Forbes launches tech podcast The Premise

Managing editor Bruce Upbin of Forbes writes about the start of its new tech podcast The Premise.

Upbin writes, “With interviews, features and audio op-eds, The Premise is for and about the people who buy and sell technology for a living. Sometimes we’ll talk about consumer gadgets, but this is mostly a business show because we’re mostly a business new operation. We’ll be looking at trends in mobile, cloud, security, data — and the occasional cool stapler.

“The name of the show is a play on a bit of tech jargon used to describe the location of an organization’s computer, storage and networking hardware. If it’s in a remote data center it’s ‘off-premise.’ If it’s in a closet down the hall it’s ‘on premise.’ Also, if you’re in the tech business, you more or less have to believe in the premise (or promise) of technology to make the world a better place. And that’s the point of the show, to see if and where this is happening.”
