No Hacks with Slobodan Manic: The Agentic Web, Unhyped
No Hacks with Slobodan Manic is a podcast about the agentic web: what happens when the visitors reading, citing, and buying from your website aren't human. Each episode is a clear take on what actually changed this week, whether it's real or hype, and whether it touches your website's traffic, revenue, or legal exposure. No clickbait, no vendor talking points, just a practitioner who checks the primary source and tells you plainly.
