Podcasts about algorithms

KATY IS BACK! And we are proud to report that her new baby no longer looks like far-right French politician Éric Zemmour. Relief all around!    It's been a hectic time in Europe, but we're happy to be covering it all—or, you know, a sizable sliver of it—starting with Latvia's potential withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention and the European Parliament's call for new regulation of algorithmic tech in the workplace. Algorithmic management has made its way into all sorts of industries; we dig into whether or not that's a good thing and how new legislation might help to protect us all.   Then it's off to Paris, where tens of thousands of shoppers have already flooded the aisles of the new brick-and-mortar Shein store and thousands of others have been protesting its very existence. That's not only because of Shein's environmentally toxic business model but because of the recent appearance of some despicable products on its website—which has led the French government to threaten to ban the fast-fashion giant. To break it all down, we rang up Paris-based fashion journalist Dana Thomas, author of the book Fashionopolis and host of the podcast The Green Dream.   Mentioned in this episode:   ‘“Cynical and completely reckless” Latvia has the highest femicide rate in Europe — including Russia. Its parliament just voted to exit a treaty protecting women from violence.' - Meduza, November 4, 2025 EU study: 37% of employees are monitored for working hours 1 in 4 workplaces make decisions with algorithms Case studies in algorithmic management Dana's book Fashionopolis Dana's newsletter, The Style Files   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the Rosalía album Lux and the podcast series Where Is Jón?, a co-production of RTÉ in Ireland and RÚV in Iceland.    We don't often have sponsors on this podcast but this week, we do: Patagonia. Three years ago, Patagonia named Earth as its only shareholder. But moving more profits to environmental causes hasn't made them a perfect company—let alone a sustainable one. Out now is Patagonia's 2025 Work-in-Progress report: the raw truth about where they're messing up, but also, the latest ways they're rethinking business as usual. You can check out the report here.

Joe Rogan weighs in on the church, claiming people attend only to "better their lives." The panel dissects this rosy, misguided view, contrasting church community (which often manipulates vulnerable people) with true secular support. We challenge the notion that Jesus offered a "perfect way to live" and dive into the philosophical debate over whether divine permission makes humans more, or less, decent. Plus, we explore the explosive argument for the mythicist position on the historical Jesus. Theocratic claims crumble under critical scrutiny.News Source:Joe Rogan on Religion and ChristianityBy NewsNation Stafffor NewsNationOctober 29th, 2025

You scroll, you post, you tweak your content, and everything starts to look the same. In 2026, sameness is the silent killer of creativity and visibility. Algorithms reward familiar, not fresh. So if your feed only shows what your competitors post, you'll keep sounding like them. In this episode, I share how to break the copy-paste loop and start seeing new again. You'll learn:

Every week it feels like there's a new app launching, but this one actually has people obsessed.

I'm going to say something that might sound crazy: I spend less than an hour a week on one platform, and it drives over 20,000 visitors to my business every single month. No dancing. No trending audio. No desperate posting three times a day hoping someone sees it. While everyone else is exhausted trying to outsmart the algorithm, I've been quietly winning with a platform where the algorithm actually works with you, not against you. In this episode, we're talking about the platform that outlasted the algorithm, and why Pinterest is still the smartest move you're not making!  Goal Digger Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Show Notes: https://jennakutcherblog.com/how-to-get-traffic-from-pinterest  Thanks to our Goal Digger Sponsors: Sign up for your $1/month Shopify trial period at http://shopify.com/goaldigger.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)What if the “problem behavior” you see- anger, anxiety, avoidance, endless scrolling- is your kid's way of shielding against something deeper? In this episode, I chat with Dr. Marcus Rodriguez, director of the Youth and Family Institute and tenured professor at Pitzer College, about what parents can do when their young adult children struggle with adulting. We dig into when these young adults hit a wall, their nervous systems recruit anger, anxiety, and shame to avoid the pain of “I can't.” Understanding that function changes how we respond at home.With DBT expert Dr. Rodriguez, we unpack why this generation can be deeply caring and also overwhelmed by information designed to agitate. From algorithm-driven feeds that reward outrage to climate fear and economic uncertainty, young people face a flood of threats their brains aren't built to regulate alone. We talk about wild cases of kids getting trapped in upsetting content loops and what media literacy and parent coaching can do to break that cycle.We translate big ideas into everyday moves that you can use with your kids today. If you're parenting a teen in their room, a college student off-track, or a 20-something stuck in avoidance, this conversation offers a practical, hopeful roadmap. If you need more help knowing what to do to help your children struggling with emotions, join KulaMind.Resources:Dr. Rodriguez provides family DBT through his clinic in Los Angeles, Youth and Family Institute. Support the showIf you're navigating someone's mental health or emotional issues, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

Jed has been seeing a lot of conspiracies come up in his feed. Could it be because he is actively looking for it? Or is it the 'government' pushing it on him?

