforms that bring together Wi-Fi, IoT, cameras, sensors, and locks, to generative interfaces that help people interact with their homes in more natural ways, Amit outlines a future where the user no longer has to navigate the complexity behind the scenes. Instead, the system interprets context, assembles the right actions, and creates an experience that feels coherent rather than fragmented.

What happens when AI stops being theoretical and starts changing the physical world? Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Daniel Lawson, SVP, Global Solutions of Verizon Business and co-host, Ganesh Balasubramanian, VP, CBE at Amdocs, for a conversation about the moment enterprise technology seems to be entering now: where AI, 5G, edge computing, and connected devices are no longer separate conversations, but part of the same operational reality. From robotics on the show floor to real-world deployments in healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics, they explore what it means when long-promised technologies finally begin to converge at scale. The discussion looks closely at the platform challenge behind that shift. As Daniel explains, enterprise AI is not just about better models, but about building the orchestration, resilience, security, and connectivity needed to turn intelligence into action in the real world. Together, they unpack why the network is becoming a strategic layer again, and why platform simplification, stronger ecosystems, and partner-led innovation will be critical to delivering the next generation of enterprise use cases.

Launching an MVNO may sound straightforward. In practice, it is anything but.Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Andy Hopkins, CTO of MVNX Link, and Amdocs' Mark Prudhoe for a conversation about what it really takes to bring new mobile providers to market. Together, they unpack the hidden complexity behind customer onboarding, billing, upgrades, top-ups, and service transitions, and why improving the customer journey remains one of the most important, and underestimated, challenges in the MVNO space.The discussion explores how the partnership between MVNX Link and Amdocs is designed to simplify that complexity: combining a SaaS-based platform, a practical customization layer, and a faster path to launch for MVNOs and MVNEs looking to get to market with less cost and less friction.

Jace of The Comic Source breaks down Corpse Knight #1 from Skybound Entertainment, written by Michael Chaves with art by Matthew Roberts and colors by Rico Renzi. Set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War, the story follows a young girl named Foy and her father as they struggle to survive in a dangerous, war-torn countryside, with the relationship between the two serving as the emotional foundation of the issue. After tragedy strikes, that bond takes a dark and unexpected turn when her father returns under mysterious circumstances, raising questions about faith, sacrifice, and what it truly means to protect someone. Jace highlights the cinematic storytelling approach, the strength of the visual narrative, and how the issue leans more into character-driven dark fantasy than traditional horror, while also touching on the Joan of Arc element that sets up the broader journey ahead.

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we interview cartoonist Stephanie Stalvey, diving deep into her graphic memoir Everything in Color. In the conversation, Stalvey opens up about growing up in an evangelical household, unpacking purity culture, and how motherhood reshaped her understanding of faith and identity. It's an honest, vulnerable discussion about turning lived experience into art, and why telling these stories can resonate far beyond one person's life.

Darboe variant) Interview: Stephanie Stalvey, EVERYTHING IN COLOR out 04/28/2026 Your book explores growing up in an evangelical community where love and obedience were deeply intertwined. When you look back now, how do you understand that relationship differently? One of the most striking ideas in the book is the notion that “our bodies belong to the authority figure.” How did unpacking that belief shape the emotional core of this memoir? Everything in Color is deeply personal, especially in how it portrays your relationship with your husband and your child. What was it like sharing drafts with your husband as you were creating the book? Your journey raises big questions about faith, doubt, and identity. Did you find yourself arriving at answers while making the book, or is it more about learning to live with the questions? The book touches on major shared moments like 9/11 and the COVID lockdown. How did anchoring your personal story to these larger events help shape the narrative? There's a powerful shift in the book where love, especially through motherhood, reframes everything as sacred. When did that realization first begin to take hold for you? This is a massive and ambitious work. Was it always envisioned at this scale, and how long did it take you to bring it to life? The title Everything in Color feels like a mission statement for the book. At what point did you know that was the right way to describe this journey? The artwork blends intimacy with emotional weight throughout. How did you approach pairing your visual storytelling with such vulnerable subject matter?

