Read any business magazine and you will find an article saying something along the lines of \"Business Analytics is the hottest job category out there, and there is a significant lack of people, process and best practice.\" In this case the conference was eMetrics, the bar was….multiple, and the attendees were Michael Helbling, Tim Wilson and Jim Cain (Co-Host Emeritus). After a few pints and a few hours of discussion about the cutting edge of digital analytics, they realized they might have something to contribute back to the community. This podcast is one of those contributions. Each episode is a closed topic and an open forum - the goal is for listeners to enjoy listening to Michael, Tim, and Moe share their thoughts and experiences and hopefully take away something to try at work the next day. We hope you enjoy listening to the Digital Analytics Power Hour.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T14:22:38.009366+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338"},"episode":{"title":"#288: Our LLM Suggested We Chat about MCP.

And, along with the acronyms, we pretty much could predict that we see a lot of online flexing through casual dropping of said acronyms as though they're deeply understood by everyone who's anyone. We tackled one such acronym on this episode: MCP! That's \"model context protocol\" for those who like their acronyms written out, and Sam Redfern joined us to help us wrap our heads around the topic. You see, MCP is kinda' like some other more familiar acronyms like API and XML. But, it's also like… fingers? Sam's enthusiasm and explanation certainly had us ready to dive in! This episode's Measurement Bite from show sponsor Recast is an explanation of model robustness from Michael Kaminsk y!