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

In this solo episode, MaryLou explores what it means to lead ourselves in a world where technology, AI, and rapid change are shaping daily lives. Drawing a surprising historical parallel to the Salem Witch Trials, she examines what happens when societies experience massive upheaval, and why so many of us are feeling overwhelmed right now. MaryLou shares a personal story about losing her phone at the airport and the raw emotional reaction that followed. That moment sparks a deeper reflection on our dependence on devices, the tension between convenience and autonomy, and the importance of asking: How much of my life am I handing over without noticing? This conversation is a call back to agency, personal responsibility, and servant leadership. It's about recognizing when the collective hysteria (whether about AI, politics, or culture) has gone too far and choosing to step back into clear-eyed ownership of your choices, your attention, and your life. Key Topics: -What historical mass hysteria can teach us about today -The emotional grip our devices have on us -Why we struggle to cope with massive change -Leadership as the ability to say "enough" -How to think for yourself when everyone is reacting -The relationship between self-inquiry and service to others Three Questions to Reflect On: Where am I reacting instead of choosing? How do my habits shape the quality of my days? Who benefits when I remember to serve—not just consume?

Rage bait pulls your strings and your nervous system pays the price. Social media algorithms thrive on making you angry, fearful, and activated because those emotions keep you scrolling longer, but most people can't spot when they're being manipulated. The internet runs on manufactured outrage that tricks your brain into thinking extreme opinions are everywhere when they're actually held by tiny fractions of people. Your caveman survival instincts make you hyper-focus on threats and problems instead of solutions, which is exactly what content creators exploit for engagement. Dead internet theory reveals most online traffic isn't even human anymore, it's bot farms flooding comments to sway opinions and create artificial division. Learning your personal "tells" when rage bait hooks you, like forming an angry response or that frustrated sigh, gives you the pause needed to respond from wisdom instead of activated emotions. Time boxing your apps, curating ruthlessly by blocking anything that activates you, and the 48-hour rule help protect your nervous system from being puppet-mastered by algorithms designed to keep you in fight-or-flight mode.

November 7, 2025: AI is rewriting the world of work. This episode covers the major shifts making headlines today: Elon Musk's warning of a "supersonic tsunami" of job losses, record-breaking layoffs across U.S. companies, and Italy's landmark move to regulate how employers use AI. Microsoft's mass cuts are testing the myth of job security, while Airbus redefines HR as the architects of the future. Meanwhile, the New York Times argues the AI apocalypse isn't here yet—it's just reshaping how companies restructure—and Bloomberg reports the worst October for job cuts in over two decades. Together, these stories reveal a deeper trend: AI isn't simply automating work, it's exposing whether leaders can adapt fast enough to build trust, design new roles, and keep the human experience at the center of progress.

Today, Jesse is joined by Professor John Dinsmore—behavioral finance researcher, marketing scholar, and author of The Marketing of Debt: How They Get You—for a conversation about how persuasion, psychology, and modern advertising quietly shape our financial lives. Together, they explore how marketers exploit human biases like loss aversion, anchoring, and over-optimism to sell products, loans, and debt, and why AI-driven "adaptive ads" are making it harder than ever to recognize when we're being influenced. John shares real-world examples—from car dealerships to "buy now, pay later" offers and sports betting apps—revealing how even savvy consumers fall prey to tactics designed to exploit fear, emotion, and cognitive shortcuts. The discussion also dives into the growing vulnerability of retirees targeted by complex financial products, and why awareness, self-monitoring, and slowing down decisions are key defenses. Throughout, Jesse and John remind listeners that acknowledging our weaknesses is a strength—and that understanding how marketing works is one of the best ways to protect both our wallets and our wellbeing.  Key Takeaways:• Marketing works on everyone—even when we think we're immune. Most people admit that advertising influences others, but few realize how deeply it shapes their own decisions. • People tend to believe they'll have more time, money, or stability in the future, making it easy to justify debt today. • Loss aversion drives many financial mistakes. We fear losses more than we value gains, which leads us to buy unnecessary warranties, insurance, or "safety" products. • AI-powered marketing will get subtler. As systems learn to mimic human tone and emotion, it will become harder to tell when you're being influenced. • Social media blurs the line between content and advertising. Influencer partnerships and native ads make it harder to recognize when you're being sold to. • Being "weak" isn't failure—it's human. Admitting our psychological blind spots allows us to build systems and habits that protect us.

