76: Silverado Policy Accelerator's Maureen Hinman: A Trade Veteran’s Blueprint for U.S. AI Competitiveness - Washington AI Network with Tammy Haddad

On this episode of the Washington AI Network Podcast, recorded live at the Special Competitive Studies Project’s AI+Expo, host Tammy Haddad interviews Silverado Policy Accelerator co-founder and executive chair Maureen Hinman about the high-stakes race to power America’s AI future. As Congress weighs the 269-page Great American Artificial Intelligence Act and the nation faces an AI-driven energy demand surge, Hinman issues a stark warning: America's ability to lead in artificial intelligence depends not just on software and models, but on solving foundational problems in energy infrastructure, critical minerals supply chains, and a permitting system built for a different era.

David Mandel talks about final Veep season - Cone of Silence with Tammy Haddad

It’s Emmy weekend and my first guest on the new "Cone of Silence" podcast is the award-winning executive producer and showrunner of HBO's Veep, David Mandel. His comedy career began at Comedy Central and SNL and he went on to produce some of the greatest comedy hits of our time from Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm to taking over Veep in Season 5. We get the inside scoop on how the Veep team put together the last season and came up with the incredibly fitting finale (be warned: spoilers). We also talk about what it's like to work (twice) with the amazing Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and what it takes to stay on top of the comedy game. Plus, learn how Veep always seems to be ahead of the news cycle (we're talking Washington insiders!).
