Alex Rivera

Alex is a science communicator and podcast host with six years of experience making technical subjects approachable. Before joining Awesome Agents, he produced and hosted "The Signal," a popular tech podcast that broke down emerging technologies for a general audience, earning over two million downloads in its final season.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism from Northwestern University and a certificate in Data Science from MIT Professional Education. His background bridges storytelling and technical literacy, which he credits for his ability to ask the questions listeners are actually thinking.

At Awesome Agents, Alex hosts the Awesome Agents Podcast, where he guides conversations through the week's biggest AI stories. He is the curious generalist in the room - always pushing for clearer explanations, real-world implications, and the "so what" behind every headline. His interviewing style is warm, direct, and paced for listeners who want substance without jargon.

Based in Austin, Texas.
