About this podcast
LabTalks is the podcast for the people making infrastructure decisions in programmatic advertising.
Hosted by Ben Putley, CEO of Alkimi, each episode brings into the open the conversations the industry is having privately: where the money actually goes, what agentic AI means for media buying in practice, and what the supply chain needs to look like for the next era of advertising.
Guests include agency leads, publishers, founders, and technologists who are closest to where the industry is heading.
No vendor pitches. No recycled conference takes. Just the questions worth asking.