AI is no longer the question for telecom. Execution is. Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Ross McWalter, Head of Business Development from AWS and Amdocs' Jesse-Lee Fry, VP of Generative AI & Data Growth, for a conversation about why so many AI ambitions still stall before they scale. Together, they explore the gap between proof of concept and production, and why fragmented systems, siloed data, integration complexity, and skills shortages continue to hold telcos back. The discussion looks at what it really takes to move beyond experimentation: unified data foundations, telco-trained agents, enterprise-grade observability, and a more coordinated operating model for AI across the business. From the contact center to the wider value chain, Ross and Jesse outline a shared vision for turning AI into something operational, measurable, and commercially meaningful.

Everyone wants to talk about AI. Far fewer are ready to deal with what it actually demands. Recorded live at Mobile World Congress 2026, this episode of The Great Indoors pairs two sharply different but deeply connected conversations about the future of enterprise technology. In the first, Kathleen Mitford, Corporate VP, Global Industry Marketing at Microsoft, joins Liliana Schwartz Bruner, Amdocs GM, and Matthew Roberts to explain why AI leadership can no longer sit inside technical teams alone. As organizations push to become frontier organizations, AI is beginning to reshape not just productivity, but how marketing, sales, and leadership work together, how decisions are made, and how new growth opportunities are identified. The message is clear: the future will not belong to companies that simply adopt AI tools, but to those that know how to apply them with purpose. The second conversation, with Chris Antlitz, Principal Telecom Analyst at TBR, as he steps back to examine the wider landscape. Here, the focus shifts to sovereignty, trust, infrastructure constraints, geopolitical pressure, and the growing sense that the market is entering a necessary recalibration. From satellite and quantum to the limits of current AI deployment, Chris offers a candid assessment of what is real, what is overestimated, and what business leaders should be watching next.

Enterprise AI is no longer about experimentation alone. The real challenge now is scaling it in a way that delivers measurable value, holds up operationally, and avoids descending into chaos.In this episode of The Great Indoors, Matthew Roberts is joined by Mark Austin, Vice President of Data Science and AI at AT&T, for a grounded conversation on what it really takes to industrialize AI inside a large enterprise. With generative AI now making up the majority of his organization's work, Mark explains why governance, ROI discipline, and structured execution have become essential to moving from isolated projects to enterprise-wide impact. Together, they explore the difference between “vibe coding” and what Mark calls AI fuel coding, why fine-tuned models may offer the rare combination of better, faster, and cheaper, and how AT&T is thinking about agents, orchestration, and AI systems that can operate at scale.

At the Mobile World Congress 2026, one theme rose above everything else: generative AI. Amdocs CEO, Shimie Hortig, joins The Great Indoors to discuss the shift from AI excitement to real-world execution. As generative AI dominates the conversation, Shimie explains that while the technology is advancing at extraordinary speed, enterprise adoption remains far behind. The result is what he calls the “value gap” which is the growing distance between what AI is capable of and what organizations are actually able to implement in ways that deliver measurable results. Together with Matthew Roberts, Shimie explores why closing that gap is so difficult, from security and integration to compliance and organizational change. Recorded live in Barcelona, the episode also captures the intensity of MWC itself and the importance of direct customer feedback in shaping what comes next. At its core, this is a conversation about moving from possibility to practice and about what it will take for the industry to turn AI momentum into real business value.

At MWC Barcelona 2026, the conversation around AI is no longer confined to software. It is becoming physical, personal, and deeply tied to the future of connectivity.In this episode, Matthew Roberts welcomes Don McGuire, EVP & Chief Marketing Officer at Qualcomm, back to the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on what AI-native networks, emerging device form factors, and the next era of telecom could really mean in practice. From Qualcomm's latest announcements around 6G, wearable platforms, agentic modems, and Wi-Fi 8 to the bigger question of how operators evolve in an AI-first world, Don lays out a vision in which connectivity becomes more intelligent, more anticipatory, and more embedded in everyday life.The discussion also explores the role of the modern CMO in navigating AI's competing narratives, why human-led and AI-powered may be the most important balance for marketers to get right, and how younger generations are already treating AI less like a tool and more like a thought partner.

