Full Circle with Danny Quinn

Full Circle is a podcast about data centres, AI and emerging disruptive technologies, and what they mean for the rest of us.

I am Danny Quinn. I build AI data centres and data-sovereign cloud and AI services in Scotland for a living, so I'm not a neutral observer. That's why the guest list isn't just people who agree with me. Engineers, founders, economists, climate campaigners, sceptics, politicians, teachers and small business owners. If you've got a view on where this is going, I want it on the record.

We cover the technical side (power, water, grid, chips, cooling), the economic side (jobs, investment, who pays, who benefits), the social and political side (planning, communities, regulation, trust) and the ethical questions that sit under all of it.

Full Circle is powered by DataVita. The views are mine and my guests' alone.
