Behind the Data Center

Daniel Luedke

Behind the Data Center is an investigative documentary podcast about the physical infrastructure powering artificial intelligence. From vast server campuses and cooling systems to transmission lines, public hearings, water, tax incentives, and the communities next door, each episode follows the real-world systems beneath the “cloud.” Clear-eyed conversations about who benefits, who bears the risk, and what the AI buildout demands of the places it touches.