Community Is The Future: How To Win Without AlgorithmsGina Bianchini believes the future belongs to people who know how to bring people together. In this episode of Just Keep Learning, we dive deep into the power of digital communities, how to build a thriving membership business, and why creators should stop chasing followers and start creating spaces for transformation.As the founder of Mighty Networks, Gina has helped thousands of entrepreneurs—from yoga teachers to career coaches—build their own communities that are more than just audiences. She explains how anyone can turn their passion into a business by creating a community around purpose, identity, and results.From Silicon Valley To Mighty MovementsGina started her career in Silicon Valley during the early days of social media. But after co-founding Ning, she realized the real value wasn't in broadcasting, it was in belonging. That led her to launch Mighty Networks, a platform focused on giving creators the tools to build high-impact, high-value communities and online courses all in one place.We talk about her journey, the difference between superficial engagement and meaningful transformation, and why she believes the next wave of the internet is community-first, not content-first.Monetization Through CommunitySo many creators are told they need to go viral, build a huge following, and then maybe—just maybe—monetize with ads or sponsors. Gina offers a better path.She explains how to build a business that makes money by solving real problems for a specific group of people. Through memberships, courses, events, and community experiences, creators can start earning much earlier and more sustainably—without relying on algorithms or reach.Community Design & Business StrategyGina introduces the three key elements of Community Design:A clear purpose that aligns with transformationA specific identity that members aspire toA structured path that delivers resultsShe shares how to structure your community for engagement, scale your value, and guide your members through a journey that actually improves their lives.We also touch on mindset shifts, including why creators need to think like entrepreneurs, how to manage imposter syndrome, and the importance of leading with curiosity.Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsBuild for belonging, not just attentionMonetization is about results, not reachStart small, but start with transformationSoft skills like storytelling, facilitation, and empathy are your superpowersThe platform you use should amplify your purpose, not distract from itDon't be afraid to niche down, because specificity scales Memorable Quotes“The future belongs to people who know how to bring people together.”“You don't need a million followers, you need a hundred people on a mission.”“Community is not about content. It's about transformation.”“Stop building funnels. Start building results.”Final Advice For CreatorsChoose your niche, find your purpose, and start building something real for real people.Your job isn't to entertain the algorithm—it's to lead a transformation. When you do that, everything else—income, impact, growth—will follow.Guest BioGina Bianchini is the founder and CEO of Mighty Networks, a platform that helps creators, coaches, and entrepreneurs build digital communities, memberships, and courses.

We are beleaguered and besieged by communists on the Left, Islamists, third-world migration, and then institutional Republicans who help facilitate it while pretending to fight it. The divide used to be between the grassroots and K Street. But now reactionaries who claim to oppose all of this but then add their own fascist nonsense to the mix of vices we face are ensuring that no legitimate right-wing movement with a soul, mind, and heart can arise to redress our problems. Today, I discuss how algorithmic prostitutes are distracting from the real civil war on the Right with corporatist special interests and making everything about Israel and the Jews. Towards the end, I discuss problems with use of federal land for AI data centers rather than food and how AI is all about escapism rather than creating solutions and progress. Interestingly, AI chatbots are a lot like the online Right.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send me a messageIn this debut episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I chat with Rich Savoie, Co-founder and CEO of Adiona, about how data-driven optimisation and electric fleets are transforming last-mile logistics. Rich's work with giants like Coca-Cola and Australia Post proves that sustainability and resilience aren't trade-offs, they're multipliers.You'll hear how Adiona's algorithms cut drive time by nearly half, reduced trucks by 15%, and delivered major emissions savings, all without slowing operations. We dig into why the “last mile” is the shortest leg of the supply chain but the dirtiest, and how real-time data, human-centred AI, and electrification can flip that equation. You might be surprised to learn how labour costs, not fuel, dominate delivery economics, and why getting data transparency right could unlock exponential efficiency.We also touch on the future: from cargo bikes to quantum computing, and why Rich believes fleets that fail to embrace EVs now will be left idling on the kerb.

We talk about why immersive experiences are so energizing and interesting. We also explore how we can know ourselves better by considering what the algorithm reflects back to us about our interests, and we talk about the satisfaction of clearing clutter.
