AI Mom

You might think this is a podcast about AI and you would be right, but it's also a story about becoming a better witness in the age of AI—follow one mother's journey from fearing for humanity to paying attention to it again. Hosted by the feminine warrior, Amanda "Mandi" Beck, this is where overthinking becomes public service. She spends an unreasonable amount of time researching who's hiring, what's worth learning, and where the future is going, so you can spend more time wondering why your kid only eats ketchup. You'll find complex ideas translated into "mom brain" terms, hard questions with harder-to-know answers, and enough AI knowledge to sound mildly cool at your next playdate. Or confuse everyone equally. Now that a super intelligence has been born, there's only one more thing to do. Pay attention. The real question isn't what AI will become. It's who we'll become while it's happening. You'll also hear Mandi's ongoing experiment of treating agentic AI less like software and more like a business partner. With Claude Code, she's developed an AI that's more like a girls' journal that talks back and a boss babe's CEO whose job it is to prioritize & compile all 10k ideas. The gift? An unfolding in real-time from the middle of a moment that is probably, definitely, maybe the biggest technological shift in human history. Welcome. If you're raising kids with dirt under their fingernails, paint on their sleeves, and enough imagination to make a chatbot question its life choices, you're in the right place. Whether you're a business-savvy babe, an AI skeptic, or you simply want to protect your kids, AI Mom is here to help you awaken your inner *Elrond with a little *elf humor. Be wise enough to see what's coming, grounded enough to guard what matters, and brave enough to step toward the future. Let's plug in and stay human.
