What is AI baby slop and how can we save our kids from it?
It's like brain-rot but for babies. And all of a sudden, it's not funny anymore. AI baby slop, a form of content that consists of highly stimulating audio and video of random objects and sounds, posted on YouTube, and found by children whose algorithm cues it up after their parent chose a separate video. Host Catherine Jette speaks with Dr. Keri Ewart, Chair of the Bachelor of Education program and assistant professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, to discuss how these videos are produced and for whom. They also dig into what kind of content children should be consuming, and how AI can help in childhood development, but with close supervision.

TRUE CRIME
In 1958, teenage runaway Lana Ponting was sent to one of Canada’s most notorious psychiatric institutions: The Allan Institute. There, she became part of a series of secretive and controversial experiments designed to break down and rebuild the human mind through electroshocks, drugs, and barbaric treatments. Decades later, Lana is one of the last known survivors. Her memories are fractured but what she remembers is enough to expose something far bigger than one hospital. In Project Mind Control, criminal psychologist Dr Julia Shaw follows Lana’s story into a shadow world of covert CIA involvement, missing Indigenous children, and allegations that orphaned and vulnerable kids were supplied for experimentation. What emerges is a disturbing pattern: an international effort to weaponize psychology and control human behaviour. The truth may never be complete but the crimes demand to be uncovered. Launching March 17th! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TRUE CRIME
For decades, the Georgia Guidestones were nothing more than kitschy roadside Americana…a curiosity people visited for fun, intrigue…and the occasional pagan ritual. Nicknamed “America’s Stonehenge,” the Guidestones' arrival was just as mysterious. As the legend goes, they were commissioned by a secretive funder named R.C. Christian, who wanted the stones inscribed with ten “commandments” for surviving the apocalypse. But a lot of people didn’t believe that story. Wrapped in rumors, the Guidestones became magnets for religious panic, conspiracy theories, political extremism, and online rhetoric. Over the years, the stories about the stones have continued to evolve. But something changed in 2022. the Guidestones became a flashpoint. One that resulted in a real-world act of domestic terror. It's a mystery that to this day, has never been solved. This all new podcast from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Goat Rodeo takes listeners to the small town of Elberton and on a wild ride through granite quarries, graves, cults, Confederate monuments, a swatting raid, and A LOT of explosives.

TRUE CRIME
Lowlines is a sonic scrapbook and a passport to roam. Following one woman’s pull to tune into the pulse of place - befriending strangers along the way. Feeling pranged out by the London business hustle, food entrepreneur Petra Barran brought an audio recorder and set off with no itinerary, guided simply by a hunger to get lower and closer to the ground. The series is a holiday for the ears, taking us to the heartbeat of New Orleans, the low-slung wetlands of South Louisiana, the slow gyrations of the Amtrak to Tucson. Down to the brittle rasp of the Sonoran desert, the rich, volcanic soil of Mexico City’s Aztec allotments and further, to the soaring jungle chorus of the Peruvian Amazon.
