Impact Quantum

Frank La Vigne and Candace Gillhoolley describe their audience as "the quantum curious," and that framing tells you a lot about the show. This is not a podcast aimed at physicists. It is aimed at people who keep hearing about quantum computing and want to actually understand what the fuss is about, without feeling stupid in the process. With 68 episodes on a biweekly release schedule and a perfect 5.0 rating on Apple Podcasts (albeit from a small sample), Impact Quantum has found its niche. The co-host dynamic brings energy. La Vigne has a technology background and Gillhoolley brings media and publishing experience, so together they ask questions from both technical and layperson perspectives. The result is conversations that feel balanced and accessible. The show from Data Driven Media features interviews with quantum researchers, startup founders, and technology strategists. Episodes cover topics ranging from quantum hardware developments to how quantum computing might reshape specific industries. The biweekly pace means they have time to prepare thoughtful episodes rather than chasing every news cycle. What sets Impact Quantum apart is the genuine enthusiasm without the hype. The hosts are clearly excited about the technology but they do not oversell timelines or make promises about quantum supremacy arriving next Tuesday. That kind of measured optimism is refreshing in a space that often runs hot.