MWC Barcelona 2026 made one thing clear: the telecom industry is entering a new phase, where AI feels more tangible, policy feels more urgent, and innovation is being judged by its real-world impact.In this episode, Matthew Roberts welcomes Lara Dewarr, CMO of the GSMA, back to the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on what this year's event revealed about the future of connectivity. From AI's shift into more embodied, agentic, and consumer-facing experiences to the growing importance of inclusion, regulation, and practical use cases, Lara offers a front-row view of where the industry is heading next. She reflects on 20 years of MWC in Barcelona, the role the event plays in bringing together industry and government, and why marketers, operators, and policymakers are now all grappling with the same challenges. The conversation also explores the risk of leaving communities behind in the AI era, the need for more locally relevant technology, and why sectors like healthcare may be next in line for telecom-led transformation.So if you are interested in the absolute latest from MWC and what it means for telecom on a larger scale, press play!

What do a telecom CEO serving millions of people and a startup R&D leader building a new platform from scratch have in common? More than you might think. Live from MWC Barcelona 2026, Matthew Roberts is back to kick off Season 12 of The Great Indoors. In this episode, two conversations come together to explore how leadership and invention are deeply connected. First, Matt welcomes Carl Raymond Cruz, President and CEO of Globe Telecom. Carl reflects on the responsibility of leading a company that touches everyday life across the Philippines, and shares how Globe is working to expand digital inclusion, modernize the customer experience, and protect people from digital harm. Then, Matt speaks with Val Gorokhovsky, VP of R&D at 31 Concept, whose team has spent the last year building a new telecom intelligence platform for Deep Packet Intelligence which ensures data transfer security. From nation-building to startup building, this episode shows that the future of telecom will not be shaped by technology alone, but by leaders who know how to turn invention into impact.

Returning to the podcast with host Matthew Roberts is Stephanie Ormston, AVP of Product Innovation at AT&T, to explore shifting narratives and public perception of AI in 2026. Starting with practical use cases, they examine how AI continues to impact both individuals and organizations. From there, the conversation expands into the themes still top of mind today: human–AI collaboration, real consumer value, mixed public sentiment, and whether we should be concerned that younger generations are developing an AI-native way of thinking.Despite all this rapid change, Stephanie is adamant that storytelling and authenticity still reign supreme, because when technology companies lose sight of that fact, they risk repeating the failures of the past.

A modern AI education has to wrestle with more than just new tools. It has to ask deeper questions, like how do we understand the models we're building? Who trains them? And who actually gets access to the results?To explore those questions, Matthew Roberts is joined by Dr. Kiesha King, Head of Education Strategy, as they compare the classroom to the boardroom on technology readiness. With this in mind, they look at the ethics, equity, and access challenges of artificial intelligence, discussing the models that can both empower and exclude. And despite all the innovation, Dr. King makes it clear why the teacher still matters. Finally, they look at both the promise and the pressure of AI in education, taking a close look at over-reliance, protection laws, and the other checks that need to be in place. If you want to understand how people are really learning with AI, let this episode be your lesson.

From advertising and memorialized profiles to data ownership and the recording of history, this episode opens Pandora's box at the intersection of morality, business, and memory.This episode may not have all the answers, but it undeniably has all the questions you should be asking.

In this episode of The Workplace podcast, Matthew Roberts, Associate General Counsel for Labor and Employment at the California Chamber of Commerce, is joined by CalChamber Employment Law Counsel Vanessa Greene to discuss why now is the best time to audit, update, and rethink your handbook strategy.

2025 was supposed to be a year of stability for telecom. Instead, it exposed where the industry's assumptions no longer held.In this opening episode of The Great Indoors, now in its 11th season, Matthew Roberts is joined by Craig Moffett who is a co-founder and senior analyst at MoffettNathanson. Craig brings decades of experience tracking broadband, cable, and satellite and has a reputation for clear-eyed analysis that cuts through consensus thinking. They discussed what last year revealed, and what 2026 will demand. Together, they explore why cable may be far better positioned than market sentiment suggests, how competitive pressure continues to weigh on traditional wireless players, and why pricing power proved harder to sustain than many expected. The conversation spans the year's biggest surprises, from EchoStar's spectrum-driven turnaround to the growing, but still limited, role of satellite connectivity. If 2025 tested the narrative, 2026 will test execution.

