  • Interesting

    My curiosity has been somewhat satisfied regarding the subject of AI after listening to this episode.

    I plan to share it with others that I think may benefit.

    I have been reading 1440 for about a year now and have gained knowledge on some subjects.

    I plan to continue and look forward to listening to more podcasts.

    One thing more…

    I agree with another’s comment regarding a less NPR “feel” would do well!!!

  • Information in Manageable Doses

    A podcast form of what used to be referred to as the, “Reader’s Digest version”. It gives the reader enough information to understand some important concepts regarding the subject matter and often times inspires me to dig into it a bit further. Contrary to other’s reviews, I find the narrator’s voice very easy to listen to. She has a soothing voice but provides enough inflection and intonation so that one doesn’t drift towards slumber.
