THD Podcast 127 - Auracast, BLE, and the Future of Bluetooth. How the New BT Works!

The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.

In episode 127 of the THD Podcast, Jackson Keating, a freelance firmware developer and expert in Bluetooth architecture from Wiser Devices, joins the podcast.

Jackson is here to explain the shift currently occurring in wireless connectivity: the move from Bluetooth Classic to Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) Audio. The development and deployment have been painfully slow, and the details on the protocol, even BT SIG people have never been able to explain to me, so in this episode, we explore the LC3 Codec, Auracast™ Broadcast Audio, the protocol, and other bits that everyone is asking and no one is answering.

Join us as we discuss the technical hurdles, the rollout of 2026, and how Jackson is helping teams navigate this new ecosystem at Wiser Devices.