Can any brand become a mobile provider? That's the question Matthew Roberts explores at MWC Barcelona 2025, as he sits down with two industry leaders who are reshaping traditional telecom models through Amdocs' ConnectX—or as some might call it, “telco in a box.” First, Matt is joined by Stephanie Ormstron, Head of Commercial and Product at AT&T's MVNX Ecosystem. Together, they unpack what mobile virtual network experiences (MVNX) are, how they differ from traditional MVNOs, and why they're opening up powerful new partnership opportunities. Stephanie explains how non-telco brands can now tap into AT&T's network and embed connectivity directly into their customer experience. Next, Matt speaks with Zbigniew Pawlik, better known as Zibi, Founder & CEO of MVNE.PL. Inspired by a transatlantic sailing trip, Zibi shares how he launched his own mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Poland. He walks through the challenges of getting the venture off the ground, why the Polish market has lagged behind the rest of Europe, and how ConnectX is making telecom entrepreneurship more accessible than ever. Whether it's a fintech platform bundling data, or a retail brand offering loyalty-driven mobile plans, hear how connectivity is becoming less about infrastructure—and more about experience.

In 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The events that transpired during their 2015 workup cycle brought us the first-ever declassified footage of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP)and the New York Times article titled: “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program.” Subsequently, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C. where he began to have frequent, and often intense, personal experiences with the phenomenon.He discovered through a long, painful, and terrifying journey that the truth of the phenomenon has deep and profound implications for the future of the human race. It may seem like a bold statement but the ultimate universal truth that underlies the phenomenon is captured in the simple yet eloquent words of Mark Twain, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P9MSQYD https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

The Revoice Conference was founded in 2018 in order to 'support and encourage gay, lesbian, bisexual, and other same-sex attracted Christians—as well as those who love them—so that all in the Church might be empowered to live in gospel unity while observing the historic Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.' (Revoice, Mission Statement). A year after the initial event, aware that the movement was only just beginning, Dr. Jonathan Master wrote a 'Letter from America' in the Banner Magazine. With the help of the analysis of David Wells, he notes the weakness of the postmodern vision of spirituality that informs Revoice's commitments. He points us back to classical Christian spirituality, founded on a commitment to the holiness of God and a seriousness about sin which is well reflected in our second selection, from Geoff Thomas, entitled 'Take Sin Seriously'.   Featured Content: – 'Letter from America: The Revoice Conference', Jonathan Master, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 667 (April 2019). – 'Take Sin Seriously', Geoff Thomas, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 678 (March 2020).   Resources Mentioned: - 'When Christians Adopt Sinful Identities' (segment from Matthew Roberts interview): https://youtu.be/QmFkWDCixXg?si=PecUoJdy5vTIAbsp   Explore the work of the Banner: www.banneroftruth.org Subscribe to the magazine (print/digital/both): www.banneroftruth.org/magazine Leave us a voice message: www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast  

The Gill-man just does it for us. Or Lisa, more specifically. You can have your Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Wolf Man, and Invisible Man; we'll take the wet and wild one off your hands any day of the week. Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! And no more ravishingly than in our hearts. Where other Universal Monsters stem from rich, lurid literature and folklore, the Creature is a far more contemporary cat...er, fish. His origins are chained to the 1954 film, its few sequels, and the morality of that brief timeline. While we've seen artists offer some spins on the design here and there, for the most part, it's been a long time since anyone's properly played in the Creature's intoxicating fish tank. As part of Skybound Entertainment and Universal's recent partnership, writers Ram V and Dan Watters (The One Hand, The Six Fingers), along with artist Matthew Roberts, colorist Dave Stewart, and letterer DC Hopkins, continue the Gill-man's saga, some indeterminate time after the movie climaxed. Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! begins with a journalist tracking a serial killer to the Amazon. We're so darn pleased to have Ram V and Dan Watters on the show this week, talking about Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!, what the Gill-man represents culturally and thematically, and why we have a Kate this time around and not a Kay. Also, which Universal Monster is the most sexy? We get into it whether anyone else wants to or not. The first two issues of Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! are currently available from Skybound. The third issue will land in comic shops on June 26th. To continue this conversation with Ram V, follow his Twitter, Instagram, and Website. To keep chatting with Dan Watters, follow his Twitter and Instagram.
