🎙️ Everyone's talking about AI agents. Almost nobody's talking about the quiet standard that actually lets them do anything. This episode is about that standard — the Model Context Protocol — and why it matters for broadcast.

🔌 In this episode:

• What MCP actually is (the "USB-C for AI"), in plain English
• Its rise: from one company's idea to industry infrastructure in eighteen months
• The off-the-shelf connectors already out there — and how they map onto broadcast systems
• Agent workflows: describe the outcome, let the AI wire the tools together
• Where it bites first for broadcasters: the archive, compliance, the newsroom, ad ops
• Tools, skills, subagents and evals — how to keep agents maintainable
• The honest risks, and how to adopt with discipline

🧠 The takeaway: the data and the craft were always the moat. MCP is the bridge that finally lets AI reach it.
