Semantic layers

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of Semantic layers - the shows and 12 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Semantic layers have emerged as a critical infrastructure component for data teams, sitting between raw data and business users to enforce consistent definitions and governance. These episodes explore how companies like Denodo are architecting active data systems, how practitioners apply context engineering and advanced SQL techniques to build trusted analytics, and whether semantic layers justify their complexity - with voices from analytics leaders like Ashutosh Katiyar and FP&A innovators examining AI's role in moving finance teams beyond Excel-dependent workflows.
