Episode Description
In this episode we introduce you to each of us - Tracie, Ben, Justin, and Cat - and discuss why we decided to add another podcast into the audio ether.
You’ll hear a bit about our work outside the podcast and how we aim to think with you, a community of listeners who might want to explore AI and popular culture.
Take a seat at the table, and let the discussion begin!
