Cheering on Suspicious Minds at the Webbys

And a wink about Season 2

It’s not often you get to cheer on a podcast you’re a guest on — but here we are!

The Suspicious Minds podcast has just been nominated for two Webby Awards (often called the Oscars of the Internet, apparently):

🏆 Podcast: Limited Series & Specials — Documentary
🏆 Best New Podcast: News, Business & Society

And they’re going up against Google, Apple, NBCUniversal, CNN and National Geographic, which for an independent outfit is a wild achievement.

Season 1, AI and Psychosis, went into the unsettling territory where AI is bumping up against the human mind — the delusions, the dependencies, the strange new ways these systems are seeding meaning (and unmaking it) in people’s lives. It’s been in Apple’s Top 100 Series for six months straight and is currently sitting in the Top 25 Science podcasts, which tells you something about how much the subject is in the water.

And yours truly is a guest on the upcoming Season 2 — AI and Apocalypse (more on that soon). We get into the bigger civilisational stuff — what AI is doing to our myths, our institutions, our sense of where all this is heading. A juicy heap to chew on.

If you fancy throwing a vote behind an independent team doing genuinely substantive work, public voting closes Thursday, 16 April — so don’t dawdle:
