Description
Agentic Conversations is a weekly technology podcast on Apple Podcasts, hosted by Demetrios and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 24 ratings at the time of writing. Its official title, "Agentic Conversations (formally mlops.community)," reflects a rename from the show's earlier identity as the mlops.community podcast, as it narrowed its focus onto AI agents specifically.

Episodes are relaxed conversations and technical deep dives with practitioners actually building agentic systems, rather than scripted explainers. A recent episode, filmed at AGNTCon and MCPCon in Tokyo, featured Ola Hungerford, Principal Engineer for AI Enablement at Nordstrom and a maintainer of the Model Context Protocol, discussing how "skills over MCP" turn an MCP server from a pile of tools into a distribution channel that hands an agent instructions, workflows and knowledge only when it needs them. Episodes typically include detailed timestamps so listeners can jump to the parts they care about.
The show is produced by the Agentic AI Foundation (aaif.io), which is also home to leading open-source agentic projects including the Model Context Protocol, Agents.md and Goose. That connection puts Agentic Conversations inside the same community building the standards and tools its guests discuss, rather than covering the space from the outside.
It updates weekly and covers topics such as agent memory and context management, evaluation approaches, cost and ROI, and the practical gap between fast-moving AI development and the slower pace of production operations. Discussions often get into specifics: what belongs in a protocol spec versus an application layer, the security risks of passing custom metadata between agents and tools, and where standardization helps versus where it's premature while the field is still working out what agents are actually for.
It's built for engineers and practitioners working on or adjacent to agentic AI systems, including those coming from an MLOps background who are moving into agent infrastructure and tooling, rather than for a general audience new to AI.
