Introducing the new AI Inside podcast!
There is AI Inside EVERYTHING! Jeff Jarvis and I will talk all about it every week starting Wednesday, January 24.
AI Inside, the new weekly podcast with me and Jeff Jarvis, launches officially today! I could not be more thrilled to kick this project off and knowing that I get to do a weekly show of this caliber with a personal hero of mine is a true gift.
First, the most important details
The show’s website can be found at aiinside.show.
The first episode will be released on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.
You can SUBSCRIBE for free right now to the audio podcast via RSS or at any of the major podcatchers including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocketcasts.
You can also SUPPORT us directly through our new Patreon at patreon.com/aiinsideshow. There are a few choice tiers that include bonus content and ad-free delivery!
There will be a live video stream during the recording of the show on Wednesdays at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern. That is unless a scheduling issue makes that impossible. The live recording will stream to Jason's YouTube channel (for now) and Twitch.
Recorded video of the episode will be posted to the show's website at aiinside.show and Jason's YouTube channel.
There is no video podcast feed at this time. Sorry.
Why now is the right time for AI Inside
OK, now that we have that out there, let’s talk a bit about why Jeff and I are choosing to bring AI Inside to the podcast world.
There is no question that this moment in time is hard to compare. The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: Artificial Intelligence is having a major influence on it, and it’s here to stay. We are fascinated with the capabilities of this technology, the rapid rate of advancements, and the impact that will undoubtedly be felt on so many things we might currently take for granted.
To put it bluntly, there is AI Inside EVERYTHING. So then, what does this all lead? What amazing things will we see as these systems improve? What should we be concerned about? How can we draw attention to potential pitfalls before things get out of hand?
Jeff Jarvis and I are optimistic about a future where AI sits inside so much of our world. But we aren't fanboys of the technology either. With this show, we plan to shine a balanced, even-handed light on the good and the bad during a time in the world of technology that is dizzying and frenetic.
We have plans to interview some of the biggest names in the field on the show. Jeff's career and experience in journalism and media studies give him access to some pretty remarkable people. My career in technology podcasting gives me the ability to be nimble and creative in how we take these opportunities and conversations and craft a show that's entertaining, thought-provoking, and interactive.
We are thirsty to get things rolling, and so we will, starting next Wednesday, January 24 with episode 1.
How you can be involved
There are a few ways that you can be involved from day one. First and foremost, subscribe to the podcast. You can do this right now as we have an episode ZERO in the feed waiting for you. Subscribe via RSS if you are the techy type, or search your favorite podcatcher for “AI Inside” and subscribe from there. (But I’ll save some of you the trouble: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocketcasts)
If you want to support Jeff and me directly, you can do so through our new Patreon at Patreon.com/aiinsideshow. There, you will find a choice of tiers that afford additional perks on top of the weekly podcast. If you are a paid supporter of any tier, you will be notified when new episodes are posted and gain access to the AI Inside community by way of a private Discord. If you are a paid member of the ad-free tier, that will give you access to a special podcast feed of all shows without ads. And if you are paying for the extras, you’ll be invited to monthly hangout video chats and be treated to at least one piece of bonus content per month. We have a lot of ideas and are excited to finally have the playground in which to execute them
At the end of the day, Jeff and I recognize that we don't know everything there is to know about AI. This show is a catalyst for increasing our own knowledge and aptitude with the technology, and you being here with us means we can all benefit together. We are PUMPED!
Bonus information about AI Inside and Yellowgold Studios
Before I was let go from TWiT last month, I had been workshopping a new show for Club TWiT that was ultimately to be called AI Inside. Jeff Jarvis and I began work on the new show shortly after All About Android was canceled last Summer, and over the following six months, we created the foundation of something special. The biggest challenge was that it was behind the paywall and relatively unavailable for free. The ideal approach was to have a show that everyone could enjoy, and we are happy to deliver that today.
On a personal note, AI Inside is the first podcast released through my new company, Yellowgold Studios. A lot has happened in a month since my layoff and while being self-employed carries with it a lot of uncertainty, it’s been liberating and satisfying creating something out of nothing. The choice of “Yellowgold Studios” as my company name felt like a no-brainer considering my lifetime of creative work done under the Yellowgold moniker. (You can find my music on Spotify and Apple Music if you wish.)
Yellowgold Studios will be the home of all of my future projects, be they podcasts, music production for licensing (like the music you hear on AI Inside), podcast production services, and possibly even podcast consultation. I’m still very much building the business, but one thing is certain. AI Inside is the first official Yellowgold Studios production and I couldn’t be prouder about that.
See you Wednesday, January 24!
I think that’s about it, everyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. I hope you find something compelling with what Jeff Jarvis and I are offering to you with AI Inside and I can’t wait to start learning even more about this fascinating moment in technology. If you want to learn along with us, well hop on board. AI Inside begins next Wednesday, January 24. We will see you then!
This is beyond awesome, Jason. And, as a fledgling podcaster myself (as you well know :) I am blown away by how quickly and robustly you are getting this into gear. Given the hotness and importance of the topic, combined with your deep skills and polished talent, I predict big, big things for AI Inside. Can’t wait to hear the first show Jan 24!
Neat!
